Big Medicine Ball

[Tingjid]

If anyone can help I would appreciate it, I searched on the forum and the internet and ebay but couldn't find anything so I figured I'd ask around here. I'm looking for a medicine ball like a foot or a foot and a half in diameter, that weighs upwards of 40 pounds preferably. If anyone knows of a place or method it would be mighty helpful Thanks...

Please pardon my ignorance, but does this have to do with traditional Chinese medicines? And, for the sake of debate, do they work?

Try these

but if you want a 18kg ball you may have to make one yourself.

Actually this is for Tai Chi, specifically, we're going to have a heavy round ball on a table and learn to redirect it and move it around, until we can do that without the table. Then we'll be able to block

Or at least that's how Grandmaster Sin explained it to us last Sunday. (I'm not dropping names nor am I trying to start a Shao-lin do debate, so I'm sorry, I just love that guy and I respect him so I take his advice seriously)

Anyway, that's the idea and thank you KA, but I don't think any of the big ones there will roll all that well, we're trying to figure out how to build one. The whole round thing is going to be the hardest , I'm a pretty handy guy but I haven't quite come up with anything yet(at least that will work), so any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Yeah that looks pretty good too, I actually ended up e-mailing the guy from http://www.d-ball.com/
and according to him, the 25 pounder they have will keep it's shape and bounce a little, so I would think that would mean it has the necessary firmness to roll well. I'll have to talk to my sifu and see which one he thinks would be best. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.
