Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The ball is half the weight of a normal weight basketball, and it is the same size as a regular ball. We have a portable hoop (filled with sand) that has a poly-carbonate backboard.

It challenges your reflexes. Work out with it by dribbling one hand for 30s-1m and then switching hands. When he switches to a regular ball, his dribbling is quicker and more controlled.

The whole team likes using it. Endless variations for use with younger kids up to college age. For the chest passes though the younger one would drop it more because she was a little afraid of the weight coming in too fast.

Cons

I was dissatisfied when i received the heavy training basketball. Shape is lopsided and internal weight is unbalanced. Doesn't bounce straight like a basketball but more like a football.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

This heavy ball forces you to be more intentional about dribbling and builds strength and endurance when paired with good form and time

Increased forearm fatigue throughout drills, which increases finger dexterity, feel, and control.

Once i got used to this ball, dribbling a normal ball makes it felt like i'm dribbling a balloon.

At first we weren’t even sure it was heavy weight and then noticed it is bc needed air, so we couldn’t use right away.

Price

I may have gotten lucky, but we found a discounted price.

Considering that this is the time frame when a normal wilson ball wears out, i say this ball worth the price.

Shipping

My first order was stolen/lost and the seller sent a replacement fast.
