User questions & answers

Question:	So I've had balls like this before but they've always shed and left flakes everywhere. Has that been a problem with this ball
Answer:	We have had one since Christmas, and the one we just got from Amazon has not been used yet. So far, both balls have no problems or defects.
Question:	OK, is it 4 or 5 inches? can't be both
Answer:	Actually, under "Product Details" it says the dimensions are "Product Dimensions: 4 x 4 x 4 inches ; 3.2 ounces" which confused me as well. Apparently it's not even a BALL, it's a bloody 4x4x4 inch CUBE! (Gonna be tricky to dribble the thing!) Seems the person who "answered" this valid question isn't any better at reading specs than the manufacturer is at writing them. ;)
Question:	Is the foam ball better for noise? I'm in an apartment and the inflatable ball is too loud. I'm hoping this one will reduce the noise enough to play
Answer:	The SKLZ heavier inflatable ball sounds 3x louder than this foam ball, in my house. I bounced each ball on carpet in my living room on the main floor and measured the sound level directly below in my basement using an app on my smart phone. The foam ball sound was roughly 65 dB and the inflatable ball was roughly 75 dB. This is 10 dB difference, which based on Wikipedia is 3x the sound level to our ears (10x the pressure level). Your situation and floors may vary. I suspect it's louder on wood floors. And one's pounding feet may be louder if jumping around. So, the best solution is to invite your downstairs neighbor to come upstairs and play a game of basketball; anyone can play.
Question:	What is the weight of the ball
Answer:	The weight of this SKLZ Pro Mini Swish Foam Ball is 3.3 ounces as measured on my digital scale. By comparison, the weight of the SKLZ Pro Mini Hoop Ball (which is a heavier inflated ball of roughly the same size, not a foam ball) is 5.6 ounces. So this foam ball is much lighter and will not do as much damage as it bounces off walls, lamps, and pictures in your room.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the ball come with a pump
Answer:	No. It was small and deflated.. not a good buy
Question:	Does this bounce
Answer:	Yes it is a basketball that bounces in the house if mom is not looking!
Question:	What gauge needle is required to inflate this ball
Answer:	Just the normal most common needle for basketballs and footballs
Question:	Is this same size as little tikes ball
Answer:	No, it's much smaller, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of the size of the LT ball. It's also a piece of crap that doesn't hold air. The foam version is better.

User questions & answers

Question:	can i dunk on it
Answer:	Yes, don't hang on the rim or hold the rim
Question:	Is the ball included with the hoop set
Answer:	There is a ball included, a deflated rubber ball that will beat the heck out of the finishes on your doors and walls. I didn't even inflate it. I purchased several 5" foam balls to use instead.
Question:	Did the guy in the picture "Swish" it? Is it "swishable
Answer:	Hello, Yes, it looks like the picture shows them "Swishing" the basketball. Thank you, Customer Service, Office Playground
Question:	how do you mount it on wall
Answer:	It's ready as shipped to be mounted on a door, with the clips/hooks in the back gapped at an inch and 5/8 to hang on the top of most interior doors.Those clips are attached to the backboard with screws, which could be removed and then wood screws could be driven through those holes into a wall.This would require wall anchors or plywood screwed into the wall studs to which the backboard could then be attached, as the spacing of the clips are not the typical 16" of most wall studs.

User questions & answers

Question:	My ball needs air can I pump it up with a regular pump and would that take away from the weight
Answer:	You can pump it up It’s not going to effect the ball
Question:	Does it come deflated
Answer:	No, it comes inflated. But you may need to touch it up like any ball.
Question:	Eventually getting the heavy ball, but any thoughts on whether I should get the official or light as a small ball
Answer:	FWIW, the smaller balls actually teach better ball control. Cycle through the three and watch the progression. You must have a set of dribbling drills in place to see better ball handling though.
Question:	can you use this ball outdoor
Answer:	Absolutely. For the price that I paid for this ball I would not use it outdoors. Great ball to have. Helps with ball handling speed. Just too valuable to use outdoors.

User questions & answers

Question:	would this fit a grown man with somewhat of a belly
Answer:	I think it would fit up to about 32" waiste. There's not a lot of "give" to it. Not very stretchy.
Question:	how tight can you make the waistband? My son is 7 and built like a toothpick
Answer:	You can make the waistband really tight to stay on, but the problem is the ball staying on. The grips that hold the ball come apart extremely easy. I would not recommend this product.
Question:	After one kicks it, does the ball return in a way that could be used to practice as a keeper
Answer:	Yes. I would extend the cord to the furthest length. The keeper can practice punting the ball and the return ball with come back bouncing, or the can kick it off the ground and the ball will return lower. The harder you kick it the harder it returns. My children (ages 8, 11, and 13) use it with every aspect of soccer, from kicks and punts to throw-ins and trapping. I have even allowed them to use it in the house with the cord shortened all of the way to reduce the distance the ball is kicked and with added instructions for them get the ball on the ground and not to kick too hard.
Question:	Would this work for Volleyball practice as well
Answer:	I'm going to say yes for two reasons. First, I saw my granddaughter using hers to practice serving. Second,SKLZ sells one for volleyball and it looks pretty much the same.

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm not a sports person but my girlfriend brother plays college baseball, would this be ok as small fun Christmas gift? or will he break the thing
Answer:	If not used properly, the cable can become jammed at the end where height adjustment of the ball is made. That's what happened to the portable trainer I have when used by my son's 13/14yr old teammates. A college hitter shouldn't have that problem. As long as contact with the ball is proper and consistent, he can get hundreds of repetitions. I also recommend not leaving it outside where the weather can cause the ball to deteriorate. Fun gift though.
Question:	Does this work with the SKLZ Hit-A-Aw baseball swing trainer pole
Answer:	The u bolt that attaches the upper cable of the baseball has a captive nut inside the pole. It cannot be removed unless you cut the cable. This will not work in the baseball trainer without significant modification.
Question:	Is this item come with pole? Or what is exactly deliver for this item
Answer:	This item is only what you see in the picture. It does not come with the pole. It is designed to be attached to an established pole, tree or the SKLZ swing trainer.
Question:	my basketball goal pole is too big... about 5in square. Any Idea on how to install it
Answer:	I used a pole from a chain link fence and just drove that into the ground. they are pretty cheap at Lowes or Home Depot

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a curious cat who likes to scratch and climb on things. Will he pop the ball or is it sturdy enough to withstand cats
Answer:	Not Cat friendly. It can take abuse but if you have an active cat with sharp claws it's only a matter of time. With that said if you can store the ball away you'll be okay. I was able to keep mine in my tiny room space when I was in Afghanistan with no issues.
Question:	The stem is stuck inside the ball. Any ideas how to get it out
Answer:	Usually you can use a credit card or something thin but sturdy to work underneath the Pin and that should help you loosen it enough to pull it out.
Question:	is this ball black or yellow
Answer:	It is yellow
