Good ball for price, but not very giftable

Good ball for price, but not very giftable
It seems like a decent although not great ball. It has stayed inflated since far but I've read many reviews saying it will not hold air and that has me worried. It did arrive with some scuff marks, which since I bought this to shoot around outside doesn't bother me but it also has no packaging. It is a ball in a box when it arrives. So, if you're looking for a gift, this one is NOT the most giftable.

As a basketball fanatic I am always looking for a good ball to play with. This ball is durable, and for the price was a good purchase. I am happy to say that this ball bounces well, and keeps air in efficiency. The colors are great as they are earth tones which is nice when playing outside. Great buy! Thanks.

We purchased this Basketball for Easter for our 7 year old son. Great basketball. Comes already aired up, so it’s ready to use. We have purchased several basketballs throughout the years from Walmart, the last one didn’t even last a week before losing air. This basketball seems like good quality, and has been going strong since we purchased it (about a month ago). Fun colors too.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY nice ball. No product packaging, though.

Arrived in perfect condition, and inflated to proper specs. Ready to use! Great ball all around, and looks good too. Was odd that it came in an unmarked, plain cardboard box. No brand, no words, no instructions, etc. Thus, this would not make a good "gift" since it might seem used to the receiver. There were no marks, smears, nor anything else on the ball to indicate it had been used, though, so not sure why it didn't have a product box.

Great value, The grip does not wear down over time. I've been playing basketball outside every week with this one and it has held up pretty well. You may need to pump it up with air a Little bit after you play with it for a long game though.

i like it because when i first got it it was really bouncy and high quality but after one month of playing with it the paint or whatever it is started fading off the basketball and that was really annoying because i used to love it with the paint or whatever it is and it was delivered really early so i was` happy and the basketball was really big so i loved that but if it came with a bundle like a bundle with a basketball hoop i would be even more happy like a small one with wheels but really good basketball.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can and pretend like I'm in a 90's basketball movie
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2020

The ball doesn't actually mention how bouncy it is. So for those that were holding off their purchase because they didn't know the bounce scale, I would say that it's a Medium. The ball does what it's supposed to...it bounces, looks good and also fits through a regulation size basketball hoop. I recently injured my finger which has meant that I'm unable to test out the spinning capabilities of the ball. I like to spin basketballs on my finger for as long as I can and pretend like I'm in a 90's basketball movie. My longest is about 45 seconds! Once my finger has healed I'll update my review. I just thought it was important that I get my review up as soon as possible so people knew about the bounce rating. I can't say how I injured my finger because it's part of a non-disclosure agreement from my recent settlement with the County sewage department. Let's just say...public toilets are a tricky place sometimes!

These basketballs are just adorable! I bought 3 for sisters who all have a birthday near each other and a dad who is big into basketball. They just loved them! My only issue is that they came not all the way inflated and I didn't have a needle or the time to get one to fix that issue so I ended up having to give them semi flat balls and their dad aired them up after. They don't come in any particular packaging either just plain brown boxes which is nice for wrapping but not the best presentation. Just some things to be aware of. Overall a great value and product!

My daughter seems to love her bday gift. She loves the fact it is multicolored & always chooses it when shooting a lot. She has just got into basketball. We had it for a month, the basketball is a good size for her (she is 8) & appears of good quality as well.
