I think this is part of the production process, but just to be safe I took some pics of the sides of the ball before I used it just so I could have a starting point to see if anything changes. Right out of the box I noticed the sides of the 2inch ball where it meets the metal have little splits in them. Even Sir thought I was going to have trouble so I wanted to see right away if I could prove him wrong :p (because he’s almost never wrong when it comes to these things) I started my testing with the large ball because I don’t have anything that large and I was super curious if I could even tolerate it at all. Due to a little mix up I ended up with both sized balls, and I’m glad that I did because each one is a very different experience. There are 2 different size balls to choose from. The only downside to the choice of ball material I can find is that it’s slightly tacky and collects hair and fuzz easily, but that’s easy to rinse off. Its slightly more squishy than a traditional gag ball and I believe that makes the 2 inch option more tolerable for the average wearer. The combination of the ball with the bit makes this gag unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The ball mostly eliminates the concern of teeth touching metal. One of the biggest problems with authentic horse bit gags is the metal touching the teeth and risk of accidental chipping.

By appropriately I mean there’s kind of a sweet spot for the screw that allows the joint to move but not too much. The wearer cannot unscrew it by hand if screwed down appropriately. This allows for some flexibility in the fit and makes it possible to switch out the gags, and take the straps off.

The O-ring at the sides has a screw that can be removed using a hex tool. The wide metal makes it nice and comfortable on the corners of the mouth and there’s absolutely pinching at any of the joints. All of this adds up to a nice fitted look and feel around the face that’s difficult to achieve with bit gags. Right at the sides of the ball is the next joint followed by another joint at the rings where the straps attach. The length of that center link is a perfect size for the ball giving it a nice stable bar to sit on.

A regular snaffle bit has only one joint in the center whereas this gag an extra link in the center for the ball to sit. I had to do a little googling to see exactly what that means since I’m not a horse person, and the best I can tell is that it’s essentially a multi jointed snaffle bit. The stainless steel bit used is called a french hinged link bit in the product description. You can tell a lot of thought went into the hardware choices for the bit portion of the gag and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. House of Wolfram offers a unique take on the traditional ball gag by incorporating a french link hinged horse bit turning it into a hybrid thats a great match for pony play while remaining appealing to metal bondage fans and gag fetishists.
