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 read the reviews before buying this and I am glad I did!! It isn't completely quiet but it has kept 2 teenagers occupied for hours in the house! They actually share the basketball. I would describe it has a more firm foam basketball with bounce. I plan to buy the soccer ball version next.

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 is a pretty cool ball. It is pretty close to measuring the same size as a regulation sized men’s basketball. My daughter has loved using it during the cold winter months when she is stuck inside. It’s not completely “silent” but it’s so much better than the real ball bouncing in the house!

Great in theory, but I wouldn’t use this full time. The loud basketballs have more weight, which encourages stronger dribbling. The lighter foam is quieter, of course, but the cost of it will be weaker handling for beginner players. I would stick to a regular basketball or even, a heavy basketball to improve skills, or only use this to supplement reps.

Works exactly has described. My two bball boys love it. It’s the size of a regular basketball. I purchased in store to avoid any deformity caused by shipping. It is spongy but bounces and passes just like a regular basketball. Though it is much quieter than a bball inside your house. It does give a slight thump when you dribble. But it’s not bad at all. I highly recommend this product and even went back to the store to buy a second one days later when my 2 boys wouldn’t stop competing for the one. One son never set his down and it did have more wear than the other - even though it’s not pretty anymore it still does the job. I was skeptical before purchasing but I’m so glad I did.

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.

This ball was a huge hit at Christmas. The most loved item my son received. However, two after dribbling for hours on end each day, it started to peel. 6 weeks later it has shedded all over the house. Still bouncing it’s a mess. Would love to find one that doesn’t disintegrate.

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.
