Una esfera venia despostillada :(

My son wanted some fidget cubes (like these gadget kids need more distractions?) so I started looking at those then I am getting Fidget spinners and looking at other ADHD toys and stress relievers and I see the Baoding balls. I saw these years back when I was in Asia and wanted some but then forgot and never purchased. So I looked over several on Amazon thinking I needed the 2 inch ones as I have large hands and looked over may sellers for one with free shipping and then I purchase these then see they are the 1.5 inch in the description after I made the order. So I do not bother trying to cancel as if they are too small I have children right? Well they came in and they are a perfect size for my hand to be able to easily rotate them around in my palm and get the chime. Have a great weight and a high quality polished chrome finish as well. So I am glad I got the 1.5 inch ones and now I have no idea who is getting all these 2 inch ones? How they use them? Basketball players? lol. Anyways, I watched a video on Youtube and they cut them open. Interesting stuff. What's inside Chinese Baoding Balls? Watch it and find out.

I ordered this as a gift for my son. What a disappointment. The package came crushed and taped together. The sender couldn't be bothered to have packed them such that the fragile (and very cheap) boxes the balls come in would not be crushed. They were sent in a flimsy mailer with not ever so much as some bubble wrap. Furthermore, as another unhappy customer has noted, the balls are scuffed and pitted with rust in places. And further still, the thing that I love about these balls is the nice, soft dong song they make while you rotate them in your hand. These balls, however, hardly make any sound. They're hardly fit to be described as ding dong bells! Maybe my humor will give them a little saving grace but don't be fooled. If nothing else, at least the sender could have made sure the boxes would hold up in the mail. The product cannot be returned. It's too bad that we live in such an indifferent world.

I have been using "Baoding Ball" for (30) years. I have (3) sets of (2) inch balls. Since that time, I have learned a few things about "Baoding Ball". They are constructed by welding a small flattened wire ring to the interior surface of one half of a thick hollow metal sphere. A glass marble is inserted and the two halves of the sphere are welded together, smoothed out and metal plated. I deducted (2) stars from this smaller (1.5) inche set of balls for the following reasons. 1. They are extremely lightweight. It's the weight of the balls moving as you manipulate them in your hand that provides the exercise that improves your dexterity. The weight of the balls moving around each other in your hand is also very soothing. Their lack of weight interferes with your sense of proprioception. 2. Traditionally, the smooth surface of "Baoding Balls" rubbing against each other is imperceptible. Only the soft chiming sound of the interior metal ring and the marble are noticed. These balls produce a grinding sound as they roll against each other. I don't know if it's the exterior metal coating or if it's the thinness of the sphere wall.
