This thing is awesome. My kid has been begging for one for months and I told him if he can get his grades up then I will buy one. He finally did so I surprised him and he hasn’t stopped using it. It’s been a life saver in our upstairs apartment. If noise drives you crazy, buy this!!!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son requested this after I complained about the noise from his tennis ball and other “indoor” balls. Because this is made from foam it ever goes outside so I don’t mind that he walked around the house dribbling.

Nice ball for practicing dribbling indoors. The ball is soft foam but firm and heavy enough to feel similar to bouncing a real basketball. It’s not totally silent but it is very quiet. This has been perfect for my 8 year old during cold months. There are other options out there that are more realistic but also more expensive. (some are 2-3x the price) This is a great, budget friendly alternative.

My son has been passionate about basketball since he was 1 years old. He's currently 13. He goes to the court rain or shine, and practices his shots every day. He's always dribbling and breaking ankles with an invisible ball through the house, so why not invest in a silent basketball. I felt like this was a great gift for him, maybe the best gift. His handles and shots have improved quite a bit. I can barely tell he's using the ball in the house. I will be getting another one for my oldest daughter.

In reference to the silent aspect of this ball I would give it 5 stars. The quality of the material of the ball is horrible which is why I gave 1 star. It hasn’t even been a month yet and the ball is already falling apart. Literally everywhere you look it’s red sponge on the floor. I’m not convinced they will even last 30 days.

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.

l got two of these balls, one for each of my youngest grandsons. They love them!!! They got lots of toys and games, but they rarely touch them. They go for the balls first thing and play with them all throughout the day. An extremely great investment!!!

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 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!
