Price: $80 - $165
 
The Dynamax medicine balls were one of the first medicine balls to think about how they behaved when thrown at high velocity. The design has often been copied by other vendors but Dynamax still has this extra edge about the finish and stitches as this is what they do best. If you like the design and you are willing to pay a little extra, these are the medicine balls for you. Dynamax medicine balls are available in the following sizes:
 
  • 4lb
  • 6lb
  • 8lb
  • 10lb
  • 12lb
  • 14lb
  • 16lb
  • 20lb
  • 25lb
  • 30lb
If you do boxing training and abuse the hell out of your medicine balls, this is probably the one to get.

Cons of the Dynamax medicine balls

 
  • Price
  • Bounce back 
Compared to other Medicine balls you can get the Dynamax medicine balls are at the higher end of the market. Especially if you want to buy in bulk for gyms where you know that the equipment will not be treated well, this might be throwing money out of the window. Compared to slam balls they are also more expensive and might put one or two noses out of joint, if not used carefully. 
 
 

Alternatives to the Dynamax Medicine balls

 
Alternatives to the Dynamax medicine balls are:
 
The Rogue Standard medicine balls are very similar, if not identical in the make of a Dynamax ball. The only difference is the standard black color and a different technique to sew the ball together and pad it out. If you want to provide good equipment, but also know it will be abused, save a few dollars, and get a lot of standard rogue balls. 
 
The Rogue rubber medicine balls are a great value for money option if grp is not as much of concern. The leather of good medicine balls emulates punching or touching a boxer or other athlete. If that is not needed for your training purposes a rubber ball can be of a lot less maintenance and cost. The only drawback is that these balls almost bounce too weel for the intended training purpose. 
 
If all you do is slam your balls into the ground than you can save yourself money and hassle with slam balls, These will not bounce back from the ground and hurt you or your clients while also coming in at a lower cost than regular medicine balls.
 
 

Conclusion for the Dynamax medicine balls
