gerryg Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I bought a IM Snowball less than a year ago and I keep it in my home with all my grip tools.I picked it up last night and it was all sticky and felt like the first rubber layer melted!Any one else have this problem?IMO the snowball is a waste of money!

SqeezeMasterFlash Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I got a nice squishy ball from WalMart for about $2 2 years ago and it's still doing fine. I never tried the snowball, but in the IM catalog it says it won't last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zevich Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 The one I had I wore off the covering in the first week. Baloons layered with hard beans as a center last for years. Baloons and beans are cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerryg Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 I took two black layers off and it is not sticky anymore and now red!Does anyone know how many layers of rubber are on the snowball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik_F Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I agree, just not worth the money. Ironmind sells many such overpriced items IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghd56 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 A similiar product is made by Shomer-Tec and the're known as blue balls. They're half the price of the IM version and come in three different strengths. Check out their website thru any search engine. They have some interesting products.
