Baoding China Bals and Cloisonne Balls
Panda Exercise Balls and Hollow Chinese Balls
In Baoding, they are instead called Iron Balls, because they were originally made out of iron. As they became more popular and metalworking skills improved, construction methods varied. Most Baoding balls made and used today are constructed as a pair of hollow spheres, one inside the other with a chime between which rings as the inner ball strikes it. Many modern examples are decorated with Cloisonne and brass wire like the ones you see pictured here. For injury recovery, hollow balls are generally more suitable due to their lighter weight. For exercise purposes, balls made of solid iron, steel or tungsten carbide should be used, since the added weight requires more energy be expended in their rotation.
