Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Perfect ball for 4-6 year olds I bought the ball in Summer '09 for my 3 year old because I was going to enroll him in the local buddy basketball league for 4-6 year old and I wanted to get a head start on his form. This is the perfect ball for that age group and should really be considered as the standard ball for leagues that service that age group. This ball weighs 25% less than standard youth basketballs which enables the youngest ballplayers to shoot in a manner than more closely resembles the style of shot that the will use later in their careers. If anyone has ever noticed how most young players shoot a basketball they have noticed that the put the ball next to their ear and fling moreso than shoot the basketball and it ends up going off to the side. This ball allows them to keep a more natural shot. In summary, I think that this a great new type basketball for the youth market and feel like you will see more and more leagues adopt it. I give it a 10 out of 10. Rating: - JanGilbert My 7 and 5 year-old granddaughters love this item and it's just the right size for their hands. Rating: - Nice Basketball Bought this for my 6 year old daughter as she was starting a basketball program at her school.Perfect fit for smaller hands as it is not as big and or heavy as an official ball.My daughter just LOVES the "rainbow" colors of the ball.This is well made and except for this size feels and plays like a REAL basketball.Recommended. Rating: - Grandad is a hero Bought this for my one of my grand daughters. She loves it...though maybe not as much as her dad, who I fear has appropriated it for his driveway basketball.
