Ball for Pure Barre Pershing Square 2

It's smaller than the P57 ball, which is all I have. Can i use the P57 ball or is it worthwhile getting the smaller ball. thanks.

I used my P57 ball at first and I thought it was awkward.
I bought the PB ball and it's much better.

I use a little Bender ball. Kind of sticky so it doesn't shoot out from anywhere. I bet Walmart or Target have small playground balls (5-6 inches) for super cheap.

I just got PBPershing 2 in a trade and am wondering if the ball from the 10MS Quick Sculpt pilates would work.
I hear this is the same size as the ball used in Barre 3.

I just bought a little ball at Target. I haven't used it yet, but I did try it out while at Target. I am sure some folks thought I was crazy holding it behind my knee and lifting my leg. I had to see which size felt best for me. (They had several small ones.) Mine has the characters from CARS on it. I may have to get another one since my puppy has begun to play with it.

The 10MS QSP ball is 8 1/2 to 9 inches, depending on how hard I've pumped it up. Sounds like it may be a bit big for Pure Barre.

Thanks I think you are right. I have a small 3 pound ball that I will try. Do you think it will be OK to use a weighted ball?

The PB is a lot smaller than a playground ball. I think it's almost the same size as the Yoga Booty Ballet ball. It might be around 5". I also tried using the 10 MS ball and it didn't feel quite right. I bet at walmart they have a ball around that size.

You can also find one at most Gap Kids or Old Navy for $5.50.
