The Tai Chi Yin-Yang motif on the grey base now comes in the larger 4 cm size. Intended as a step up from the 3.5 cm standard version, this set is designed for more experienced hands or larger palms.
Why the larger size
The half-centimetre difference in diameter creates a clearly noticeable increase in weight. If you are already comfortable with the 3.5 cm standard size and would like to step up your Tai Chi warm-up routine, you will enjoy this set.
The Tai Chi Yin-Yang motif
Built on the classic Yin-Yang shape, the finer circular pattern recalls the Tai Chi diagram. On the larger surface this inner decoration comes through even more clearly.
The grey base
The restrained grey background gives the pair a neutral, mature appearance. It does not draw attention away from the motif and is never loud on a desk.
The inner chime
In the 4 cm size the inner sound plate produces a fuller, deeper chime. Quiet and calm — fitting for the focus before Tai Chi practice.
The origin of the tradition
Chinese tradition links the use of these balls to Emperor Jia Jing during the 16th-century Ming dynasty. Stimulating the palm's energy points is connected to the flow of Qi — we share this as cultural tradition, not as a medical claim.
A practical tip
Start by rolling the two balls together, touching each other, in one palm. After a few days try rolling them separated. If the size feels challenging at first, you may want to begin with the 3.5 cm standard version.
Packaging
The pair arrives in an ornate Chinese gift box.
