MEDICINE BALL V4

Name: MEDICINE BALL V4
Brand: Fringe Sport
Rating: 4.89 (3 reviews)

The Medicine Ball V4 is FringeSport’s fourth-generation training ball, built for wall balls, slams, overhead presses, and rotational core work. A PVC outer shell over a polyester-batting interior, double-stitch lacing, and an internal bladder keep the ball round rather than “egging” out of shape over repeated use. It ships in six weight options from 6 to 30 lbs, individually or as pairs and sets, and carries a one-year warranty that explicitly covers slam damage – a guarantee most competing medicine balls don’t offer.

Diameter	14 in
Material	PVC outer shell, polyester batting interior
Warranty	1 year, including slam damage
Construction	Double-stitch lacing, internal weight-distribution bladder
Weight options	6, 10, 14, 16, 20, or 30 lbs

What is a Miscellaneou?

What’s in Miscellaneous

This is the catch-all for the conditioning tools and accessories that don’t fit a single equipment class — weighted vests and plate carriers, medicine and slam balls, plyo boxes, ab mats, and the odds and ends that round out a garage gym. Items land here because their job (loaded carries, jumps, core work) cuts across the categories rather than sitting neatly inside one.

Who it’s for

Anyone filling in the gaps around the big pieces. If you already have a rack, bar, and plates, this is where you find the vest for rucking and weighted push-ups, the ball for slams and wall throws, or the box for step-ups and box jumps. Match the tool to the training you actually do — a plate carrier for conditioning and rucking, plyo boxes for explosive work — rather than buying the whole shelf.

Reddit	4.0/5	1 reviews	One r/crossfit owner reports their 20 lb FringeSport medicine ball "holding up fine" under frequent wall-ball use; separately, two r/homegym threads show users choosing FringeSport's line over Rogue's specifically because FringeSport's warranty covers slam use.

FringeSport’s fourth-generation medicine ball trades a bit of top-tier durability for a slam-friendly warranty most competitors won’t offer. Value is the standout: an inner bladder and inelastic PVC shell keep the ball round under repeated wall-ball and slam abuse, and the one-year warranty explicitly covers slam damage even though the ball isn’t purpose-built for it. Durability is the weakest dimension — reviewers note the double-stitch lacing is the likely long-term failure point, though owners report it holding up fine through regular use.

+Value: warranty covers slam damage despite the ball not being slam-designed, unusual among competitors (Garage Gym Reviews)
+Build quality: inner bladder distributes weight to prevent "egging"/misshaping over time (Garage Gym Reviews)
+Build quality: inelastic PVC outer shell resists stretching (Garage Gym Reviews)
+Functionality: owner reports the ball held up fine through frequent wall-ball use (r/crossfit)
+Versatility: sold across six weight options (6-30 lbs) individually or as pairs/sets (manufacturer)

−Durability: stitching is flagged as the likely long-term wear point (Garage Gym Reviews)
−Durability: "will not be as durable as our top pick" for heavy/commercial use (Garage Gym Reviews)
−Value: one-year warranty is shorter than some competitors' lifetime coverage (Garage Gym Reviews)
−Functionality: top end of the line caps at 30-40 lbs, limiting use for advanced slam/carry work (Garage Gym Reviews)
