Rookie Gear 27.5" Basketball | Lighter to Help Develop Technique | Designed for Indoor & Outdoor Play

The basketball is the best! My grandson loves it! He is able to grip the ball well & shoots like a pro! 😉 There were 2 needles gifted by the seller to air the ball when needed. Great buy! Thank you for the accurate & timely delivery.

Arrived quickly and damage free! Our Grandson loves it! Works perfectly Exact color. Holds air like it should. Look and feel are high quality.

Bright colors

Perfect for a new player learning the game. Very light and easy to handle. Arrived perfectly inflated. Unusual colors make it easy to identify at the gym when it is mixed among the other basketballs.

I am giving it four stars only because the original ball kept leaking requiring me to pump it up every day. Since I had bought it as a gift for my grandson, the 30 day Amazon return policy had expired. I reached out to Spalding and sent them the proper information including pics. They are sending me a new basketball. It is great to see a company stand behind their product. Kudos to Spalding! The basketball is a quality ball and a perfect fit for my 7 year old grandson. Very happy with its performance.

Great ball for young basketball players

We bought this ball for a nephew recently because we bought one for our son about 15 years ago. Our son used this ball to develop correct shooting form at a young age. He ended up a four year varsity high school player that was a leading scorer on his team and a player of the game in the state championship tournament. We give a lot of his shooting ability credit to this ball. Young kids develop poor habits due to balls that are too heavy for correct form. This ball helps to fix that problem…add hard work and the combination can lead to great things on the court.

Something is terribly off with this ball. It’s not symmetrical and it doesn’t bounce properly. It comes inflated in an Amazon box (no Spaulding packaging). I love that it is lighter because it helps the little ones make baskets in a 10 foot goal, but it’s no use to beginners when it bounces in every direction when they are trying to dribble. I am returning it for a refund. I picked up another brand at Dick’s and the difference is noticeable. The new one bounces straight back up to the dribbling hand rather than at an angle in every direction.

This ball must have come with a tear in it, because it leaks air and we have to re pump it at after every single bball practice! It just hits the ground with a hard thud. So annoying. I’ve missed the return window, and now I’m stuck with a flat basketball. Can someone from Spalding please contact me?! I have no way of contacting this company on the Amazon page.

Buen producto! pero esperaba un poco de mayor calidad del material, que no es malo pero si deseaba mayor agarre para los niños habiendo alternativas más económicas.

Perfect basketball for a 6-8 year old. My kid loves it!

Marca de calidad ,no hace falta decir más .
