"For our youth group, these dodgeballs have been fantastic. I’ve ordered two sets, and they’re holding up tremendously. The size is perfect for kids and adults. They’re pliable enough for smaller hands, but still high-density, so they throw well without curving too much. After a year, they’ve maintained their color and firmness."

"I love these dodgeballs! They might lack some of the traditional dodgeball feel and can be a bit tricky to aim, but my students enjoy them because they can be crazier during play and they hurt less.
