Reaction Ball

Product introduction

A reaction ball is a training device used to improve reaction time and agility in a number of sports. The ball itself is not shaped like a sphere, but rather like a number of spheres melted together. Usually the ball is made of rubber that bounces well on hard surfaces and is colored brightly to allow practicing athletes to see the ball easily. Athletes use this ball during training by bouncing it and attempting to catch it, which is difficult because the ball bounces unpredictably and quickly. Many different sports require agility, hand-eye coordination, and fast reaction times, so a reaction ball is a very popular training tool.

Sometimes called a reflex ball, a reaction ball works because of its shape. The many different sides of the ball cause it to bounce in a way that athletes do not have the ability to predict. Of course, the ball is not actually bouncing randomly but in accordance with physics. For training, the only important feature is that the athletes themselves cannot determine which direction the ball will bounce. As such, it does not matter what precise configuration is used when designing the ball.
