I made the mistake of ignoring everyone saying that the ball is too soft. For my recovery, I actually wanted a ball that was quite soft. I have the MB1 as well, but wanted something a bit softer to warm up with before switching to the MB1. Given the fact that I was looking for a softer ball, here is my problem with this. First, I find the form a bit misleading. I've been using the orange grid foam roller for years. That thing rocks. So I was expecting this ball to perform similarly, with a structured center, but a bit of give on the outside. That would be awesome. However, this thing seems like it used the same orange foam as the roller but has effectively no structural core within. You can feel that there is some sort of core, it's not just the orange foam, but effectively the core does nothing. Under any weight at all, the ball deforms and stops being a ball. It no longer rolls, flattens out, and distributes the force differently than a ball would. Now, I'm not one to give a poor review because the product didn't meet my needs. My problem with this product is that I cannot imagine a use case due to it's lack of structure. You might be able to roll your forearms out without deforming it, and that's being generous. If this product was just for somebody else, I'd move along and forego the poor review. But my opinion is not that this product just wasn't for me but rather that it's just a bad product. I would not recommend unless you are extremely sensitive to pressure or something.
