Are the newer version of the JFIT ball really constructed better? I am debating of getting this or one from Dynamax unfortunately they are much higher

I love my JFIT ball. I've used it mostly in a garage so it has been slammed against the concrete floor without the typical gym padding, and the unfinished drywall. Even smacked the garage door runners/spring a couple of times-- stupid garage--and it looks like brand new. Dynamax is an excellent brand, but I'm happy with the 25lb one from jfit. Hope that helps.

The Dynamax balls are definitely better. The JFIT ball is slicker and not quite as rugged. If you are using it alone in your garage it would be fine. Heavy use in a box i doubt they would hold up like a Dynamax

the J/fit ball that I ordered is constructed very very well. The dynamax ball was a lot more money, that's why i chose this one and i've been very happy.

Mine is very well constructed, and the place I used to work out before I started working out at home, had JFIT balls and they got a LOT of use. They were also in terrific condition.

I would say if you are going to have big strong people using the balls go with Dynamax.

The new material of the j/fit Medicine Ball Max is almost an exact copy of the dynamax balls. I've used both brands and now personally own 4 of the j/fit ones...10-15-20&30# balls.

Personally, I don`t feel very stable while working out on this twist model, I`d rather have the classic model. I also found that my sports shoes were slipping too, couldn`t clutch onto the surface. For this reason I`ll sell it and get the old model that I had before. I work out regularly in a gym but I bought this appliance because I don`t have time to go the guy as much as I`d like since I can take my kids with me.

I ordered the pro because I'm using it for my personal training studio. Usually with products, price increase and 1 step up from the original should be considered as a better product. Diameter, sturdiness and material make the difference.

The one I got is pretty shallow. People have told me it's a D league ball. Hard to play with. No grip at all

I own both balls. I prefer the feel of the evolution when new as it's nice and soft. It's also a bit lighter; not a lot, but noticeable. But after a short time the tackiness of my evolution wore off and got rather slippery. The solution isn't as soft and a bit more "harsh" but maintains the feel for much longer. I'd recommend giving both a feel.

My advice is to send it back. My Bounce back lasted less than a year before the springs started ripping thru their supports. Champion said tough luck. Find a different brand.

Not sure Katie but I googled this and most are maximum of 250 lbs. I LOVE this ball and also bought one for a gift for a gym partner. Great quality for a great price! Pumps up with the included pump really fast too. I would highly recommend this fitness ball. If you're not familiar with exercises for the ball, the included DVD provides a total workout too.

From what I read before the motor is stronger in the Elite. The description for the Elite also says this: "New, 2x more powerful motor than original Yonanas". I haven't had an issue with the motor on the regular Yonana so I don't know if it's worth spending the extra money.

Its a step up from beginners ' cuz it is a reaction ball, but then u have the more expensive balls.. I would say its for experienced players

Purchased the red 65cm because of its high weight capacity (researched here and elsewhere). I'm very large, nearly 500 lbs. and bounce the hell out of this thing. :) No issues! Owned my first for about a year before accidentally rolling on a nail, have had my second for months. Minimal leakage under great strain. I'm a bottom heavy female, about 5'4" or a little less, and I do have to somewhat roll onto the ball because I'm so short but I make it work.

I am not sure where the mix reviews are coming from. I weight about 200lbs and use this ball daily, several hours a day. I sit up hard, stretch, bounce, and have never felt that ball was not performing the way it should. As a matter of fact, I am surprised it has held air as long as it has with all the daily abuse. This has been an excellent product for me. Further more, when you buy this ball and use it for a couple of months, leave an honest comment and call the company and in return for your honest feedback they will mail you a resistance band of your choice for free.

It seems to be firmer than the Evolution, but not as firm as the official NBA ball. It still has a little bit of "squish" to it, but not to the extent of the Evolution.

I am assuming but don't see the $99 lax wall, that the difference is the automatic ball return. It is extremely useful. I find it to be a nuisance to retrieve balls after they have been shot into the holes, especially since the "WALL" is designed not to penetrate.

I bought one and my son took it for HS tennis. The original strings are good but there is a fair amount of shock with them. We replaced them with Prince beast 17. The over the top power remained. Control and spin improved, and the shock went away.

I believe that these balls are color coded by the manufacturer and the 65cm is only in this one color. You might check three things: 1. Is it inflated enough? 2. Did you check the ball size versus your height on the chart in the description of the ball? Here it is: Size Chart (Ball Diameter&gt; User Height): 45cm/18in&gt; 5'0"/152cm 55cm/22in&gt; 5'1" - 5'6"/155 -167cm 65cm/26in&gt; 5'7" - 6'1"/170 - 185cm 75cm/30in&gt; 6'2" - 6'8"/188cm - 202cm 3. If the size chart is correct for you, are you using a trainer who might be able to help make sure your body position, etc. is correct? Personally, I have the same green one that you purchased. I am only 5'3" but my trainer and my physical therapist and I found that this 65cm size (which the chart says is too big for me) was really the right size for me to do the particular kind of exercise that I need. As a result I have a couple of exercise balls when I only intended to have one. However, my trainer has been able to make good use of them all (and they are cheap!).

It sounds as though your ball is not seated properly or the connection is not tight enough. I have had this model for nearly a year with no stability issue at all. My husband has used the same type for nearly three years and his is still very stable. Mine did come loose one time and I had trouble getting back on securely. Once I got it to 'snap' in place it has remained tight and moves only when I move it myself. If this is a new purchase I would suggest contacting the seller for replacement.

The excel is supposed to be more for outdoor. But they both play the same. Have to say though this ball while it says outdoor will lose its grip in a month or two. For street ball it picks up dirt like crazy and you will lose your handles on almost anything but a simple layup. Personally trying the Nike elite ball at dicks. For 30ish bucks I hear good things. Had a chance to play the grooves on the Nike ball facilitates better shooting and handling
