About this product
Top Chi baoding balls are a hand exercise tool that have been used for centuries since the ancient times in China. It includes two solid steel balls which are rotated around in the palm of your hand. Depending on your dexterity level and agility, it can be easy or challenging. But that is why they are fun and healthy to use! Practicing daily with Top Chi baoding balls exercises the muscles in the hand and wrist. After you get the hang of the basics, more advanced techniques can be tried such as spinning the balls without them touching, rotating them in reverse, and even 3 or 4 balls per hand. Basic or advanced exercises will all build hand coordination and strength. Doctors have recommended the use of baoding balls as they help manage hand and wrist conditions.
Top Chi’s baoding balls include a convenient zipper carry pouch so you can easily carry them with you to exercise whenever your hands are idle. The pouch also has a disc you can place between the balls so they stay silent if rattled. Made from high quality stainless steel, you can’t ask for a more durable set of balls. They are solid so they do not chime like traditional baoding balls. Use them anywhere without disturbing other people.

“Stress management is an important step in adding years to your life. Stress is the #1 ager of the body and
its effects can be beyond destructive. It’s important to get a handle on stress; one way to achieve this is
through meditation. Chinese harmony balls are a good way to zen out. They target acupressure points that
stimulate the release of healthy energy, the rhythmic motion can be relaxing” – The Dr Oz Show
Easy to Use
A 1.5″ ball is a medium sized set that any person can use from small to large hands. You can rotate them touching each other as a beginner, and with practice rotate them faster and apart.
One of the Earliest Health Discoveries
As early as when the Great Wall of China was built, people in China have discovered the benefits of using baoding balls. It has been a staple of traditional Chinese medicine with its use on stimulating acupressure points and meridians of the hand. You can learn more on our website. Used all over the world now, it’s long history of continued use is proof of the healthy benefits of this exercise.
Treat or Prevent Hand and Wrist Problems Before Severe Injury
The Mayo Clinic says wrist problems such as carpal tunnel can be treated early without surgery and should be treated as soon as symptoms start. Things you can do are wear a brace, take breaks from doing activities with your hands, rotate your wrists, and exercise by stretching the palms and fingers. If you have symptoms, don’t wait, it will only get worse!
Reasons to Use Baoding Balls From a Certified Hand Therapist
Certified hand therapist and member of the American Society of Hand Therapists, Meg Robinson, recommends baoding balls to manage hand problems as long as there is no pain when doing the exercises for the following 5 reasons.
By rotating the balls, the hand muscles maintain and extend flexibility. A person with a hand injury can use the balls to gently reach a goal of better hand motion.
Improve Strength and Endurance
Whether you an athlete, artist, musician, or laborer, you can benefit stronger muscles in the hand.
Improve Isolated Finger Movement and Coordination
Activities requiring high levels of dexterity can benefit from using the balls as manipulating the balls in various patterns and speeds requires dexterity and accuracy. It goes well with occupations that work with their hands such as craftsmen, musicians, and surgeons.
Provide Balance Workout to Both the Hand Flexor and Extensor Muscles
Hand injury and strains occurs from using hand and arm muscles in an imbalanced way. Overuse of one muscle or tendon leads to inflammation and swelling causing tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Baoding balls combat this by exercising the muscles equally.
Sometimes going for a run doing other stress relieving activities is not possible. Baoding balls are a fun and relaxing way to reduce stress you can do in almost any situation.

LOVE these Baoding Balls! They are so smooth and solid and the accompanying carrying case is perfect! I also ordered the stand and box (to offset the shipping fees) and those are very handy - I have a place for them to rest in each room. The quality surprised me and I plan to order more in the future. I went with these for surgery recovery on one hand but love them for both. Ease of ordering, clear website and fast shipping all greatly appreciated. I found the website when I asked ChatGPT what was BEST on the market...

Not as easy as it looks

These are high quality and heavy. Together they are 16 ounces by my scales. I like the weight. I am getting faster with them and my hands are definitely getting stronger. I’m glad to have them.

Love these. I'm using them to improve and maintain control my Parkinson's-addled hands. The baoding balls are fun to 'play' with while watching TV or sitting around gazing at your navel, or—like worry beads—when you're frightened or agitated. They feel good in the hand. Some are solid steel, some are made of semi-precious stone, and some have softly ringing chimes. Avail. in a range of sizes. FYI, I have smallish hands– do best with the 1.5-inch (diameter) size. Why not try two variations? Buy a good pair in one size and an unmatched pair from the Bargain Bin, which costs far less, in another size.

Very good quality. I can how much they exercise your fingers and hands. For me it looks so simple but it will take a lot of work but I see how they will help.

Purchased as gift for my husband on the advice of a physical therapist. He has been very pleased with the quality and functionality.
- Sherry A.Verified
Great service with ordering and follow up. As a beginner, I’m just now learning how to manipulate the baodingballs with the realization of how large the 1.5 inch ones feel in my Size Small hands. I have that this product will benefit my 79-year old hands thus I shall keep practicing and report back when I have made more progress. Thank you.

This is my first set of baoding balls so I cannot compare. The 1.5" stainless steel balls are heavy enough to increase hand strength over time. The motion also improves the arches of the hand. The stainless steel is smooth and they slide without resistance.

Helping my hands
- Joe C.Verified
I have to say that I really enjoy them. Although they are a little heavy, I am slowly getting used to the weight. I will definitely be purchasing another pair soon, perhaps something that's a little bit lighter.
- Sheila P.Verified
I Would love these except they are too heavy for my arthritic hands.
- Janet A.Verified
Rotating the Baoding Balls in my hands exercises so many muscles in my hands and arms. My arthritic hands already feel better. Stiffness is no longer present. Thank you for promoting better health.
- Phyllis N.Verified
My fingers have been stiff lately. I guess it's the beginning of arthritis. But, using these balls, does give me relief.

I bought a medium set for myself, my son, and a friend. I am impressed with how quickly my hand and forearm get fatigued just by rotating the balls clockwise, then counterclockwise, palm side up, in my hand. My dexterity is slowly improving when rotating in the hardest direction (for each hand). I find these are fun and handy to use for helping me stay focused on tasks when I’m sitting down reading or watching a show. My son reported that he liked his, repeatedly used them while watching videos, and took them with him to use in his dorm. (I have yet to give the 3rd set to my friend to get her feedback.) These are heavier and bigger than I thought they would be. Maybe my hand is too small for a medium size, but I wanted to develop dexterity and strength because I am aging and don’t want arthritis. I am glad I bought these and am more than satisfied at how they support my focus and increase hand strength and flexibility. These arrived quickly after ordering and come in neat zippered cases.

I like the balls and they are already helping a bit with my carpal tunnel symptoms. My doctor suggested getting the balls for that reason.

Great quality. Fast shipper. Will buy from again

My OT told me to pick up a set so I visited this site. I like these ones a lot. Good solid feel and weight. And the felt carry case is a bonus.
- David B.Verified
I thought the balls would be larger. The reason for the 3 stars is just the size of the balls and not the quality.

I recently joined a climbing gym and all the climbing puts a strain on the fingers and forearms. I commented to a new friend at the gym about my finger issues and he recommended these Baoding Balls. I’ve been using them for 3 weeks now and things are much better including my climbing. I do a lot of biking and hiking besides climbing and these balls are by far the most inexpensive piece of exercise gear. I assume they will last a lifetime unless they are lost somehow. Great finger and forearm exercise to build muscle tone and coordination. It is also challenging to learn the different maneuvers with them which makes it pleasurable.

I knit a lot, I mean a LOT. After 50-odd years of this, my hands and wrists are getting a little sore. I read a book suggesting I try taiji balls; found these online, and have been using them for a couple weeks. Not pain-free yet (and not expecting to be for a while), but the reduction in pain has been just about miraculous. Thanks!
- MickVerified
Used to have a set that I managed to loose somehow… found your site; incredible selection! Ordered the 1.5” solid stainless and they have weight enough to really loosen up the tendons! You shipped very promptly and the quality is top shelf!!!
- Cliserio L.Verified
The Baoding balls had an excellent finish smooth and shiny. The weight was right at 1lbs for the pair. The carry pouch feels like good quality. Worth the investment.

These were bought for my daughter to help with her hand after practicing Violin. I've been using much larger ones for over 30 years. They really work! I"m glad my daughter now will use them too!
- Duff MVerified
I have the 2" chrome balls and those are a real hand workout. The 1.5" are an excellent size and weight for me.
I also got the 1" and those are a little too small for my large hands to be comfortable, although I do not regret buying them. I find myself reaching for the 1.5" more than the 1" or the 2" though. I'd highly recommend that 1.5" size. For someone who has very weak or tiny hands this might be a hand workout though.
These balls are extremely smooth and shiny. At first they are a little sticky because they don't have any of the oils from your hands on them, but after a little while they roll around very smoothly.
Be careful to not drop them on your feet, your phone, or a glass coffeetable. And keep them away from kids and pets.
