I was looking for a set, and wanted to balance not ending up with cheap, light balls against paying a bundle. I bought this set largely based on the prior review that says the balls have heft. That review didn't disappoint as the balls not only have heft, but rank on par with the best set I had previously played. The carry case is very nice too and even includes a measuring string with a base that fits around the pea for accurate measuring when necessary.

My family loves this set. The Bocce balls initially felt a bit heavy, but we are Bocce novices and quickly adjusted. Composition wise they are similar to pool balls. Sometimes the balls land on other balls which resulted in some minor chips. However, in general the balls seem very tough and resilient and able to withstand the collisions without any evidence of damage, e.g. cracks or scuff marks. The carrying case is adequate to carry and protect the balls. However, The set is heavy to pick up. I would recommend this set to both novice and experienced players.

The first time I used the set on grass in my yard and they were great. Then 2nd time I took them to the beach. My gf had the red balls and I had the blue balls. (no pun intended) She could only throw the ball about 8 feet because they are too heavy for her. About 15 min into the game, the impact made a big chunk of the red ball to crack out. I called the company to explain the situation and get a replacement. They asked me to send them an email with pictures. I took a bunch of pics, include the other colors which looked brand new, and emailed them to customer service. I then followed up 3 weeks later. I NEVER got a replacement ball or any communication back from her, even though I followed up. I even called a month later by phone and she was 'unavailable'. In short, their customer service is NON-existent and Park Sun DOES NOT stand behind their products. If you read the reviews, another person had a red ball crack on their first or 2nd use. BUYER BEWARE. I paid extra $ to buy this premium set and it did not last 2 hrs of use. Unfortunately, it was past 30 days so I couldn't return it to Amazon, whom I'm confident would have done the right thing. I will NEVER buy a Park Sun product again!

We've enjoyed playing bocce with friends and were looking for a durable and nicely weighted starter set to get some more experience with the game. The balls get scratched up after a few rounds and the color fades a bit, but we are confident that the set will last for a couple of years at least until we are willing to spend more money on a more professional set. A good value!

I was very pleased with this bocce set. We have purchased others that were flimsy and poorly made but this is no lightweight set. Each ball weighs almost 3 pounds so it would not be good for young children. We have played with the set many times and the balls are holding up well (only minor surface scratches).

we are so looking forward to using this over the spring and summer this year. i have purchased bocce ball sets in the past and this one sure has the heft that will make it comparable to proper sets, but without the huge price.

This is a gorgeous set of bocce balls, that's really all there is to it. Gorgeous and functional and great.

It's really almost painful to start playing with them because you realize they'll never be quite as pristine again, but then you start playing and realize that the set not only looks great, but it plays very well too!

Enjoy them!

I ordered a bocce ball set which arrived as promised, It was in good shape, and it was exactly what I wanted. I had tried to order another set previously from someone else, and they never informed me they were out of stock, so I was upset and went to Amazon and got what I wanted, when I wanted and and even a lesser price. I was most pleased.

Was very happy with the set until an hour into the first day playing the red ball cracked. Emailed company a week ago to see if they would replace it but have not heard anything back.

This is a good set. Balls are heavy enough and sturdy. Our family is having a lot of fun playing with this set in the backyard this summer.
