Review on Tytroy Basketball Football Playground Kickball by Steven Ferguson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality for the price.

Update: Our little German Shepherd mix LOVES these balls. He teeth straight and really likes the rough texture of sports balls. As long as they hold up well. Count on these balls when you are looking for new dog toys ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸปPro: These small sports balls are a good size for small children and medium to large dogs. Haven't let my dog play with them yet so I don't know how well they will hold up, but they seem quite thick/sturdy (especially the little green and soccer ball). If he somehow manages to punch holes in them, they're cheap enough that I can buy another set without bugging myself too much. They're also re-inflatable and come with their own little air pump (which has a hidden needle storage compartment on the back of the handle for safety!) so I'm hoping if he manages to let some air in I can just do it again - blow up! After trying them for a few weeks I can update this but so far they seem great for the price. Cons: When I first opened the packaging there was a slight smell of plastic and the balls have a bit of a smell of it, but I'm hoping that in a few days they will weather and the smell will go away. He's not THAT strong, so it's no big deal if he doesn't go away. Also, the balls don't seem to "bounce" much, I suspect it's partly because of what rubber/plastic they are made of and partly because I couldn't get them to inflate all the way, because I kept letting it air out a bit when I pulled the needle out. I'll ask my husband for help later to try and get them to bloat a little more and see if that helps. It doesn't really matter to the dog as I don't plan on hopping him much, but if you're looking for something with lots of hopping you might want to look elsewhere. Conclusion: This is a high quality product. at a good price. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap extra dog toy or who has young children who are not yet big enough to handle "real" sports balls. I almost gave 4 stars due to the lack of rebounds, but since they fit my needs and are such a great price (with pump included!) I can't complain. So five stars and a thumbs up from me ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Pros
  • Ball inflation and deflation instructions: Insert the needle into the air hole to inflate; Only insert the needle without the barrel of the drain pump.
Cons
  • Mostly ok, but...
