Not sure which to pick? Smaller dogs and puppies generally do better with the 6 cm. Larger breeds with full grips tend to prefer the 7 cm.
Handle Options

Available Colors
-
Purple — For the dog that demands royalty treatment and good visibilty.
-

Blue — Which is high visibility for a dog.
Quick tip: The flat tubular webbing handle is the real star here. Unlike round rope or cord handles that dig into your palm under load, the flat webbing spreads the force across a wider surface — so you can go rep after rep without your hand paying the price.
Designed for working dogs and the handlers who train them.
FAQs
Which size should I choose — 6 cm or 7 cm?
Go with 6 cm (about 2.36 inches across — that's diameter, or "bigger than a golf ball" in Freedom Units 🦅) for smaller dogs, puppies, or dogs still building grip confidence. The 7 cm (roughly 2.76 inches across — firmly in racquetball territory) is better suited for larger breeds and dogs with a strong, full grip.
What's the difference between the string and loop handle?
The string handle gives you extra length for throws and retrieves, keeping the dog at a distance during reward work. The loop handle is a closed grip — ideal for tug, drive building, and close-contact play. Both use the same soft flat tubular webbing that distributes force across your palm instead of digging in like round rope.
Why flat tubular webbing instead of a regular rope handle?
Round cord and rope handles concentrate force on a narrow strip of your hand — after a few hard tug sessions, you feel it. Flat tubular webbing spreads that same force across a much wider surface area, keeping your hand comfortable through long training sessions without sacrificing grip or control.
Does color affect anything other than looks?
Yes!! — all three colors (Purple, Orange, Blue) are the same ball. That said, Orange is the easiest for humans to spot in grass or low light, which your future self will appreciate when your dog buries it in the yard. Your Dog sees purple and blue better in grass.
Is this ball suitable for aggressive chewers?
This ball is designed as a reward and drive toy, not an unsupervised chew toy. It's built tough for tug and fetch work but should be used during supervised training sessions. Put it away when the session ends — it stays in better shape and keeps its value as a high-drive reward.
