Overview
Teachers and coaches who run foam ball games get a molded foam ball with a proprietary polyurethane coating that does not sting. The molded build has no stitching, and the coating gives a tactile grip.
The weight gives it carry for throwing games, and the coating is described by the maker as virtually tear-proof. It is sold as one ball in one color, so a class set means buying several.
Who it's for
Middle and high school gyms and throwing games suit a heavier foam ball. Younger kids and anyone needing a full set should look at lighter packs.
Pros and cons
- Heavier ball for throwing distance
- Molded build with no stitching
- Non-sting grip surface
- Single ball only
- One color per listing
- Too heavy for young kids
- Tear-proof claim is the maker's
Performance notes
A foam core with a molded polyurethane skin spreads the force of a hit, and the grip coating helps a thrower hold the ball. The extra weight over lighter trainers gives more carry but a firmer feel on impact.
