Overview
Teachers and camp counselors get a red polyurethane coated foam ball with a low density, low rebound core. The surface has no stitching and is designed not to sting.
The soft, slow-rebound foam suits indoor games and younger players. The ball is light, so it is not the pick for throwing distance, and it comes as a single ball.
Who it's for
A gym or a GaGa pit with kids and teens is the match. Older competitive players, or anyone needing several balls, should look at a heavier option or a multipack.
Pros and cons
- No-sting soft foam
- Low rebound, easy to control
- No stitching on the surface
- Light for young players
- Single ball only
- Too light for distance
- No inflation to adjust
- Color is fixed
Performance notes
A low rebound foam core slows the ball down after each bounce, which suits play in a small space. The coating gives grip and resists wear, and the light weight takes the sting out of hits.
