    Bounces nicely when dribbling. Made of excellent material that is easy to grasp with fingertips/hands. It's also a good fit for my 10 year old. He started to get interested in learning basketball, so I'll be training him with this. Keeps him off the gaming electronics! Proud mama! Thanks, Target, for your exceptional services and products!
