Any more comments on this issue?

How's your ball working out sudo? What size did you end up getting and do you like it or do you wish you'd gotten a bigger/smaller one.

I've got some money to spend but can only afford one ball at this time.

if you can afford only one, i'd say go with the 12 pound ball.

I'd go with a 10 or 12. 15 is too heavy for most medicine ball routines.
