 A little difficult to fill initially, but very good overall Mar 09, 2011
By Beth Cholette
"doctor_beth"
I received this mini ball as a gift, and I have been using it for fitness, mainly with the workout Tracey Mallett-Pilates Super Sculpt. I also purchased a similar ball, 9" Body Back Ball & Pump, so I will be comparing the two balls in this review.
The Overball that I have looks just like the blue one pictured above. As you can see, the surface of the ball is covered with slightly raised dots; this improves the ball's gripping surface, making it easy for the Overball to stay in place under your back, behind your knee, etc. The Overball comes with a small, short plastic straw to inflate it and a small plastic pin to use once the ball is inflated. The ball fills up easily enough with the straw; I found that the inflation process took only a minute or so. The problem I had was when I went to insert the pin. The Overball does not retain air very well at all, so every time I tried to insert the pin, the ball deflated almost completely in the brief moments it took me to get the pin in place. I had to repeat the process several times; finally, I inflated the Overball way beyond the point where I wanted it to be, put the pin in as quickly as I could, and was satisfied with the results. I did not have this same problem when inflating my Body Back Ball (which comes with its own nice little hand pump); that ball definitely seemed to hold the air better to allow for pin placement.
In terms of actual performance, I have had no problems with the Overball. It does seem a little squishier than my Body Back Ball, but that might be because of the inflation issues--if you are looking for a firm ball, this is definitely NOT the right choice! But for use with Pilates and other core workouts, where a slightly deflated ball is desirable, the Overball works quite well, and I would recommend it overall.

 vendor not responsive Aug 14, 2011
By Bina Presser
[[ASIN:B002C9GORA Soft Gym Overball (Assorted Colors) # LE9505]
The overball arrived from the vendor within 2 or 3 days but the valve and pipe needed to inflate it were missing. The operator who took my complaint was very sympathetic but it took several weeks until the missing pieces arrived, meanwhile I wasn't able to use the ball. I don't think I'd order from this vendor again.
Also the review questions that Amazon want you to fill out are irrelevant to the category, it seems you must rate 1 - 5 star in order to submit the review so I did just to get this review out
