The Official Silent Basketball | Size 7 (29.5") ; Airless Foam Basketball for Quiet Dribbling and Indoor Training

The media could not be loaded. I have used quite a few different silent basketballs. The Official Silent Basketball has the best feel in my opinion and is of better quality and material than the others I have tried.It has been a few weeks of consistent use, and I have not experienced any problems with the ball.I have seen some reviews that say the ball does not bounce well or that it begins to fall apart. That has NOT been a problem for me.The listing is actually quite accurate. It bounces about 85% of a real basketball, it is in fact made of high density foam, it is slightly lighter than a real basketball, and it should only be used on hard floor.I believe that some of the complaints for this product are because customers are not actually reading the full description or taking the advice of the seller on how to properly use.I have used the ball on hard floor only, no carpet or rug. And kept it away from any pets. Since this product is made from foam, clearly it should be handled with more care than a leather ball.This product has actually achieved what I wanted from it. Indoor dribbling training without making a ton of noise. As a training tool, it really does work and helps with ball handling. I'm glad I found this product and went with the WAWAWEWA version of it. It's definitely worth the price.This ball would be a great gift for younger kids and teens looking to practice during the off season or practicing after hours and not disturb the whole house.Just make sure to follow the instructions in the listing. Specifically avoid pets and carpets. You will be all good and the ball will not have any issues as far as I can tell.Also, this ball is noticeably heavier than the other non-brand balls that I have bought. For all these reasons, I give the product 5 stars and would definitely recommend.READ THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND AVOID CARPET!

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the silent basketball from Amazon, and unfortunately, within a few weeks of use, it fell apart. While the product itself was quite disappointing, I must admit that Amazon's return policy added an ironic twist to the whole experience.First and foremost, let's discuss the product itself. From the moment it arrived, I had reservations about its quality. The build felt flimsy and cheap, and it seemed like it wouldn't withstand regular usage. Alas, my concerns proved valid when the product literally fell apart after minimal use. The materials used were clearly subpar, and it was evident that corners had been cut during production.However, the real irony lies in Amazon's return policy. Upon contacting their customer support regarding the faulty item, I was informed that they would gladly replace it with a new one as long as I returned the original within 30 days. While this offer seemed reasonable at first, I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. Here I was, holding a broken product that I had paid for, and Amazon was willing to send me a new one, as long as I returned the faulty one promptly. If I failed to do so, I'd be charged for both items.On one hand, I appreciate Amazon's effort to rectify the situation by offering a replacement. However, it raises some concerns about the quality control of the products they offer. If they are aware that a significant number of their products are prone to falling apart, wouldn't it make more sense to improve their manufacturing standards rather than dealing with returns and exchanges?Additionally, the inconvenience of having to package and return the broken product within a limited timeframe can be quite bothersome. It's not always easy to find the time to visit a post office or a courier service, especially when the responsibility lies with the customer for a faulty product they didn't cause.In conclusion, the silent basketball I purchased from Amazon was a letdown in terms of quality and durability. While their return policy is commendable in theory, the situation becomes ironic when you realize that their solution to a faulty product is to replace it with another one, as long as you return the original within 30 days. This approach may be convenient for some, but it ultimately highlights the need for improved quality control and product standards.

Bought this for my daughter. Doesn't bounce quite as easy an a properly I flated ball but that's good so she can dibble with her rm instead of just her wrist. Pretty quite, maybe not for someone with a resident underneath them

I feel dosent bounce high enough and slippery good idea good enough for light inside practice

They range from ages 3 to 20. The ball is so soft and they haven't broken anything in the house....yet!!

I was on the fence on whether this product would work as described. I was actually surprised when we received it. It really does bounce indoors similar to a normal basketball and is super quiet.My son actually loves it and dribbles everywhere around the house.A few things to note:- It is best to use on hard surface flooring like wood or tile. It works so-so on carpet and rugs.- The hole on the bottom is not an actual hole where you inflate. I learned the hard way. Its just there for looks.- You get about 85% of the bounce of a normal basketball. They state that fact in the description above.We haven't had any issues with durability yet. Will update post if it starts falling a part anytime soon.
