Clients say
Clients discover the basketball hoop to be of fine high quality and admire its measurement, notably noting it is good for smaller arms and indoor metallic hoops. The ball receives constructive suggestions for its softness, being comfortable sufficient to not harm residence interiors, and its bounce, with one buyer mentioning it is good for catching ankles. Clients like its weight, with one noting it is heavy sufficient for correct taking pictures, and discover it quieter than different balls. Nevertheless, clients report points with the ball peeling after use.

Great mini ball
We bought this ball for our son who plays on his mini-hoop every day. His Nerf mini ball was falling apart after years of practicing slam dunks. This one is a perfect substitution. Same size and consistency as the Nerf version, excellent price, and my son thinks the colors make it “look cool.” We are very satisfied with this purchase.

Great replacement ball
We have a Skillz mini basketball hoop that our son uses regularly. The previous ball had a bite mark from one of our dogs, so it was time for a replacement. This new ball works great and bounces decently. It seems to be of good quality, and we’ve had it for about a month now with no issues. As long as our dogs don’t take another bite out of it, we expect it to last a long time. We are happy with our purchase.

Perfect addition to any SKLZ mini indoor hoop!
I switched from 3 different 4″ Nerf foam basketballs to these as the Nerf brand do disintegrate over time. First the surface cracks, then peels, then foam spunge dries out and remnants come off. Not good.Other reviewers say that these balls don’t have the same feel as a real ball as the surface is fairly smooth and slippery compared to a real leather or rubber ball. I have purchased 3 of these and removed the outer wrap on one. I suggest leaving the wrap on if you can stand the sharp edges of the wrap when you dribble. Leaving it on improved my accuracy as there is no slippery release as the one without. For some reason the balls bounce higher with it on as well, though indoor play dribbling is louder and sharper, think snapping a belt kind of loud.I have used the opened one for primary play indoors and have had no issues with the surface peeling, drying out or cracking after a full 2 months of heavy use.I only wish they packaged this ball with the SKLZ hoop as well as the hard outdoor ball.

Perfect mini basketball
I was looking for a small ball to fit my mini rim. This was it!!! Fits perfectly. It’s not completely silent when you bounce it but it’s definitely more silent than a regular basketball because this one is made of a more spongy material.

Still very loud.
This maybe perfect for a home but not an apartment. Even it it’s a more upper class and luxurious apartment, bouncing this ball is still too loud for neighbors.

Good bounce, high quality!
Pros:1. Ball has really good bounce (almost too much)…I was not expecting more than a few bounces but you can definitely dribble with this ball!2. Does not feel cheep, in fact I actually was impressed at the high quality the foam felt and looked. I just purchased this ball recently so I don’t know how long it will last, (I plan on using daily) but it looks like it will hold up/last awhile.3. Good size for anyone buying this for their mini hoop.Cons:1. So far none, but will update review once Ive used ball for longer period of time.Overall: Good bounce, high quality (especially for the price), and perfect size for mini hoop.

Der Ball ist aus meiner Sicht recht teuer, aber wir suchten für innen einen Basketball , der zu dem Mini-Innenkorb passt, Hat auch eine gute Haptik und sieht gut aus. Problem : nach nur einen Tag blättert bereits die silberne Farbe ab. Jetzt sieht er nicht mehr so gut aus wie zuvor. Darf für diesen Preis nicht passieren.

I bought this ball as a back-up for the inflatable ones that came with a Door-mounted basketball hoop. My son is thrilled with it because it is both larger and less flimsy than the ones that came with the hoop. It has a good (but not too loud) bounce and works well for indoor use.I was slightly unsure whether it would be worth the price, but I’m very glad I got it, it hugely improves the fun to be had with the hoop.

Maakt toch wel wat lawaai

I had a feeling that it wouldn’t be quiet just from the shine in the pics. It’s not quiet at all, son says it hurts when hit in the face, also it doesn’t have grip like claimed. Other than that it’s good quality, it’s just not what it claims to be

Der Ball passt zwar wunderbar zum gezeigten Korb und lässt sich gut dribbeln und werfen. Allerdings blättert zum einen der blaue Bezug vom roten Ball und hinterlässt Fetzen auf dem Boden. Zum anderen bröselt nach gut zwei Monaten auch die rotglänzende Oberfläche ab, zum Vorschein kommt das weichere rote Innenmaterial. Die kleinen Brösel kann man nach jedem Match aufkehren, wenn man pingelig ist.
