Why train with a weighted ball?
A heavier ball makes your wrists and forearms work harder, which builds strength for drag flicks, hits and long passes. When you go back to a regulation 156–163 g ball, it feels lighter and faster.
Using them safely
Start with short sessions and good technique. Weighted balls are for drills, not matches.
