1.0 out of 5 starsThe paint on this ball is cheap and easily rubs off.
By Ken on August 25, 2016
Style Name: Spike Ball Verified Purchase
The ball I received came with the paint worn off of most of the spikes; it's just white underneath. The ball looked trashy and used, so I couldn't use it as a gift. I never would have bought it had I seen it in person, and it is certainly not worth the $12 I paid for it. I tried to return it two times, both times I got an automated asking for pictures, I sent the pictures but the seller never followed through with any instructions on how to return the item. B/c of the non-existent customer service, I will avoid this seller in the future. I would not buy this spikey ball again b/c the color comes from just a light coating of paint. There are spikey balls that have just two colors (one for the ball and one for the spikes) those are much better b/c the colors do not wear off of them.

My daughter demanded a rainbow bouncy ball for Christmas. This is what I got and it was approved with flying colors. Ha! She loves it. Great quality ball. It can be used for tons of things. Really lightweight. Okay to have in the house.

5.0 out of 5 starsLight and bright - perfect for younger children instant love
By Gordon B. West on April 1, 2016
Style Name: Playground Ball Verified Purchase
Kids love bright colors and that made this an instant hit. Very light and about soccer ball size makes this very easy to play with for younger children. This is not a commercial weight playground ball, but that is not what I wanted; I wanted something for my toddler. And he fell in love with it at first sight. First thing he did was toss it across the room but because it's light it doesn't have a heavy impact. He's played with it outside and seems very happy with it. I would not recommend this for older children or teens for heavy play, I doubt it would survive someone intentionally stomping on it. This is totally perfect for what I wanted

5.0 out of 5 starsI really LOVE this ball
By C. Sibila on July 6, 2016
Style Name: Playground Ball Verified Purchase
I really LOVE this ball! It is so colorful and so much fun to kick around!! I play with it a lot, and it's basically part of my life! I really like how bouncy it is, and I love the texture! I would recommend this for everyone because it's guaranteed fun for everyone! I bought this for $9.56, and I think that is a very reasonable price for such an awesome ball!
Sincerely, Andrew Merle Sibila, age 9.
P.S. My twin brother, Nathan Sibila, loves the ball too, and sometimes plays four square with it!

5.0 out of 5 starsFranklin Sports Provides Psychedelic Fun for Family and Friends of All Ages!
By J. B. Hoyos VINE VOICE on October 11, 2016
Style Name: Basketball Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
On a Wednesday evening, my girlfriend Tammy and I took the Franklin Sports 8.5" PVC Vibe Playground Basketball to our church. It has a field that is approximately one-thousand yards long and two-hundred yards wide. There is one portable basket ball goal in the corner of the parking lot. Tammy and I dribbled the basketball on the tarmac, passing it to each other, and shot hoops. It is a mini-basketball that is easy to grip and throw. We’re both over fifty and had a great deal of fun tossing it to each other on the tarmac and in the field. We took a break and let a group of girls who are members of Girls in Action (GAs) play with it.

The children loved it. They thought the basketball itself, with its psychedelic colors, was pretty. Afraid it would become “lost,” I took the basketball back from the girls and Tammy and I finished playing with it. This basketball made me feel athletic and young again. I have a mini-football that was also manufactured by Franklin Sports. Tammy and I have enjoyed immensely playing with it; it was our enjoyment that convinced me to also request the mini-basketball from the Amazon Vine Program. Tammy and I are going to have a lot of fun playing with Franklin Sports’ mini-football and mini-basketball.

With their psychedelic colors, the balls don’t blend in well with their environments, making them much easier to find. Tony, my grandnephew, loves playing with these balls with his father, Solomon. Next week, everyone in my household (there are six of us) plan to go to a nearby park for a family outing and take these Franklin Sports balls with us. Both balls arrived completely whole and fully inflated. Neither one of them has needed air added. I highly recommend them for the young and young at heart. They have a way of bringing friends and family together for clean, wholesome fun.

4.0 out of 5 starsNice texture and appear to be well made after lots of play!
By GadgetFamily TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on December 14, 2016
Style Name: Basketball Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
We have a few different varieties of these PVC Vibe balls and they are all great! The colors make it easy to see and retrieve the balls when they roll into the bushes and such. The PVC makes the balls easy to use, even when wet from moisture in the grass or the constant drizzle we live with here in the Northwest. They come mostly inflated, but we had to add a little air before using the first time and have had to inflate once after a significant temperature drop.

The kids love these and there is no confusion at the end of playtime with friends, as our rainbow colored balls are easy to identify!

4.0 out of 5 starsFun Colored Basketball
By JMQ VINE VOICE on October 5, 2016
Style Name: Basketball Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
This review is for the Franklin Sports 8.5" Vibe Play Balls- Basketball: (The reviews for all of the different balls available seem to be all together, so this review is for the Basketball).

What a fun colored basketball! It arrived inflated, with packaging around it so you could wrap it up & give it as a gift.

The ball itself weighs about 7.2 ounces. It bounces well. It looks like it wouldn't, but it does. It is a soft material, like the dodge balls were made out of back when we were in school.

These colored balls are fun & in style. While I was out on a walk yesterday, I saw a kids soccer team out playing with all multi-colored balls like this. The kids were probably 5-7 years old. This is a fun colored ball that would be good for ages 3+ to adults. I give it a solid 4 stars. Happy Playing! :)

Short Lifespan ~ this ball lasted less than 3 days in a classroom. It leaked air and soon deflated. Poor construction seemed to be the cause of the problem

Ball is more of a kickball.. it's soft and we can use it for the kids but was not what we thought we was getting. Ball is about half the size of actual basketball.. Read more

Kids love it! Very bouncy and fun to play with, and the bright colors, besides being cheerful, make it easy to find when they inevitably kick it into the bushes.
