First, this is not “silent.” I doubt there is any such thing. However, compared to dribbling a regular basketball in the house, this one is tolerable. Size is NBA regulation size, 29.5, and has good weight. Although it says it can be used outdoors, the cover material is not durable enough in my opinion. On carpet, the sound is very low. The “anti-grip” cover is interesting, as it is a bit slick. This is supposed to help improve grip strength and ball control. Good option for players who insist on bouncing a ball in the house!

This silent basketball has good weight and feel to it, close to a real basketball. Definitely enjoy using it indoors and it is very quiet. The only cons I have is wished it had more of a grippy skin. The skin has no texture and almost slides out of your hands. Also, it could bounce a little higher. You do have to put in some effort on getting it to bounce like a real basketball would bounce. Other those reasons, it's a good indoor training tool.

I wanted to get an indoor/outdoor so I could play outside in my yard and not to bother my neighbor too much. This is the only one listed as outdoor silent basketball. This ball is a foam ball like others but cover with a thin cloth. For outdoor use, I can't see how this ball would last because it's a thin cloth. If any silent basketball could come up with a tougher covering material, it's going to sell. All that being said, it bounced well and I like it a lot playing it indoor. I also like the feel of this ball. My only complaint like I said it's the covering material. Overall, it's a good silent basketball.

Not sure if it's the official ball, but it's made with good quality. The ball has a thin cover around it. It makes the ball feel weird in my hand since basketballs dont have a covering over it. Having the sleeve over it doesn't make it feel comfortable when bouncing it. The ball is firm and didn't come out of shape. It was in a box so it kept its shape. It does bounce nicely, but with the sleeve it slows down the dribble.
