Optimum Street Basketball

As expected we had to pump the ball up from flat when it arrived. We have had the ball two weeks now though and although my son hasn't used it a great deal it has faded badly. This is very disappointing after a fortnight although the ball is robust, unlike others we have bought which go flat quickly.

The ball arrives flat, so make sure you have a pump and needle to inflate it.The design is great as is the overall feel BUT it is rather prone to deflating quite a bit when left unused.Perhaps a little overpriced given you can buy from the high Street cheaper.Don't think I'd buy another.

Too small. Slightly bigger than a tennis ball.I wanted a slightly smaller ball than a full size as it was for my 9 year old. But he can’t play basketball ball with this. I assumed because of the price it was a decent size. It should be a lot cheaper.Easy enough to blow up. Nice quality. My son actually likes it.

It arrived in good time, inflated ok and worked well however, this basketball popped after first contact with a surface that was not completely flat. Ideal maybe for a perfect scenario in a court with no stones but take care in your gardens which is where you might be likely to use this for the foreseeable future!

My son loves this. Arrived not inflated, I expected it but just in case other buyers are wondering, requires a ball pump. Sturdy, good bounce and grip and looks pretty unique as well. Very happy.

We pumped the balls up from flat when they arrived. We have had the balls two weeks and although my son hasn't used them a great deal the 7 has faded badly. This is very disappointing...yet the midi is ok...

Dreadful product, I bought 2 of these balls, both were sticky/tacky to the touch and the decals were already peeling before being pumped up.

Looks good and mini size is good for young children, though 1 of the 2 balls was splitting at the seams when I blew it up.Had that been the only one I'd purchased I'd be quite disappointed, hence only 3 stars.
