Making your own reflex ball is so simple. After you get a tennis ball, elastic cord, a screw and a hat it only takes 5 minutes to put together. My last reflex ball lasted for over 2 years before it got too worn out to use.

@bane349 3 года назад

good idea, but you might consider making a small hole on one side and a larger hole (or cross shape) in the back. then thread the end of the cord through both holes and tie a knot small enough to pass through the big hole while still large enough to stop at the small hole. then the knot will be hidden inside the ball and you have no chance of ever poking yourself with a screw. :)

@GabrielVargaOfficial 3 года назад

Ooo. Maybe I'll try that with my next reflex ball.

@thecatadors911 3 года назад

I said 2 holes at the top and make a fishing knot above the ball, but this works too!

@brianmurphy6760 Год назад

Thanks for this tutorial. I just made one exactly like this using your instructions. It works great, and not only cheaper than the kind you buy, it is superior quality, and more realistic, durable. Thanks again. also I am a fan of your fights. Please, keep up the good work. This is exactly what I needed.

Tanks Gabriel, I did mine following your instructions and it’s the best active pause I could have even during job time. I noticed I improved my reflexes and stopped blinking in sparring thanks to this simple and inexpensive but powerful training tool. thanks!

@henkeman300 Месяц назад

Thank you for this, awesome!

@thecatadors911 3 года назад

If u were to make 2 small holes in the top of the tennis ball (about 1/2” to 3/4” away from each other), then feed the string thru both of the holes and tie a simple fishing knot with both ends and cut the excess, that works very well. Everything else is great! The hat is such a good idea! But when i use my reflex balls with the headband, i undo my snapback and wear the headband with the string going thru the hole and re snap the snaps. That always worked really well for me

@fireeyes3493 2 года назад

@richardleston5237 Год назад

Hot glue the hole or secure it in some other way to ensure 100% that the screw is secured. You do not want the screw on the elsastic propelled back towards your face/eyes

@adams0020 3 года назад

Hey Gabriel, thanks voor the tutorial! I made my own a couple days ago and it's been fun, frustrating but you do learn quick. Quick question: the band youre using likes to keep its shape, e.g. it refuses to twist around itself too much. Mine gets twisted up super much and after a bit of time it creates a spinning effect on the ball, and I feel like that makes it harder to control. Does that matter and should I buy a better quality band or is it something I just need to get used to? Thanks in advance if you answer this.

@GabrielVargaOfficial 3 года назад

Mine does twist as well but if you can keep the ball going it seems to sort itself out. But after a 1-3 minute round I definitely have to untwist it.

@mustsilm 3 года назад

I have aditional question, if im still a beginner, surely i should wrap my hands or at least use like bicycle gloves or smth? Otherwise im going to hurt my knuckles and skin will start to peel off while i train.

@epr8974 3 года назад

On this thing? No. Tennis balls are pretty forgiving, even if you don't hit perfectly. They also don't weigh enough to really cause an impact that could possibly hurt your hands a those speeds. You also really don't hit a reflex ball hard, unless you want it to smack you.

@mustsilm 3 года назад

Actually i have some aditional questions, i actually bought this like headband setup from shop and it cost me 12 euros which is about 14 dollars. I bought it after christmas and i have been using it 2-3 times a week, there are 2 balls in this setup and one is beginner and one is advanced. I have been using the beginner and already feeling like improving, but two days ago while i was training, the ball actually bounced back and right into my eyeball. It hurt quite a bit and made me question the safety features of this kind of training. Obviously i could use some basic tool shop plastic glasses or swimming pool glasses. I was training outdoors so i was able to use snow at the time to reveal the pain. But what do you recommend. When i train i actually put a cap on so the headband is under the cap and wont come off then, but i was almost thinking if i should wear the cap that the brim visor stays in front and almost acts as a safety visor. I hope you understand. English isnt my native language.

@epr8974 3 года назад

That's part of the training. Just like with a speed bag, you can use this thing to train your guard, head movement and reflexes. A tennis ball to the eye sucks, but I had this happen to me while actually playing tennis and can still see just fine. The better you get at it, the fewer accidents like this will happen.

I wouldn't use a screw because there's the inherent risk of injuring yourself if you get stupid with it and squash it or fall on it or god knows what. Anything that can have the string tied around it and can get trapped inside the ball without disintegrating works.

@epr8974 5 месяцев назад

Little update: ended up using a flat tipped screw to calm my anxiety. Hasn't come out in almost two years. So you probably don't have to overthink things.

@michalviktorin6758 Год назад

I like DIY, but I bought it for such a small price I do not care, not price you mention at all. Also I do not want to wear hat while training and it comes with elastic headband which actually works nicely. I could make it, I have spare tennis balls at home for different gym DIY hack, but buying it really did not make regret my money spent. If you do not have a hat your cost actually will be higher than cost of my supercheap choice from China.
