I like the idea of this ball, but in practice it's only okay.I bought this med ball primarily to use to add resistance to core work, and it does that well.It's also so small that it is not suitable for partner-based core work.I think it would have a lot better chance of going flying if I threw it or had it thrown to me.The most annoying thing is that it has developed a divot in its side that I cannot get rid of no matter how I squish the ball around.I don't think anything could have punctured the ball, so I have no idea why it has a flat spot.I am looking into purchasing a heavier med ball soon, and I will be going with the harder basketball-style med balls.I don't want another ball that will develop flat spots.
Edited to add: I spoke with a very friendly Power Systems rep who instructed me to put "a few puffs of air" into the ball with a ball pump.She said that if that didn't work, that these med balls come with a three year warranty and that I could get a replacement!The puffs of air fixed, and I now have a ball that is actually ball-shaped.I will leave the review of the ball at three stars, but Power Systems gets five stars for standing behind their product.
