Side by Side Comparison of: AmazonBasics vs JFIT

Love this medicine ball. It bounces well and is textured for a great grip. I will be buying more sizes soon!

LOVE LOVE LOVE my medicine ball. This is a 12lb and made very well. I like this one because it has a bumby like outer cover and it won't slip out of your hands. It is weighted correctly and bounces well too. Not a whole lot to elaborate about with a ball so this review is short. GREAT PRICE, GREAT VALUE, GREAT PURCHASE!!!

I use this ball to do circuits and it is exactly what you want in a medicine ball, easy to grip and the weight is distributed evenly. It is of the same great quality as more expensive balls that I have seen and the price point is perfect. Have used it for a couple months and have no complaints!

I use this for myofacial release of my glutes, and lower legs. Great price for a medicine ball that is equal in every way to the high priced ones.

Perfect and Affordable. I actually use this also as a roller (like with foam rolling) for areas that need to roll in 2-axis instead of just back and forth (such as following the Sartorius muscle in the inner thigh). It is nice and firm in addition to having the weight (not like the sand balls).

This ball is excellent for working out, strength training and much more.

This weighted ball is perfect for home workouts! Very happy with my purchase.

I am pretty sure this was 15.0000000001 pounds. Pretty upset about it.

Love the heavy Ball! Getting anything Lighter May have been a waste. Good For Many alone and Competitive Activity!

Love working out using this medicine ball. Works great and is a nice piece to add to my workout collection in my office.

Looks great, and handles just like the Dynamax. Haven't had it for long, or dropped it a bunch, so can't comment on durability/longevity but for the price it could be pretty ineffective and still be worth it. From the feeling of the material and stitching though I think it will hold up well.

Works as expected.

Decent quality medicine ball!

Got exactly what I was looking for.

Its a nice medicine ball, very hard though I expected a bit of give to it like my gym has but its still nice

Not bad. Wish it had a little more 'give' in the surface but otherwise not complaints.

I like it.

Very nice it reminds me of the balls ive used at the gym I used to belong to a couple years ago.

I like this ball and it's really pretty, but it's kind of huge. I guess I didn't read or look for dimensions when I ordered it, assuming it would be like every other medicine ball I've seen; about the size of a basketball. More like a beach ball.... It's good though.

Very nice!!

The Ball is great but... I purchased it September 30, 2016. I work in a gym with a normal floor and my ball is busted, stuffing coming out of the seams now March 17, 2017 after not that much use. I thought it would last longer than that.

Works same as expensive rogue ones, no problems as of yet

When it arrived it just seemed a little big. It's bigger than the ones I'm used to. BUT while contemplating the use of the ball I realized something, with the ball as big as it is it almost makes you have to use both arms so you don't try to just hold it with one hand and I think it will help a bit with strengthening the grip with your fingers extended for some of the moves we do. I have the 15lb ball but I think a bit later I'll order possibly a 10lb and maybe a 25 or 30lb ball. You'd be surprised how much 15lbs can feel with some moves! So yeah I'm liking the ball the more I see it. It seems balanced and should last a while.

good overall ball

Does the job but doesn't look good after few uses. I use it on a cement floor, maybe on carpet it will not deteriorate as much

Good product. I abused it for about a week then it had it's revenge on my fused lumbar spine. Had to lay off it. I do wonder how long it could take it, had I been able to continue? Daily use, or even every other day, I'm not so sure...If I get back (ha) to where I feel up to using it again, I may update and change my review accordingly.

I should have thought this through, but I never use it because I don't know what to do with it. I keep spacing off getting online and looking for stuff, but it would've been great if it came with a little pamphlet with some moves you can do with this.

This med ball is fine for regular weight exercises but it's really too bouncy for slam balls or wall balls.

I just got this and am going to return it. The ball bounces too high for the exercise I want to do. When dropped from 6', it rebounds 2' to 3'. I'd say the bounce is about 40% of the drop. For the slamming exercise I learned, I need a ball that bounces less than a foot when thrown down vertically. (Or I risk a broken nose.). The ball looks well made. It only stinks of vinyl, it doesn't reek, which is about as good as you can expect from new equipment. If you want a ball that bounces, you should give this one a try.

Seams have already busted. Hasn't been adused much and already need to order a new one

The ball in itself is great the only problem is the stitching. After a few times (5-6 times) of use the stitching has started to come off. Unfortunately I'm not able to exchange it any longer because I bought it in January and barely got around to use it until now. I wish there was a way to exchange it for a new ball but amazon doesn't give me an option to contact seller.

Worked well for about 3 months of slamming. The case burst afterwards and lasted about another month and a half with duct tape. For the price it was could not complain.

I purchased 3 8lb and 3 6lb balls for wall throws and left them at the gym I train at. 1 of these split within 2 weeks but I did not see how it was used to do so. The other ones are holding up and I taped up the spilt one. At least the stuffing is cotton and does not come flying out. For the price I would say they are good but they are not a high end ball as the price indicates.

My husband bought this for me for Christmas. I have to admit, I haven't used it much, but so far it seems durable. I would recommend it for home/personal use, not sure about studio use. I only gave it 3 stars because I haven't used it that much and not 100% sure how it will stand up. I will update if needed.

I run a small X-Fit operation in Ohio. I bought this ball to save some money. About a month after purchasing the ball, the seam started to open up. This ball may be OK for personal use, just not commercial. I called Amazon about the problem and they sent me a new one. So far the new one is holding up great.

It ripped open after about 6months. Completely split in half

This ball did not preform as effectively as we thought it would. It split after using it for 3 months. It has a great feel and seemed great but it isn't quality enough for gym use. The price was great but sadly its not in use now.

It was perfect thank you

This ball bounces where as it should be weighted when dropped.

Little to no grip, very easy to drop especially when workouts get sweaty. Impossible to throw and catch.

We are a USA Swimming Team that uses medicine balls 4-6 times a week with our age group development squads. My experience as a coach has included a number of Olympic Games. We received 2 of these medicine balls less than one month ago and one is already cracked from performing sit up ball throws against a school, gym wall. Disappointed in the quality.Mark TempleOlympic Coach

The ball ripped on the seems. Poor quality

Bought a 20 and 25lbs ball. The 20lbs ripped with 3 weeks. The 25lbs has dirt coming out each time. We use in small private studio. Don't know where the dirt came from. Don't recommend.

This is a 25-pound medicine ball. You get what you pay for, and it is made very well. With that being said, however, is wasn't exactly what I was looking for. What prompted me to buy the j/fit Medicine Ball is its weight; at the time I couldn't find a normal medicine ball that weighed 25 pounds. By normal, I mean one that feels like a basketball.The j/fit Medicine Ball does the job, however I'm just not impressed with how it feels. It is soft, which makes it difficult to hold onto. Since purchasing the j/fit Medicine Ball, I discoverer the Waccess medicine ball line-up, which is more what I consider a normal medicine ball, which comes in a 25 pound size. Therefore, if you're looking for a soft medicine ball, than the j/fit Medicine ball could be just right; on the other hand, you may just want to keep on looking.

Not a great wallball. First, it was off gassing some toxic fumes and SMELLED HORRIBLE for days when it arrived, I had to leave it outside on the porch. It's also slightly lopsided, had to bang it around on the floor for a while to get it straightened out. It will work, but I wish I had purchased a different brand.

Ripped open after 2 months of use

I own a Crossfit gym and I was going to try one of these out to see if it's worth the lower price. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra $ for a Dynamax. This thing busted at the seams in about two weeks of low to moderate use. It was never "slammed", however, it was used for wall ball shots and was dropped from 10' multiple times. So if your easy on it, you might be ok.

I was hoping to be able to do ball slams with this medicine ball, but on my fifth session of ball slams, this ball just about split in two. This may just be an anomoly though, because this ball never felt exactly right. It often times bounced to the side rather than straight up, and rolled to a particular side of the ball. I would be willing to try another one.

Had ball for 6 weeks and it ripped open. My high school son uses it 3 times a week to work out, and it didn't take long to rip. Horrible quality.

This thing is terrible as soon as we got it we started to use it and it cracked not sure what's wrong with you but is not very durable.

I bought what was supposed to be a brand new ball. What I received was a ball that was all scuffed and scraped. It looked used.

Received the wrong size.....

The 12 pound ball split in less than 1 month of use. I used it for vertical slam exercises only three times! Not for heavy duty impact.

Don't do it... pay the extra money for dynamax

I returned one ball because the fabric tore randomly. I now have two others with the same issue but the return window has closed. There are 1.5 months old.

Way too big for the weight.

Both 25 pound balls ripped.

Weight says on one side should've gotten a better one

I bought 20's and 30's and they have busted! Not a good product and they don't seem to value their product enough to replace them... I paid for med ball covers through Rogue so that I can still use them.
