The shape of the 4.5” Large Balls Rock Climbing Holds makes these perfect to give you a forearm burning workout. There are not many training aids on the market that allow you to train "around" a hand injury, but the Hanging Balls do. What you can expect to do on the Balls are lock-offs, typewriters, pull-ups, dead hang, and most importantly the ever so important core strength workouts you need to have to climb efficiently on steep walls.
With their open hand concept design, all of your hand tendons lay ergonomically around the ball allowing you to continue to stay on top of your core and upper body strength; injured or not. Never surrender! Since you can rotate the Balls while on them, you can switch from pull up to chin up, to biceps pull up all in one set.
The diameter of each Extra Large Ball is 4.5 inches in diameter which is the size of a really big grapefruit or the mid-section of a football. The eye bolt measures 5/16" and will accommodate a climbing-rated carabiner, quick link, 6mm static cord, and/or chain. The chain works the best to extend the Balls to the exact height you want them to hang. Looped and sewn webbing is the second-best option.
The XL Balls are sold as a set of 2.
Lifetime Warranty Guaranteed on all climbing holds.
The static cord is a cost-effective alternative but it poses the challenge of getting the holds to hang even. You can also use quickdraws. Common places to hang the bombs are pull-up bars, rafters, doorways, and of course, everywhere you would think of putting up a hang board. They also are very cool to set boulder problems with! Production Note: Each Atomik Hanging Ball has a horizontal seam from the manufacturing process, which does not compromise the quality of this product and will not interfere with your workout experience.
