Description
Overview
The SMAI Slam Ball 2kg is a weighted ball designed to be thrown down hard and picked up again, not caught on the rebound. It does not bounce, so every slam finishes with a squat or hinge to retrieve it, which is what gives slam training its whole-body effect.
At 2 kg it is the entry point of the SMAI range and the one to choose for younger students, technique work and high-rep conditioning. It sits in our medicine balls category alongside the heavier slam balls and conventional rubber medicine balls.
Key benefits
- No bounce means no chasing the ball; the pick-up becomes part of the work.
- Light enough for juniors to learn slam technique before adding load.
- Made for high-impact use, so repeated hard slams are what it is for.
- Works more muscles per rep than a standard medicine ball throw.
- 12-month guarantee and quantity pricing for class sets.
Who it's for
Choose the 2 kg for younger students, beginners and high-repetition conditioning where technique matters more than load. Stronger senior students and club athletes should step up to the Slam Ball 3kg or Slam Ball 5kg.
If you want a traditional medicine ball for partner throws rather than slams, look at the Rubber Medicine Ball 3kg instead.
Care, safety and set-up
Wipe clean after use and store off the floor where it will not be trodden on. Supervise students slamming near others, and keep a clear zone around each ball. Orders generally dispatch the same or next business day.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Slam Ball 2kg bounce?
No. Slam balls are made not to bounce; the extra movement to pick it up is the point of the exercise.
Slam ball or medicine ball?
A slam ball is for throwing down hard; a traditional medicine ball is for throws and catches between partners. Many programmes use both.
Is it sold singly?
Yes, one ball per listing. Quantity pricing applies on many lines and you can ask for a quote for a class set.
