YMX BOXING® Ultimate Reflex Ball Set with Counter App - 4 React Reflex Ball Plus 2 Adjustable Headband, Great for Reflex, Timing, Accuracy, Focus & Coordination Training for Boxing, MMA and Krav Mega

Okay, so I saw this YMX BOXING Reflex Ball set online and thought, "Hey, that looks like fun! And maybe I'll finally develop the hand-eye coordination of a slightly above-average squirrel!" What arrived was a reality check attached to an elastic string, connected to a headband that makes me look like I'm about to compete in a very aggressive game of headband tennis. The first few minutes were... humbling. The ball had a personal vendetta against my nose. It was less "boxing training" and more "me flailing wildly while a small foam sphere repeatedly assaults my face." My dog was concerned, my cat was utterly unimpressed (as usual), and I'm pretty sure my houseplants were silently judging me. I looked like a one-person circus act gone horribly wrong. BUT! And this is a big BUT. Something magical started to happen. After dodging approximately 73 face-shots, I actually started hitting the ball. Consistently! It felt like a major life achievement. Forget climbing Everest, I was conquering the bouncing menace! This little set is sneaky. You think you're just goofing around, looking ridiculous, but then suddenly your shoulders are burning, your reflexes are kicking in, and you're actually getting a decent cardio workout without even realizing it. It's the most fun I've had being terrible at something in a long time. The set comes with different balls for different skill levels. I started with the beginner ball, which I affectionately named "Pathetic Patty" because she was the only one I could reliably hit. I've since graduated to "Ambitious Annie," and while she still gets the better of me sometimes, the progress is real! Plus, you get two headbands, so you can look equally silly with a friend or significant other. Misery loves company, and apparently, so does looking like a boxing bobblehead. If you want a genuinely fun way to improve your reflexes, get a surprising workout, and provide endless entertainment for anyone watching, buy this. Just be prepared to laugh at yourself. A lot. It's a fantastic, hilarious, and surprisingly effective training tool. Five out of five slightly bruised but happy noses!

Very cool a lot of fun once you learn how to use it

Two nice headbands, 4 balls and extra string. 6 and 9 year old grandsons are having fun and parents too. I think this is a fun coordination and timing toy, we competed on how many times we could hit it. I bought one for hubby and me to play with too!

Great item the kids loved straight out of the box played with it for over two hours War themselves out. It’s great for eye hand coordination. Plus it’s soft so no getting hurt .

When you buy this, within the first 5 minutes you might think "Boy, is this one dumb product." You gotta give it up to whoever made this to be able to attract so many people. The thing is, people like novel things. The newer and more likely to be viral a product is, the more attention its going to get. Now this one is special because it suits not only that, but also suits the purpose of exercise, fitness, hand eye coordination which can be really important in boxing but also all other areas of life. After messing around with the length and how to hit it (using open palms instead of fists, and hitting it back and forth rather than trying to hit it forward), I believe that this has great benefit. I mean it does help you work up a sweat and is GREAT for cardio. However, it requires focus and patience to learn and hone. No matter how you spin it, its not a brilliant invention or anything of that sort. It's a very simple and cheap idea that can have HUGE benefit for FOCUS, Cardiovascular HEALTH, Hand Eye Coordination, and PATIENCE. This thing should be worth about 10 bucks though. It's definitely more value than a Fidget Spinner, but doesn't have the same viral appeal. I think its perfect for me, as I need to spend LESS TIME SITTING, as I work on the computer all day.

I’m using it for fun and to improve my hand eye coordination, works good for practicing some combos, or just whacking it over and over. Just be careful when it comes back because it has hit my nuts twice already

Because of COVID-19, I’ve been stuck at home doing no-equipment bodyweight exercises to stay in shape. I needed some variety in my home workouts so I purchased the YMX Boxing Reflex Ball Set. Since I’m a beginner, there’s no cardio benefit since I’m not moving around. Perhaps when I get more skilled, I’ll be able to move and hit the ball so there’s some cardio involved. There seems to be hundreds of different boxing reflex ball sets on Amazon and eBay, but the YMX offered the most for the same price as the others. Amazon’s 10% off coupon made it an even better price than the others. The YMX Boxing Reflex Ball Set came with two beginner balls and two advance balls with cords attached to each ball; two headbands; four extra cords; and a small carrying bag. For the price that most other vendors charge, the YMX is two complete sets for the price of one. I’ve only had the YMX Boxing Reflex Ball Set for a few days, but in those few days, I’ve found myself using it more and more. With consistent use, I’ve improved so that I can hit (tap) the ball repeatedly for 10-15 seconds. The one important thing is to NOT hit the the ball hard. Instead, use a light tap. You also have to keep your eyes on the ball at all times. It’s also easier to punch down on the ball instead of at shoulder or chest level. YouTube has many tutorial videos on using a boxing reflex ball. It looks easy on YouTube, but if you’re a new user, understand that there is a learning curve and you will struggle. For the price and the enjoyment factor, I give the YMX Boxing Reflex Set my wholehearted endorsement. ===== SIX MONTH UPDATE & A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE ADIDAS KNUCKLE PROTECTION ==== I’ve been using the YMX Boxing Ultimate Reflex Ball for the past six months. I use it almost daily for 15 minutes. Although the ball is soft, the constant and repetitive impact of the ball on the knuckles makes the knuckles sore. A box glove is too bulky and a hand wrap is too time consuming. I tried using a leather work glove and it worked fine except the elastic cord would sometimes snag on the velcro wrist cinch. Another downside is that the leather work glove is not designed to be worn as a closed fist so my fingers would splay out and the elastic cord would get caught between my fingers. The solution that I found is the “Adidas Knuckle Protection Sleeve / Warp”. I wasn’t sure about the one-size fits all sizing, but I wear a medium glove and the Adidas fits perfectly. The pad thickness is perfect. I can still feel the reflex boxing ball hitting my knuckles, but the padding keeps the knuckles from getting sore. The design of the Adidas Knuckle Protection also makes it easier and more comfortable to maintain a closed fist for a long period of time. The “Adidas Knuckle Protection Sleeve / Warp” might not be suitable for punching a heavy bag, but if you need protection for light punching, this is perfect. The ease of putting it on and taking it off the hands is another advantage over boxing gloves and hand wraps.

Perfect.. item as described, give you plenty of extra accessories. Real Fun and great hand eye coordination. Don't give up, will happen before you know it.

El box se convirtió en uno de mis pasatiempos favoritos, tan pronto tuve dos sesiones en el gimnasio quedé enganchado completamente con el deporte. Pero después llegó la pandemia y el gimnasio al que asistía, como muchos otros, tuvo que cerrar. Yo seguía con mi rutina en casa, aunque algo limitado porque no cuento con el equipo necesario para entrenar de la manera adecuada. Entonces comencé a buscar algo que me ayudara a darle un plus a mi entrenamiento casero y me encontré con este producto y sin pensarlo mucho lo pedí. Debo decir que esta podría ser la mejor compra que he realizado, la calidad y el rango de acondicionamiento físico que te ofrece es muchísimo más de lo que podrías esperar. Llevo un mes utilizando el producto y no es nada aburrido, al contrario, mientras más lo uso mejor me vuelvo y más me divierto, y encima de esto estoy consiguiendo una condición increíble. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

Me parece un gran instrumento para trabajar la coordinación óculo-manual. Los materiales son de buena calidad. Por sus 2 cintas para la cabeza y su diferentes niveles, recomendado.

Well packed and very complete set including clear instructions. The finishing and quality are better than I expected and I’m happy to have bought this set instead of fiddling around with a generic band and an old tennis ball.

Excellent petit accessoire pour travailler ses réflexes aussi bien mains poings coudes et genoux suivant la longueur que l'on laisse à l'élastique. Dans une optique "boxe" pas évident au début d'avoir une bonne technique, il faut commencer de près d'abord pour s'habituer aux rebonds/retour et apprendre à gérer la direction de la balle en ligne droite. Pleins d'usages possibles, anti-stress pour penser à autre chose aussi !

壊れにくいし、しっかり顔めがけて飛んでくるので当て感と反射神経鍛えれます
