Why the coach picked it

  • $135 vs. $145 for the 20 lb ball, and Rogue's ball is on its free-shipping list. The Dynamax isn't, so expect to pay shipping on top.
  • On paper you give up nothing. Both are 14 inches across, come in the same 11 weights from 4 to 30 lb, are made in the USA, and carry a two-year warranty.
  • The gap grows as the balls get heavier: $140 vs. $175 at 25 lb, $150 vs. $190 at 30 lb. Buying a 14 and a 20 for you and a partner? $250 for the Rogue pair, $271 for Dynamax.
  • Rogue builds and stitches its balls in Columbus, Ohio, with double-stitched nylon seams on everything 14 lb and up. Those are the weights you'll throw at a wall a few hundred times a week.
  • Neither one is a slam ball. Both warranties are void if you slam them from overhead or bang them on rough concrete. Buy a slam ball for that and your wall ball lasts.

When the other one is the right call

Buy the Dynamax if your gym already runs Dynamax balls and you want your home ball to feel like the ones you train with, or you want the brand Rogue credits with the first ball padded enough to throw hard. You're paying about $10 more at 20 lb, plus shipping.
