Cement Is Not Enough!

[ruffhans]

well i took some advice and finaly found some wiffle balls at a sporting good store. i went to the hardwere store and bought some sacreat/concreet tipe stuff that you just add water too. i cut a whole in the wiffle balls and filled them. they are the same size as softballs. but, they are realy light in wieght! i should have got steel shot like they said!

anyother ideas for cheap wight to add, im trying to make my own heavy dexterity balls. i think i will just have to but shotputs.

You can call scrap yards and ask if they have any heavy ball bearings, if they are knollegable about their yard they might know where to locate some.

They wont be huge of course.

A pretty cheap alternative that works great is to buy shot put from a used sporting goods store. I bought 2 6lbs shots from our local play-it-again store for $13.

#7 chilled lead shot... you can find it at any decent gun store; usually sold in 20-25 pound bags.

well i did a half hour work out with the wiffle balls filled with cement. they are a good challange. but i do want to go heavy'r. all of your advice is very helpfull. thank you so much. i will let you know how i make out. the whole idea was to spend as lill $ as possible,...but i see that i mite aswell just buy some shots. also i will need your prayers,.............coming back on here reading so much talk about grippers is giving me the gripper cravings! a voice in my head is saying " come on dave tell your wife you need a 100$ to by a set of cocs agian" im doing my best to ignore it. i just remember what it was like getting that #3 halfway, having pains and strains in my hands, soaking them in hot water and everything else that goes along with those damm grippers!

2nd the tire weights. Go to a tire store and ask for old ones. Expain what your going to do with them and they might not charge you. I've used them to add weight to medicine balls and clubbell substitutes. Tell them what your using them for, or they might think your going to sell the lead for weight and charge your or not let you have any....
