Choosing your Baoding / Chinese therapy balls

Just a few tips for questions I've gotten about selecting the right size ball for beginners. These balls are said to increase the flow of qi energy to the body and organs. They increase blood flow and help with finger strength and dexterity. When using them properly, the muscles in the fingers, wrist and forearm all work together in harmony. The larger contact balls and exerballs shown are all from Dube.com with the exception of the glass balls, which were purchased at a flea market. The glass balls and exerballs all weigh about 2lbs each.

[Thisnomyp]

@damienkilcannonvryce Awesome! I started back in 1998 with just the left hand, to help finger independence and strength for guitar. I only started using them for my right hand about 3 or 4 years ago.

Where is the best place to buy them??? Online?? Or are there really any stores that have them?? Ps..Thanks for the Video Good stuff

[Thisnomyp]

@Strikeratj Thanks for the comment. I find mine at places that sell asian decorating stuff or martial arts stores. Or flea markets and Chinatown in NYC. There are a lot of places online to find them (like Baoding balls dot com) also, but I personally prefer to handle them and see how they sound before buying them.
