What is the weight of the ball?

The weight of this SKLZ Pro Mini Swish Foam Ball is 3.3 ounces as measured on my digital scale. By comparison, the weight of the SKLZ Pro Mini Hoop Ball (which is a heavier inflated ball of roughly the same size, not a foam ball) is 5.6 ounces. So this foam ball is much lighter and will not do as much damage as it bounces off walls, lamps, and pictures in your room.

Is the foam ball better for noise? I'm in an apartment and the inflatable ball is too loud. I'm hoping this one will reduce the noise enough to play

I read the answer to this question by Pod and thought, "Yes! Exactly what I'm looking for!" But the ball ended up being just as loud as the original inflatable ball. We ended up getting an economy foam ball (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000BYMH6) and my son calls it the "Cloud Ball". He says it's fun to play with and doesn't knock over things in his room like the SKLZ balls do. And it's so much quieter than both the SKLZ foam and inflatable balls. But if you don't care about noise, this SKLZ foam ball is fine otherwise.

So I've had balls like this before but they've always shed and left flakes everywhere. Has that been a problem with this ball?

The ball sheds the outer dimple coating quickly after regular use, but once that later is gone the inner foam stands up well to strenuous use.

OK, is it 4 or 5 inches? can't be both.

Actually, under "Product Details" it says the dimensions are "Product Dimensions: 4 x 4 x 4 inches ; 3.2 ounces" which confused me as well. Apparently it's not even a BALL, it's a bloody 4x4x4 inch CUBE! (Gonna be tricky to dribble the thing!) Seems the person who "answered" this valid question isn't any better at reading specs than the manufacturer is at writing them. ;)

Nice

Nice looking and soft ball.

Poor quality

After minutes of playing with the ball indoors and on carpet the colour started flaking off. No reply from the company. Poor, do not recommend.

Perfetta

Non va gonfiata ma c'è all'interno la schiuma mentre all'esterno è come i palloni da basket

Die Rettung für die Nerven – Endlich Ruhe sehr empfehlenswert

super für geräuschempfindliche Eltern😁 Wer Kinder hat, die am liebsten den ganzen Tag in der Wohnung Dribbeln oder mit dem Ball spielen, kennt das Problem mit dem Lärm. Der Ball von SKLZ ist hierfür die absolut perfekte Lösung. Ein super Produkt, das genau das macht, was es soll: Den Spieltrieb fördern und gleichzeitig den Geräuschpegel im Haus drastisch senken. Ich würde ihn für den Indoor-Einsatz jederzeit wieder kaufen!

Silberne Farbe blättert nach nur einem Tag schon ab...

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.

Non fa rumore ed bella compatta. Se il pavimento non è liscio inizierà a perdere pezzettini.
