Review: Great ball for youth - We bought this ball for a nephew recently because we bought one for our son about 15 years ago. Our son used this ball to develop correct shooting form at a young age. He ended up a four year varsity high school player that was a leading scorer on his team and a player of the game in the state championship tournament. We give a lot of his shooting ability credit to this ball. Young kids develop poor habits due to balls that are too heavy for correct form. This ball helps to fix that problem…add hard work and the combination can lead to great things on the court.
Review: Great quality at a good price. Very durable!! - Arrived quickly and damage free! Our Grandson loves it! Works perfectly Exact color. Holds air like it should. Look and feel are high quality.
