Slam, wall or bounce — three balls under one name · review
A rubber medicine ball rather than a slam ball: made to hold its shape through throws and impacts, with a textured rubber surface.
The bottom line A rubber medicine ball on a shelf of slam balls, and it should be read as one. Dimensional stability under throws is the rubber priority — a predictable catch rather than an absorbed impact — and it is what suits the partner and rehabilitation work the maker names. No diameter, and the rebound is described rather than stated.
A rubber medicine ball, not a slam ball.
Two of the nine balls in this family are PVC shells over sand, made to land and stop. This one is rubber, made to keep its shape and return energy.
They are not interchangeable and the difference decides what each is for.
A ball that deforms catches differently every time.
For partner throws — where two people are timing a catch — and for rehabilitation work, a predictable shape is what makes the exercise repeatable. The soft, yielding construction the Sport-Tec in this family describes is the opposite priority, deliberately.
The maker calls the ball resilient and dimensionally stable and does not say whether it bounces.
Rubber medicine balls as a format do. The Bad Company elsewhere in this family states it directly — the ball returns off the floor. This page reports what this maker wrote rather than transferring a competitor’s claim.
The diameter, so how a 2 kg rubber ball sits in the hands compared with a 2 kg sand ball is unknown.
Only two listings in this family give one.
From 28 € to 34 € across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores, on the one reading this page rests on.
The British Amazon store carries it too, priced in local currency — which the euro range above leaves out on purpose.
The American Amazon catalogue lists the reference with nobody selling behind it.

No — it is a rubber medicine ball. Rubber holds its shape and returns energy; a sand-filled slam ball absorbs it. The maker describes this one as dimensionally stable under throws and impacts, which is the rubber behaviour rather than the slam behaviour.
Because a ball that deforms is a ball that catches differently each time. For partner throws and rehabilitation work — both named by the maker — a predictable shape is the point, and it is the opposite priority from a slam ball.
The maker withholds it as a property. Rubber medicine balls as a format do rebound, and the Bad Company elsewhere in this family says so explicitly. This page reports the description given and records that the behaviour is not stated.

4 kg, PVC with sand-filled core, no rebound
A slam ball, and the maker says so: a sand-filled PVC shell that absorbs impact and is stated to prevent unwanted bouncing.
Best for: Slams and throws, where a ball coming back is exactly what is not wanted
5 kg, hand-finished cowhide, shredded EVA filling
A cowhide medicine ball finished by hand in Germany, filled with shredded and pressed EVA — the only leather ball on this shelf.
Best for: A room where the equipment is looked at as well as used
6 kg, double handles, solid rubber core, rebounds
The only ball here with handles — a double grip — on a solid rubber core that the maker states bounces back off the floor.
Best for: Swings and rotational work where a grip is wanted rather than a cradle
