Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What's the difference between a slam ball and a medicine ball?

A slam ball is specifically engineered with a long-lasting, sand‑filled core and a no‑bounce design, so it stays put after high‑impact throws, making it ideal for explosive movements like overhead slams. A medicine ball, by contrast, is often softer or leather‑covered and may have a slight bounce, which is better suited for partnered throws, chest passes and controlled core exercises.

What are treaded slam balls and why does the textured surface matter?

Treaded slam balls feature a tyre‑tread pattern on their PVC or rubber exterior, which provides an exceptionally locked-in, non‑slip grip even during the sweatiest, most intense training sessions. This treaded texture prevents the ball from slipping out of your hands, giving you full control during dynamic slams, rotational throws and weighted carries.

What weight slam ball should I buy as a beginner in the UK?

For beginners, a 3kg or 4kg slam ball is the perfect starting point, allowing you to master proper slamming technique and develop explosive power without risking injury. As you build strength and coordination, you can graduate to heavier options such as 6kg, 9kg or 12kg, which are excellent for progressive overload and high‑intensity functional conditioning.
