Review on Enhanced Performance SKLZ Pro Mini Hoop with 5-inch Foam Basketball by Michael Lara

I bought all 3: Brown (default), Blue and Green. Of these, blue was used constantly (every other day), green 2nd, and brown very rarely (perhaps twice a month). In general, as you can see from the photos, they have deteriorated surprisingly quickly. They have been in the property for 9 months (the blue one was the one I bought first to check the quality, it's just been 1 year). The hands down blue had the best grip, the green came second (almost the same quality as the blue), the brown was smooth and had a much smaller grip that was less fun to hold and use. I wish they had lasted a little longer as I am nearing the decision to re-order (3) more of what will be a nearly $20 refill each year. I think the brown bullet is definitely from a different batch/much lower quality. It looks as flaky as the blue, but the brown has hardly been played with. The balls are always kept indoors and never abused. The quality says "Made in China" which is correct. The blue one I liked the most says "MIDE IN CHINA". I would like to buy more blue balls than high quality brown balls on any given day. a brand i could have tried but they blocked it.
