Spalding High Bounce Ball

Bounces great. When dropped from five feet it will bounce up to about four and one half feet. It has become great to bounce around. If you throw it at a door it will hit the door, then the ground, and then right back to your hand. If you hit the ground first it will then hit the door before bouncing back to you.The whole family likes the ball. I am often saying who grabbed dad's balls. Or where are my balls. I have to tell the kids to keep their hands off my balls. My wife got annoyed with my ball in put it in a vise. I got it back just fine. I am not going to let my wife to put my balls in a vise.I really wants the balls Rocky had. But, that company went out of business. So, that is why you don't see balls like Rocky had anymore.And, for the sake of knowing this is from wikipedia:The Bouncy ball was invented by a California chemist named Norman Stingley. In 1965, Stingley spent his spare time experimenting with rubber. He compressed various scraps of synthetic rubber together under about 3500 pounds of pressure per square inch. The result was a compressed rubber ball with an extreme resilience and high bounce.

Balls this size used by adults are usually to relieve boredom or for exercising/strengthening your grip. This ball is perfect for both. Yes, it's a toy that is the right size and not so heavy as to cause damage to a wall and soft enough to be used to squeeze and build your grip. Good choice.

I love this ball. It bounces really well and hits the surface pretty well. I actually use this to hit the ceiling to let my upstairs neighbors know that they’re loud at 1 am every night. It shuts them up pretty quick because it bounces hard when it reaches the ceiling and it can be loud enough for them to hear. If it wasn’t for my upstairs neighbors, I’d use the ball for other reasons. I think it’s pretty good to use it to play fetch with a dog. They’d greatly appreciate it.

AWESOME.This is exactly what I was looking for. Wanted to hit a ball against the wall at work during breaks to move around a bit, and this is perfect for handball / wallball! Met some pretty lady asked to join me. Before long, I'll start organizing wall ball tournaments at work to play in the courtyard. hahaha A++ light / bouncy (rubber material with hollow inside. There are no holes or spouts to inject/release air)+ soft, powdery touch makes for easy gripping+ squishy enough to be used as a stress / squeeze ball+ love the sound as it bounces (therapeutic). (sounds like a tennis ball that was smacked hard with a racket)It's so bouncy I accidentally hit it over the wall and lost it. Time to replace! I wish they'd come in more colors so they can be more easily located.SIDENOTE: For what it is, it's kinda pricey, but it's a good product.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve always heard about this famous “Spaldeen” ball and couldn’t wait to get one. Like othets, I grew up playing all sorts of games with the perfect bouncy ball, but new had one of these. Decades later, I still think a ball with a high bounce is cool to “play” with. I had previously ordered a set of three multi-colored rubber balls, much like a racquet ball and they are great. When this ball came in, costing more, I expected a cool ball, with a lot of bounce. Nope ! This ball does not bounce well at all. Even a blue racquet ball bounces higher, especially the red ones. I’m very dissappointed and started to return it, but didn’t. I’m guessing the old originals were much better than these newer ones, much like the crappy new “Superballs”. But, I never had an original, so I can’t make a comparison, but these don’t bounce high at all, compared to other types I have.UPDATE - Many have asked about the exact size of this ball, so I posted a video with several other options for comparison.Size -7 13/16" (circumference)60mm (diameter)

I am a volunteer lunch parent at school one day a week. I would bring my Pinky hi bounce rubber ball to just bounce as I watched the kids or the kids would take it to play. It was getting dry and chewed up from the asphalt. I found this ball and it bounces higher and has been standing up to the parking lot very well.

Trash. This is after 2 days of bouncing around the house while the wife is out. Really crappy quality. Deserves zero stars.
