Balance ball (70 cm):
These 70cm diameter balance balls are the most commonly used balls for initiation and show.
Be careful, smaller or lighter balls will move faster and will therefore be less accessible. For safety reasons and especially for use with beginners, it is better to opt for a 16 kg ball which will roll much less than a lighter ball.
NetJuggler's opinion:
Do not use without adult supervision. This item may be dangerous if not used with a minimum of basic safety precautions.
We have the possibility to order lighter balls (10 kg) that we strongly advise against for use as a balancing artist, but that we usually sell as a decorative object or seat... The price on this version is lower. Please contact us for more information.
Features of the balance ball:
- Weight: 16Kg.
- Diameter: 700 mm.
- Available in blue, red, green, yellow or fuchsia.
- Ideal for use with children and adults.
Painting a balance ball:
This is a question we are asked regularly. If you want to decorate your balance ball by painting it, it is entirely possible. The ball is made of polyethylene. Polyethylene is a material used in particular to make car bumpers, so it is possible to find paints in stores suitable for this material. The finish of the ball is shiny, so before painting you will need to flame the ball with a blowtorch so that the paint adheres to the surface.
For what type of practice?
Ideal for associations and schools.
The goal is to be able to stand on the ball without help. In order to achieve this goal, remember to take some precautions. Place the ball on gym mats (mats used in gymnastics or karate) and have two assistants who will hold it firmly (sitting on their knees on both sides of the ball). Take many small steps in order to keep your balance and be able to move around.
Learn how to do the balance ball:
We recommend the use of mats if you teach this discipline in circus initiation. We recommend the mats: Evolution 40 Cover Mat (Reinforced corners)
Balance ball and car tire:
If you are giving lessons to people who have never ridden a balance ball, the first uses can be done with the ball completely static. To do this, place the ball on a car tire. If this step interests you, you can very easily recover an old tire in any auto garage, generally with a cordial exchange, the mechanics are happy to offer you a tire at the end of its life. The circus is also the art of recycling!
The tire will also be useful for placing the balance ball on it to store it, this prevents it from rolling in all directions.

Is it possible to do balancing acts on large balls that inflate (like the ones you sit on or the ones for pregnant women)?
Hello, you indicate that to paint on a balance ball you have to flame the support with a blowtorch to make the surface sticky, can you obtain a sufficiently sticky surface by sanding the surface with emery cloth?
Also, do you know if the paint (on prepared support) has good wear resistance?
I have to paint a balance ball over its entire surface for a show, I don't know, given that the design on this ball is not in the mass of the material, if the paint will easily resist the different uses of the ball.
Does the paint withstand rolling the ball on different surfaces (dance mat, wooden floor, concrete floor, etc.)?
Do you have any information on this subject?
Thank you.
Do you have 1.20m balls?
To date, we only offer balance balls with a diameter of 70cm.
I have a knee problem and I love it, can I do it?
Ask your doctor, he will be able to advise you better than we can.
When using the ball, you take lots of small steps that don't require highly developed knee motor skills. However, getting on, off, or falling off the ball can be dangerous even with a well-functioning knee.
Hello, I would like to know if it damages the ball to make it in the grass?
No, it won't damage the ball... It might get a little dirty, however, depending on the condition of the lawn!
Do you have balls that are 1.20 meters in diameter?
It's 16 kg, it's portable, but is it hard to lift?
It's not the weight that makes these balls difficult to lift, but rather their size! Honestly, they lift quite easily, and then roll quite easily. The 70cm diameter means they fit through most doors, which are usually 80cm by default.
why is it so expensive
mold + manufacturing + storage + delivery + limited market and therefore limited production
I play boules on carpet, could I play it on grass???
Yes, it is entirely possible to do it on grass... But be careful, the flatter the ground, the better it rolls!
Why is the diameter of the balls 70 cm? Is a larger diameter better for adults?
THANKS
The 70cm diameter is ideal for everyone. A smaller ball is more difficult to use, it is less easy to find your balance on a smaller ball. A larger ball is more stable but requires more supervision than a 70cm ball, especially for beginners with children. Finally, a 70cm ball fits through most standard doors, which are generally 80cm wide! It is the ideal size for beginners with children and adults.
For me, using a balance ball with a diameter of 70 cm is much easier than using a lighter, smaller ball!
