Good grip for a ball of this category, which, however, almost disappeared after 2 and something months on outdoor courts (with use max 2-3 times a week). Its bounce borders on the ridiculous, making it particularly difficult to handle. Maybe it's good for 7-8 year old kids without demands, clearly unsuitable for older children who are learning to dribble. We tried it to see if it offered something better than another brand of ball we've been buying for years, unfortunately it turned out to be far below expectations.
