The Official Silent Basketball PRO (Size 7) – Protected Cover Indoor Basketball for Quiet Dribbling – Airless Indoor Training Foam Basket Ball with Cover – Ready to Play for All Ages (29.5")

My son loves this for practicing indoors. Has a good bounce. Material is study and I like that there is a cover so the ball doesn’t disintegrate and get everywhere (unlike some other balls we researched). Good value for the money.

Smooth outside no foam feeling. Dripples just like a basketball.

I recently purchased this silent basketball so my kids could practice indoors with the Dribble Up app. While the app requires a yellow ball, this one isn’t fully yellow, but it still works well for their training. The biggest advantage is that it allows them to practice without disturbing the neighbors.That said, the ball is quite pricey, and its surface isn’t completely smooth—some grooves stick out. However, this doesn’t seem to affect the bounce, and my kids absolutely love it. Overall, it’s a great product, and I only wish I had something like this when I was younger!

For any parent that hates the sound of balls dripping around your house- get this! It has a mesh to protect from falling apart unlike previous silent basketball purchases

Oh how my son loves to play basketball. And of course, in the past, he’d always start dribbling away right as i put the baby to sleep. With this ball, he can dribble to his hearts content with minimal noise. It seems to be pretty sturdy and of good quality. It’s super lightweight and soft. The size is a bit bigger than I thought, though. Overall good purchase given the price point.

Nothing to really say about it. It's foam with a fabric covering. It's silent because of the foam part of course. The grip is not so well. It's literally a covering on the ball. Not too impressed with it. And you do hear it, it's just not that loud bouncing from rubber that's heard!

My niece & nephew are starting to get into basketball and I ordered this so they could practice their ball handling skills indoors without too much disruption.This is basically a basketball-sized foam ball. So it is indeed very quiet. The foam is fairly dense so it does provide pretty good bounce. But it also has its shortcomings.As I mentioned, it provides PRETTY good bounce -- but it doesn't bounce quite like a basketball. You definitely need to use more power to bounce it. And since it lacks grip (purposely apparently) it does make dribbling more of a challenge. For those who seek to increase their dribbling strength while honing their grip on the ball, this will likely aid in that. But for beginners trying to LEARN ball handling, this doesn't seem to be a good fit.The other main flaw is the "ribbed" portion. Whereas a basketball has the grooves that connect the different segments, this instead has a convex seam that connects the segments. That seam makes it bounce sightly oddly at times and doesn't feel natural against the hands.And that about covers all the attributes I can think of. Overall, it's a great idea and almost well executed. I'm sure among these foam balls, this is probably one of the higher quality units. But it needs a little more work to be the real ball handling aid it wants to be. So if this is for players who are already decent at dribbling and want to improve, I'd at least recommend looking at other brands as well. But if this is meant to be a gift for beginner players, I'd say seek another product.

Great bounce, feels like a real basketball but since I bought the one that’s harder to grip it makes it harder to control 10/10. Good for practicing dribbles.
