    I've recently added slam exercises to my workout routines but was unsure of the difference between soft shell and the smaller denser balls in my gym. Your video did an excellent job of explaining the differences between the two. Thank you for the great video. For what its worth, I prefer the Medicine Ball overall. You just can't beat the bounce when it comes to finding a rhythm in your slams.

    Especially if you’re at the gym and you dont have to pay to replace the soft shell if it busts!

    Hey, nice video. My kids play baseball/softball, and I've been trying to figure out which ones I should get 1st. What do you think?

    I would def go with a soft-shell medicine ball for rotational sports. Way more versatility.

    Depends on exactly what you want to do. I would say a 30 is a pretty good weight thats difficult but not so much so that you have to start ruling out movements

    I think you could go either way. A slam ball will have the advantage of being smaller in diameter so it will be easier to hold and manuever. But a med ball is going to give you additional versatility.

    Is there a big difference in 20lb / 30 lb

    I guess it depends on what you’re using the ball for. Some exercises maybe not much, some exercises it would make a huge difference.
