I have a 50lb CFF slam ball as well, which I am guessing has about a 10.6 diameter. This ball is slightly smaller with a 9 inch diameter. It is built the same as the 50lber, which I have been using for a while now, along with others as I leave it in a weightroom at work. In fact a co-worker actually picked up this 40lb version as he liked the 50 a lot but thought it a tad heavy for his purposes. Very thick rubber and a solid buried brass plug. The build quaility is very good, which it needs to be as this is a ball you will be slamming and throwing.From an exercise perspective these balls are great for doing explosive movements. The slam (pick it up and throw it down) is the basic movement, but you can push press slam it, chop slam it, throw it backwards against a wall, or chest pass it forward. A lot of great movements. Also good to incorporate into any crossfit "workout of the day" type routines you might want to think up. Our last one had us doing slams in the middle of pushing a sled and doing walking lunges. I would like to see CFF contract to put out some weights in the 60-100lb class as well. These are fun and a great workout tool. I would recommend.
