A note on the spray foam, after you finish with it if you take the straw off and clean it out with brake cleaner and clean the tip of the can as well, you can usually use it again later. Also, make sure you invert the can while you spray. Great vid btw
Best tutorial - nearly every other one was suggesting patches on all points - the expanding foam is definitely the best idea, glad I stumbled across this.
I want to make some these just wondering for the ones that you didn't fill all the way did the sand settle to the bottom? I'm worried I'll have a ball that's half sand and have foam and throw the balance off.
Just exactly what I thought, thanks for the video. Medicine balls are way expensive.. just got through looking some up, and thought , basket ball meet sand..
What was the foam that you used? Also, the hole that you did, is it thru to the inner membrane that holds the air? Or is it only puncturing the outer wall? Nice video btw, I like the fact that you used something to ensure stuff doesn't move around and the ball feels solid.
Similar to this stuff but wal-mart had some other brand. www.homedepot.com/p/GREAT-STUFF-16-oz-Gaps-and-Cracks-Insulating-Foam-Sealant-162848/100003351 It is through the inner membrane which is a bit of a pain in the ass, but its the only way to really fill the whole properly. Thanks! I used them pretty much every week with my kids and little league team. Still holding up.

Time is money. Work harder and buy a proper medicine ball. Play it again sports usually has deals. Spend half the time looking for deals than making something that could fail. Again time is money. Food for thought.
not gonna lie. when i started watching, i was thinking: holy crap this is gonna be long. then as i watched, i understood why. it was well paced.
Llynze I really tried to shorten it too. But everything was vital for you to do it right. lol :)
Cherokee Hacks Life yes. for sure
That foam idea is ingenious
Nice work
Thanks Brandon Campbell !
Thanks for the spray foam idea. Never thought of that. Well done!
Yes sir. I’m 5 years late but this was what the doctor ordered

Foam's a great idea. Drives me crazy when I think the ball is full & I use it & find out it's not!
Just exactly what I thought, thanks for the video.

Thanks for the idea, bro!!! Awesome video.
The sand I purchased is sticky take lots of time to get through the small hold, I am planning to cut it larger tomorrow. Foam already purchased.
good job dude.
Thanks for the assist.
Great video ! For the issue on the really old ball....would that make sense to wrap them with duct tape at the end ?
Foam was a great idea, thanks bra
Great video
After using the balls for awhile, have you notice the foam breaking down inside from impacts?
Nathan best ion know

Thank you!
Great video. Now someone needs to take it a step further and create a paraball out of it.

Nice!
thankyou
Thanks a lot ! Great tip !
very helpful,
Great video! But what if the foam breaks inside from impact from doing ball slams?
Fun fact, there are no corners for a sphere
What are the patches called? What's the main uses of the patch?
Can just get the basketballs and fill it up with potting soil and use gorilla glue to patch it up
nicely made video..very good idea to make my own med ball. gonna definitely do this,thank you.

very helpful, cheers!
Thanks!! I like it that you add the foam and the play sand. Great ideas! BTW, can I throw this at my husband? Oops I mean with my husband?
Joyce you sure can!
However I am not liable for the damage you will cause. Lol. Enjoy the medicine ball. 3 years later still going strong.
Nice
dont hv to go through all that , find a used tyre for slamming it works better than ball
Can I use basegel?
Why dont you make a nice round hole instead?
Why do you need to buy play sand. What is that mean?. Just use normal sand.
It will be even cheapet
What material did you use for the patch? Thanks.
All the corners?
what kind of foam did you use?
spray insulation foam. You'll find it at any hardware store.
where you buy "special sand" wich it is exactly name, or other presentations?
Play Sand. Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/SAKRETE-50-lb-Natural-Play-Sand-100033813/100632108
If u don’t got sand just use ur cats litter box sand :))
why not just duct tape the shit out of it?
Sabuj Pattanayek I now
Can you use dirt
Sure
Pro tip: use Duct tape to wrap it. Lasts longer
all the way around?
