Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

We bought this for our Grandson for Christmas and he uses it in a regular basis and is very happy with it.
We like Spalding very much and will continue to use their products.
I have not been disappointed with my choice. It fits his hand nicely so he can learn to dribble the ball and it is a little lighter as the specifications indicate, so he can practice his hoops. He plays with it on the driveway and it performs well. This basketball is made of a composite leather and even though I know nothing about basketballs, my husband was very pleased with my choice. It is just the size our son needs until he has mastered some basic skills of the game.
