Customers say

Customers like the quality, size and appearance of the basketball. For example, they mention it's a good size for little hands, the colorful design is very appealing and fun for kids, and the weight is great for younger players. Customers are also satisfied with value, and grip. That said, some complain about the air pressure of the ball. They say it loses air after about 24 hours and they have to add air way too often.
