Rigidbody2D.bodyType not working

Unity Engine

Hi, I’m Julian. I have a problem changing body types via script. The thing is that when I try to change it from static to dynamic, and then back to static, it stays at dynamic.
Here’s that code:

public class Ball : MonoBehaviour
{
    [HideInInspector] public bool playing;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        playing = false;
        Physics2D.gravity = new Vector2(0, -9.8f);
        this.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().bodyType = RigidbodyType2D.Static;
    }

    public void play()
    {
        playing = true;
        this.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().bodyType = RigidbodyType2D.Dynamic;
    }

    public void reload()
    {
        playing = false;
        gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().bodyType = RigidbodyType2D.Static;
    }

    public void BackToMenu()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene("Level Selector", LoadSceneMode.Single);
    }
}

I don’t have any idea if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m missing something.
Please help.

I am dumb:

I was calling the “reload” function on the prefab of the ball, not on the scene object.
