Norpro Grip-EZ Melon Baller

It did what I needed it to do. Ball melon. Perfect.

This "baller" is sturdy and has a nice grip. I use it to snack on watermelon right from the fruit. I also use it for ice cream bites when a whole bowl is too much.

This is a pretty good product but a couple minor flaws. 1. I have large hands, I think it is just a little bit too big. It feels a bit clunky because of it's large size (my opinion). 2. The scoop size is just a little bit too shallow. It feels as if you have to twist a bit more than you should have to in order to fully sever the ball from the melon. I can get used to both of these things. The grip still feels nice. My old melon baller was double-sided and had a small wooden handle, and both of those things were just uncomfortable. This is a massive improvement from that one. This product feels pretty solid all around.

Not sure if it's dishwasher safe, but since its just for fruit, a quick rinse does the job.

i used this to ball apple pieces and it works nicely! very sharp. however, since I was putting so much pressure on it to break the apple's skin, the handle is ever slightly bent away from the head now, but it can be bent back into place easily. i'm sure that if you were using it for balling melons it would be perfect!

Great kitchen gadget. Sturdy & handles well

Grip is nice, neck is a little flimsy

I can now ball with the best of them. I’m a baller. I broke my last baller because it was weak - this one is sturdy and comfortable. And makes great balls.
