Difference Between a Slam Ball & Medicine Ball:

Slam balls are designed to be slammed onto the ground or suitable wall with explosive force, providing a full-body workout and developing explosive power. On the other hand, medicine balls are typically used for bodyweight exercises like squats and core movements, without the need for slamming.
