I work out regularly with grips, rolling up a weight on a stick with rope - and unrolling it. And I also use Harmony / Bao Ding balls. I started out with the novelty one and now I use 1¾" solid steel balls. I don't happen to believe any of the stuff about them healing or balancing energy or any of that. I just do the exercises with some faily heavy carbon steel balls and it does give my hands a workout.
These exercises as well as doing pull-ups helps strengthen my grip and maintain muscle mass in my forearms.
