 Great addition to your trainingOct 10, 2006
By Rocannon MacGregor
"zenfire"
These Everlast leather balls are good ones, sturdy and tough. There are several good books avaiible now on medicine ball training and you can search online for medicine ball workouts too. I have found that the 8-9 lbs. balls are a bit heavy for most of my female students that are new to medicine ball training. They do better with a 4-5 lbs. or 6-8 lbs ball. The 8-9 will suit most men of average strength. The 12 or the 15 lbs are about as big as you need to go for a superior workot as you progress. With these Everlast balls I carefully remove the synthetic name tag which makes for a more comfortable catching surface all the way around.

It is NOT genuine leatherMar 18, 2009
By carloz
First thing I noticed: the label is not the same as in this picture. The picture shows a tag that is sewn on. Mine is painted. It doesn't look fake, just different.
Second thing: the box this comes in says "synthetic leather for superior durability." I don't know that synthetic or genuine leather is more durable, but Amazon said it was genuine and the box says synthetic.
I wanted to know if this is a fake Everlast ball, not just a fake leather ball. If it is real Everlast and synthetic leather, I'm OK with that. But it is made in China and China imitates everything so I thought it might be fake Everlast. But a lot of legit stuff is also made in China, so that's a toss-up.
The Everlast webpage does not have a synthetic leather medicine ball. I called their customer number and a guy told me they USED to sell a synthetic leather ball, not anymore. He said Amazon did not buy this from Everlast, but it could be they got it from someone carrying around old Everlast inventory.
It appears it might be a real Everlast medicine ball, but just understand it is not the one in the picture and it is not genuine leather.
I gave it 3 stars because I ordered it Sunday night and received it Wednesday afternoon with the free super saver shipping. I hope it lasts...

Good for workoutsAug 17, 2006
By eoneill

As the other reviewer said, don't expect this to be perfectly round, if you want one of those get one that is balanced and not leather. I prefer this over the plastic or rubber because it doesn't slip when you are sweating. The only downfall I would note is the stitching is not leather, it is a rigid plastic. Not a big deal, but I have caught it just right before and it can scratch. Overall it is great for workouts and working muscles hard to get with typical free weights. Most places have this for much more money or really unreasonable shipping.

 Cant stand the heatSep 28, 2009

Dead in under 90 days. Tore apart at the seam. The leather is not even broken in yet. It has only been used the way a medicine ball is supposed to be used. Amazon says there is a 1 yr EVERLAST manufacturers warranty, we'll see what that means.

Split from normal useDec 19, 2011
By K. Brown
"brownkckc"
Look elsewhere for a medicine ball. I was using it to perform overhead slams and it split during the second set. This is a standard exercise with a medicine ball and was taught to me by a professional trainer. I had performed it hundreds of times with the medicine balls at the gym without incident.
