Can I use a standard, regular sized basketball with this hoop?

No. The hoop is about 8 inches in diameter - large enough for a mini basketball, but certainly not a full-sized one. It comes with a smaller (5") rubber basketball that works well with it.

It comes with a small ball that is good quality. My son uses tons of other ones, too. I don't think it's quite big enough for a standard ball, but very close.

no a ball comes with the hoop but its a mini basketball hoop for indoors so you can't fit a full sized ball through the hoop

No the hoop is not wide enough. However it comes with a small ball when you order the product.

Yes, you can take out a section to make it smaller. However, this will be difficult to do if you put tape around your hoop. Once the tape's on it has to stay together unless you want to remove the tape, make it smaller, and then retape it all over again. I found the tape was helpful because it gave the hoop a little grip and a little weight when I was beginning. Good luck and have fun.

This is not a mini basketball hoop, but it's not regulation size either. It's just slightly smaller than a regulation size hoop and comes with a slightly smaller than regulation basketball. It sounds like the Jr. would be a mini basketball hoop suitable for younger kids. Adults and teenagers alike love this hoop! Sturdy, well made, and has held up well to a lot of play over the last two and a half years. At first, I thought this hoop was a little bit expensive, but now I understand why. It's worth it, as it is much better than some of the others we've seen.

Regular tennis balls work in it, but please read the reviews before you purchase one.

I bought the spalding slam jam mini hoop when I bought the basketball, not sure of the rim size. You can look up the spalding slam jam mini hoop to verify the measurements. My grandson loves it.

Yes, it is very durable and malleable enough to be shaped into hoops, but i wouldnt rccomendt using it for hoops, its more of a mainline that you would run many 5/8th inch lines off. The 5/8th inch is standard drip tubing and is much better for puncturing and installing emitters.

not sure the difference between junior and this one...but this one does use a regular size basketball.

I haven't tried fitting a basket ball. But I have fit a size 5 soccer ball (27-28 inches) in the ball compartment without issue. While holding the size 5 soccer ball I have also been able to fit a size 4 soccer ball (25-26 inches) and 30 short practice cones in the main compartment at the same time. I would be willing to guess you will have no issues hold a basketball in there.

it's better to use a pool basketball a regular ball would be too big, the water basketball is a better size.

The size is perfect for a basketball but if yr making it round you just have to bake two cakes. Not necessary to buy 2 however if your baking a sheet cake you can but the 1 ball on top a nd then decorate.

No. I had to throw mine away after it came apart every time I tried to use it. Don't even bother with this poorly designed hoop! Left messages with customer service unreturned.

I think it would work fine because it has a couple different heights. but little tikes does sell a bigger hoop for the little bit older kids if you think he may outgrow this one fast

I really don't think so. Try calling a JANOME dealer or go online. There is a small hoop. Hoop C. Good luck.......

Hi, yes you can use/play with this Wilson Ball. It is an official game ball.

I think you can use regular baseballs but they are harder on the wheel and the wheel won't last as long and it will rip the leather off the ball after a couple of uses..If you buy the machine use the machine balls they work good.
