Review: Now this item was probably designed as a quality swiss ball. If you go online and search youtube, you see some blokes on their knees or even standing on these balls doing exercises. They're great for improving balance and core stability! They are very well made. Most cheap balls will split if they burst. This means all the air will come out rapidly and if you're sitting on the ball, your bottom is going to meet the floor very quickly! These balls don't split. A guy on youtube demonstrates stabbing one with a screwdriver, it goes down slowly. It doesn't rip or tear! Now I do use the cheap balls for sprawling and balancing, but my gym floor is 16mm rubber with 20mm foam on top. I don't mind landing on my bum or face, but, I got this ball for a different purpose! I have filled it with 30kgs of water and use it for odd object lifting. I run with it, I change direction quickly, I throw it, I drop it, I bounce off it, I hit it with foam kali sticks!!! So far it's given me 120hrs of entertainment and it feels like it will last a lifetime! I think something sharp could puncture it, but we're entering nail territory rather then a small stone pinching it! I've seen guys hurling these as water balls outside (on grass) and I've not seen one burst yet! Not something I'd try myself btw, as they're a bit more expensive to replace (get a tyre for hurling). Summary: Excellent ball, if you sit/stand on your ball with equipment or want to fill it with water, this is the ball for you!

Review: The ball is to soft, it should be made from some stronger material so it doesn't sink so much when you sit on it.
