You’ll look silly but it’s addicting

July 17, 2017

One of my coworkers suggested getting one of these as they’re fun to exercise with. I was trying it when my husband came home from work and we had a bit of laugh. He said it looked like one of the toys we play with our cat with. He tried it on and slapped the ball around a little bit. After a while he was punching it harder and harder and got into rhythm. What’s funny is the harder he hit it, the harder it would snap back, socking him in the face occasionally. He said it’s good motivation, but I got a kick out of him getting smacked in the face repeatedly. Despite the grief he gave me over using it initially, I’ve noticed he’s used it several times out in the garage as he’s working to “get back into fighting shape” which is funny as he’s an accountant.

Good hand eye coordination training, if you dont break it first

Being an avid boxer for 4 years of my life (in the past), I have decent hand eye coordination. With that being said, this product will frustrate you to no end. It works as designed, and actually works much better with boxing gloves, as opposed to bare hands or wrapped hands. I wouldn't recommend even trying with wrapped hands, as the uneven wrapping has the ball going all over the place.

Do NOT trust the videos you see about this product, it is NOT and easy product to use or become proficient at. It will take time and work, but it will also certainly increase your hand eye coordination, similar to the double end bag. If you are a novice I would recommend you stick to the double end for now, as this product will most likely be one of those you use twice and set aside. Once proficient it is fun, but not a super challenging workout, either.

Reasons for three stars:

-Cheaply made product, from the head strap to the elastic band holding the ball. Dont expect velcro to last long, especially if using while sweating. I also expect the elastic band, which is already fraying, to snap anytime now, and Ive only used it irregularly for about 2 months.

-Not a good workout. The product advertises it being a workout, which it certainly is not. Its more of a fun "game" that could also be used as a warm up along with shadow boxing

-False advertisements on ease of use. This is NOT an easy to use product, as I stated earlier. I am not a great boxer, but I have enough hand eye coordination to use this, but I still am not great at it. It will take lots of practice, especially if you are a rookie.

Amazing training tool!!

I would give it five stars but it keeps whipping me in my eye.

I actually box and I can tell you this thing has drastically improved the accuracy of my punches. With plenty of practice you'll soon be able to punch this thing like you would a pad or reflex pad. If you can accurately control this ball with punches from a boxing stance you'll see pin point accuracy manifest in your performance.

Highly recommended!

Don't I feel smart. After watching him

OK, I was a little skeptical when ordering this as I couldn't imagine how in the world this things works. Admittedly even after I received the item I put it on and tried hitting the ball how I thought it should be hit. Was I successful. NO WAY. Then my 14 year old son got ahold of this and mastered it in about 5 minutes. Don't I feel smart. After watching him, it's amazing how quickly he picked this up. I'm amazed at how well this will improve his eye hand coordination. I feel confident if someone tries to hit him he will block it good!! Now I will be attempting to start this again seeing how my son has mastered this and I feel I will be successful it mastering this item. I can't wait to get started!

lots of fun

This is so much fun!! I will admit, I wasn't sure how much I would like this, but figured it would be good to keep my responses quick. It seems totally awkward at first, but once you get the hang of it it is so much fun and really does help with hand eye coordination. You won't get a cardio workout with this, but if you use it long enough it can give your arms a little workout. I'm a little on the short side, but I just wrap the cord around the headband a couple of times to shorten the string which makes it easier for me to reach the ball. This is a fun way to work your arms and hand eye coordination and I think it would be great for the whole family!

This toy is so fun! I didn't expect it to be as fun or adictive as it is. You put the strap around your head and hit the ball. Excellent for hand eye coordination, would be an fantastic tool to improve that. I am short and I found that as is, the string was too long. I just wrap the sting around the headband a few times and it's perfect. I do this for the kids too and they have a blast with it. When I first tried it I didn't think I would ever be able to do it but it didn't take long to be able to hit the ball pretty efficiently. The ball is soft and squishy and doesn't hurt when it hits you. Buy one! You will have a blast.

Fun and a real workout!

OK, so I watched a couple of videos about how this Boxing Reflex Ball Great for Training to Improve Reactions and Speed, Boxaball Boxing Gym Equipment Super for Both Training and Fitness works. So, of course I thought I would be an instant pro at using it. WRONG! It took me a while to get the hang of it but it was such a wild workout. I was tired and sweating, but didn't feel like I was actually exercising while doing it. I am going to get my kids to use this for a real workout.

Awesome product but there’s a fatal flaw: The square rubber piece that attaches the string to the headband has a small hole that houses the string.Read more

Use with caution

Cable snapped and whipped me in the face. Use with protective glasses.

Works as expected but buy eye protection. It will eventually smack you in the eye.
