This basketball doesn't quite bounce the way a basketball should because it is solid foam and so heavy. However, it is what it is- it's meant to be something to play with that isn't as noisy as a regular deafening basketball, so it does its job well. It takes a lot more effort to both bounce and throw, so it could build more muscles when using it to train at home and your family won't have to listen to the hollow air sounds that they normally would with a regular basketball as it is bouncing around.

I wasn't expected this to be whisper quiet, so the thunk that it makes is acceptable. It is much quieter than a standard basketball. The ball feels denser as it is a solid type of foam. It has a little heft to it and doesn't rebound as much as an inflated basketball. The additional weight makes for an excellent training ball indoors. If you use this outside, it will absolutely get destroyed on pavement. This is perfect for practicing dribbling skills.

WAWAWEWA says they are "The Offical Silent Basketball". These Silent Basketballs are significantly improving since they were first released. The consistency of the bounce is a 4.5 of 5; the bounce is a 4 of 5; Nose is a 4.5 of 5; the feel the ball is a 5 of 5 and the packaging for a gift is a 5 of 5. It is a regulation 29.5" or a Size 7 (NBA/College/High School Size). These Silent Basketballs are great for any hooper to work on their handles.

This ball is amazing I have been practicing all the time. If you were looking for one this is it. There are some flaws though: •little less bouncy than real ball •isn’t completely silent( but that’s not really possible) •It loses some of the outer shell over time but it still has grip • It comes in a box which means you don’t have to worry if it is going to be a perfect sphere or not. Overall I would say it’s worth it.

At first I was taken back by its cheap feel/look- especially at this price point. However, it does exactly what it's meant to do. Its silent design makes it perfect for indoor use without the noise of traditional basketballs. The grooved surface provides excellent grip and control, enhancing gameplay. This basketball is a great choice for practicing indoors without disturbing others.

the rebound is around 85%-90% of the rebound of a regular ball, which is normal for all silent balls. It does take a day or two to break in but once you do, it is very fun and easy to dribble. the grooves on it help when dribbling and it is definitely worth the money

Well worth it if you love basketball. Feels very similar to a basketball but obviously will never feel like the real thing. Good for having fun and finding creative moves

Not completely quiet because the floor still makes noise, but compared to a normal ball slapping the floor, this one is eerily silent.

Is quiet, non-marking and is great to use as an elder working on motor skills.
