The ball feels just like a full-size NBA game ball, with a premium outdoor cover that provides a superior grip with every dribble. The ball also bounces better thanks to the Cross Traxxion two-panel construction. The panels result in 1/3 fewer channels, decreasing the surface undulation and helping the ball bounce truer and more consistent. And kids will love the official NBA game ball series graphics, which make the mini ball look just like the real thing.

 Feels like the real thing!Jan 09, 2011
By Kevin the Bargain Hunter
We recently got a pop-a-shot/indoor arcade basketball hoop which I've reviewed to death already.Lifetime Double-Shot Arcade Basketball System The balls that came with the system were okay, but half of them would deflate overnight. So I replaced all 7 of them with these mini spaldings causing the overall cost of my arcade basketball to skyrocket! But it's well worth it! They do not deflate overnight! These basketballs feel like the real thing. They are the universal pop-a-shot size which is 7 inch diameter, about 22 to 23" circumference, and in basketball accessory lingo, this ball is officially called SIZE 3. The size that boys High School, College and NBA use is SIZE 7. This ball is also perfect to get your toddler to start learning how to dribble.

Best mini ball I've foundJun 05, 2009
By K. Davison
I purchased this ball for my 21 month-old who is mad about basketball. It's the best quality I've found--a little larger and considerably heavier than the previous mini basketball balls we've purchased. I highly reccomend it but caution that it is quite heavy and would hurt if a toddler got hit or bonked in the head with it. You also need a bit of strength to heave it.

Great authentic toyJul 17, 2009
By P Lattimore
This is a great gift for a child who's parent loves to play basketball. It doesn't have the look or feel of a toy, but rather that of the real thing.

Spalding Mini Game ballMar 14, 2010
By W Craddock
Just right for a "tyke" that wants to play with a "real" basketball. This ball works with the small kiddie goals though it is heavier than the plastic balls that come with them so it would work best for 3 years and up (or talented future pro players).

 heavy for small children handsApr 27, 2011
By M. Duong
It's a bit heavy for small children hands, especially ones that have never played basketball before. I bought this ball but ended up putting it in the garage since I bought the Fisher-Price Grow-to-Pro Basketball and it also comes with a lighter ball.
