UPC: 040232158728 Review: This has turned out to be a really great purchase. I had used one in my weekly Pilates classes and felt that it would be good for my daily morning stretches at home. It's a great first activity to do, to decompress your spine and do some slow stretches with it under your pelvis. The ball comes with a little straw to blow it up but you really don't need it; you can blow it up by mouth directly. It's convenient enough to take along when traveling... just deflate, pack it flat into a suitcase, and inflate again. It's roughly 6" in diameter and about 22" in circumference when blown up with a bit of "give." Good quality. Initially it felt a little sticky to the touch but that vanished within a couple of days. Edit: July 2017. The ball has finally started to lose air to the point where I have to blow more air into it every week or 10 days. The pin is really falling apart and it's very difficult to take it out. So I got myself a new one -- same product. Review: Nice ball, very very difficult to inflate and with the β€˜straw’! Overall, a kids play ball from the supermarket works just as well , and less expensive, without having to inflate and try to seal this one. ## Features - Inflatable soft exercise ball - Latex and phthalate free - Designed for use with Franklin Method exercises - Ideal for Pilates and core strength movements - 9 " diameter ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002YQSYNS | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Ball Type | Fitness ball | | Best Sellers Rank | #82,134 in Sporting Goods ( See Top 100 in Sporting Goods ) #278 in Exercise Balls | | Brand Name | OPTP | | Color | Blue | | Construction Type | inflatable | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (77) | | Item Diameter | 9 Inches | | Item Weight | 45 g | | Manufacturer | OPTP | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_LE9004 | | Material Type | Rubber | | Model Number | BD10895 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Size | 9 inches | | Sport Type | Exercise & Fitness | | UPC | 040232158728 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Kid - **Brand:** OPTP - **Colour:** Blue - **Item weight:** 45 g - **Material:** Rubber ## Images ![OPTP Franklin Air Ball - 9" Exercise Ball for Pilates & Core Strength - 1 Set, 1 Piece, Blue, PVC, Inflatable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wsl+tNEmL.jpg) ![OPTP Franklin Air Ball - 9" Exercise Ball for Pilates & Core Strength - 1 Set, 1 Piece, Blue, PVC, Inflatable - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WUq1-FQjL.jpg) ![OPTP Franklin Air Ball - 9" Exercise Ball for Pilates & Core Strength - 1 Set, 1 Piece, Blue, PVC, Inflatable - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RkVhheLWL.jpg) ![OPTP Franklin Air Ball - 9" Exercise Ball for Pilates & Core Strength - 1 Set, 1 Piece, Blue, PVC, Inflatable - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EYbyc4VuL.jpg) ![OPTP Franklin Air Ball - 9" Exercise Ball for Pilates & Core Strength - 1 Set, 1 Piece, Blue, PVC, Inflatable - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EZaErUjlL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the diameter of this ball?** A: The diameter is about 6 inches.
