Which one should you buy?

The Cortex Slam Ball V2 is our top pick for most Australian home gyms thanks to its grippy tyre tread shell, wide weight range and strong local support network. The Rage Fitness Slam Ball is the best value, adding an air valve so you can fine tune firmness without paying a premium. If you just want a cheap, honest no bounce ball to start with, the G5 HT SPORT Slam Ball is the budget pick at around $35.
