Rank #2 in Best Slam Ball 2026: 9 Ranked, and the Labels That Don't Add Up
Mirafit Tyre Tread Slam Ball, 2kg to 30kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Mirafit Tyre Tread Slam Ball comes in at number 2 in this guide at £16.99, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 157 ratings, with 84 of the 100 ratings in the published breakdown sitting at 5 stars. It is a sand-filled, no-bounce ball with a moulded PVC tyre tread surface, sold as a choice of weight rather than one fixed size — and that choice is where this listing stops agreeing with itself.
The bullet lists 14 weights, from 2kg up to 30kg. The Size field names a single weight: 3kg. The measurements bullet then quotes diameters for 50kg and 75kg balls, neither of which appears anywhere in that list of 14. That is three different answers to "how heavy can this ball be" on the same page. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing as published; we have not handled or tested the ball ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“As always very happy with Mirafit products. The quality never lets you down and they are always innovating with their products. This slam ball is so grippy with the tyre tread effect around the outside. I already have a 20kg slam ball but it was just not quite heavy enough. This 30kg one is just what I needed for a good cardio and strength training workout. If you have ever picked up a bag of cement this feels like that. A bag of cement is 25kg but due to its smaller more compact size this ball feels like that. It's very easy to dead lift and place straight up onto your shoulder. It's excellent for slamming exercises too. Pick it up, slam it down and it stays exactly where you slammed it, no bouncing. Highly recommend.”
Verified purchase“Bought this for a home gym. Mainly used for slams in the 20kg size. It's really strong and the tread pattern helps with grip. The surface is not super rubbery and grippy, but that's fine because that sort of material tends to break down more over time and the treads make up for it by providing physical grip.”

Questions people ask
How many weights does the Mirafit Tyre Tread Slam Ball come in?
The bullet says it is available in a choice of 14 sizes: 2kg, 3kg, 4kg, 5kg, 6kg, 7kg, 8kg, 9kg, 10kg, 12kg, 15kg, 20kg, 25kg and 30kg. The Size field on the same listing names only 3kg.
What size would I actually receive?
The listing's Size field says 3kg and its Item Diameter says 22 centimetres. The measurements bullet gives a 22cm diameter for the 2kg–10kg balls, so 3kg fits that range, but the Size field is the only place the listing commits to one weight.
Does the Mirafit slam ball bounce?
No. The bullet describes it as a sand filled ball that prevents bouncing and rolling in-between slams.
Why do the measurements mention 50kg and 75kg?
The measurements bullet gives a 37cm diameter for 50kg and 39cm for 75kg, but neither weight appears in the list of sizes you can choose, which stops at 30kg.
Can it be slammed on a hard floor?
The listing says it is designed for repeated slamming on solid surfaces, with a tyre tread pattern PVC surface for improved grip and durability, and lists throwing, swinging and rotating exercises as its uses.

4.7 out of 5 from 157 ratings. Of the 100 ratings shown in the breakdown, 84 are 5-star and 1 is 1-star.
