My son loved playing with this basketball, and my husband loved that it was almost soundless. But it only lasted few weeks and now i have tiny bits of orange foam all over my home and clothes (especially kids socks), which is hard to renove (especially on carpet and socks).

This ball is a lifesaver! My son constantly dribbles in the house and it drives me crazy! I saw a kid playing with this in Wal-Mart and immediately added it to my cart as I was in line. It was a Christmas gift but since it has been opened, it has been a daily gift to my ears. I am truly happy with this purchase!

I have to admit I was hesitant to purchase because we all know about kids playing ball in the house! This basketball caught the eye of my son so I thought we'd give it a try. It's pretty amazing. It's not completely silent, of course but silent enough for me. It has great bounce and is a good size. Makes a great gift!

absolutely LOVE this basketball! I got this for my super active sports loving 5 year old. The sound is almost non existent and he can dribble his little heart out. This has cut down on the amount of loud noise in my busy house! Super thankful for this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ball is great! The only drawback is if you do take it outside the outer foam will start to get worn/damaged; get cuts or small spots break off. But it is still a great purchase. I love that it is a full size ball!

I ordered this ball for my son for his Dec 12th birthday so he began playing with it bouncing it around the 12th by Christmas Day the outer coating wore off of the ball and it is breaking down like a piece of foam does It does still function but most likley I will need to replace it soon because it eventually will have nothing left

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome basketball. We got the lifetime portable basketball hoop 90269 to use in our playroom. This basketball is the perfect companion for playing indoor on tile floors. The ball is made out of a very dense foam and has a satisfying bounce and weight. No noise.

Basketball was great and my son used it nonstop. HOWEVER, after about a month of use I kept finding little orange pieces all over the house. I finally figured out the ball was “shedding” its foam! Once the shed started, it only got worse and the basketball had to go to the trash. My son was disappointed because it was a great basketball…until it wasn’t.

My son got this for Christmas and has played with it everyday. It has lasted less than a month. The ball had started shedding the foam all over the floor and furniture. We had to throw it away today because while he was playing with it, a piece of the foam got in his eye from the ball. Would really like to replace it with another, since he loved it so much. But now it’s dangerous to use.

bought these silent basketball foams for my son to use indoors, and they’ve been a total win! The foam is dense enough to feel like a real basketball but soft enough not to damage walls, furniture, or ears. No more pounding sounds echoing through the house just quiet, happy dribbling.
