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.

I had pressure loss from a ball saver that was about 2 yrs. old. I immediately ordered another unit as it kept my balls in bouncy condition. this could also be due to a leaky gasket. Call the co. & see if they've had other complaints. I use mine 7 days a week & love it. It's made in the USA.

I'm topping in at about 6 foot, 260 at the moment... and mine lasted exactly 1.8 seconds. For now it's back to an exercise ball, until I order another to try. Lucky, Amazon is good with returns as long as you do it fast.

Just bought a pair at a local sporting goods store. They're supposed to have bigger ball bearings (thus smoother rotation) and appear bigger than the original Perfect Pushups. Also they're manufactured by a different company, although both endorsed by the same creator, Alden Mills. Also they're about double the price. I would say they're worth it if you don't mind the price tag.

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 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.

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.

Hi, I only have experiencce with the "performance" model. Unfortunately I sold it six months later during a temporary money crunch. I can't advise you on your specific question, but I will say "Damn I wish I had it back!" It was effective in maintaining my form during a time I couldn't work out.

I have a 14-15# version, and like the others have stated, it's got very little bounce. It's great for resistance, and I've been doing floor slams with mine, and it's got only the slightest bounce. If you want bouncy, Valeo's basketball-style medicine balls are great. They have a good amount of bounce considering the weight.

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.

When exercising there may be some slipping due to perspiration ( sweating ) which could cause the body to glide along the surface of traditional stability balls. Fitter First PRO balls are texturized to minimize this slipping and in my gym I have had no problems whatsoever with slipping on the Fitter First balls. These are my exercise balls of choice for all my personal training sessions.

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

I can't really help you out since I have not used the evolution. I have examined both balls and I think the solution just looks like a richer ball, it also has a much better grip when its new. I assume this holds true as they both get older. I have seen some older evolutions and to me they look like a rubber streetball, whereas the solution still looks like a nice indoor ball.

This ball is better but no one ball is not durable like evolution ! I try so much ball but you must know something , if you want good ball with great grip and soft touch feeling , this ball is not durable for indoor play . The original NBA Spalding game ball is probably the best but it is not durable .

I'm not sure, I initially ordered a smaller version thinking it was the stability ball. If you want the large one like I did I'd order the Stability ball.

Yes, it's better than other stability balls because it has some sand or something in it so it doesn't roll around, it stays put if you're not putting any pressure on it. Only like 8 oz in it so you can still move it around. It's great quality
