Depends what you want to do with it.  That description says that ball is designed to bounce; does that fit with what you will use it for?

I wanted a 20lb med ball just for doing wallballs and didn't want to pay too much for something I'd only be using a couple of times a month.  I got a 20lb everlast delivered for about $50.

I made a 20#er out of a cheap basketball from Walmart and sand from Lowe's and Gorilla Tape. 9 bucks and it has held up for 2.5 years of hard use.

Dynamax is high quality but youre looking at $100.

I bought one thinking I would use it more, but I dont use it that often. Not an essential gym item. Mostly for wall balls.

Thanks for all the replies..Actually just picked up a 14 lb Dynamax...

As for usage, I plan on using it for core exercises and balance exercises...been using one in some workout sessions i do with others and it seemed like a good way to add something different to a routine.

I know you didn't mention it, but I would highly suggest picking up a slamball too.

I have a few, but the only one I really use is this...

the 20 lbs ball is $29.99, (it's usually always on sale) and it's good quality.

I got a 20lb with handles back when I was throwing a lot.

It opens up what you can do with it, swing, throw, kettlebell type exercises, etc..

I have one of these for wallballs.  It does the job at a fraction of the price for a dynamax.   Another alternative is to get a slamball and use it for wallballs, slamballs, and other medball movements.
