A hundred and forty-four grams
The only published mass in this family, and it does more work than it looks
like.
A 6 cm sphere weighing 144 g is solid rubber. There is no other way to get that
density into that volume. The cork ball on this shelf is a fraction of it; the
EPP balls less again.
And density is exactly what this category is about. Body weight pressed onto a
small contact patch has to be transmitted through the ball — a dense one passes
it all through, a light one absorbs some by deforming.
One ball on this shelf advertises the opposite: it changes shape under
pressure, deliberately.
“Without losing hardness over time”
The differentiating claim, and it names a real failure.
Rubber softens. Cheap massage balls go soft with use and warmth until they no
longer do anything, and the owner assumes their tolerance improved.
No figure supports the claim — no durometer reading, no period, no test.
Reported as the maker published it.
Eight seconds to one minute
The only treatment duration published on this shelf.
It is worth having because the instinct with a painful point is either to touch
it for two seconds or to grind it for five minutes, and both are wrong.
This is the maker’s recommendation, reported as such. This site gives no
treatment advice and makes no therapeutic claim about any product in this
family.
