Hi The ball is reactive??

No, you should buy the path rising or chosen path if you want a reactive ball

As far as I can tell from using mine you have to hit something. You might be able to fit something other than a real ball but the capture triggers on an impact. When doing practices swings I do occasional hit the ground harder and it triggers. You might be more consistent with that than I am.

The ball is hollow and rigid. I don't know about retaining shape if it had a hole since mine doesn't have one.

The Spalding High-Bounce is exactly as advertised - a high-bouncing ball! :) It is about the size of a racquetball (just a hair bigger). If you drop the ball and bounce it (using very little force), it will bounce back to about waist level, allowing you to catch it easily. As you increase the force of the bounce, you will get a higher response (the rule of physics applies very well here - Action / Reaction). Hope this helps!

I think it might be a little small to be affective as a CRAZY catch with a soccer ball. But I think it would work fine to bounce the ball back at you if that is what you are looking for.

If the ball is hit between right center and left center and not the corners then yes it will.

No, the entire ball is made of screen attached to the frame work... the small gauge of the wire mesh screen is why it rusts out so quickly, Landmann needs to address this and use thicker gauged screening.

Good question. I'd like to know the answer as well. Its just an ugly green/gray ball, nothing extraordinary at all.

Hi. i bought it last winter. The ball is authentic, totally original. But the ball surface wasn't soft as I expected it to be. It was hard to grab for my hands and it slips easily. Using it for a month or two I noticed that things are going better. It seems strange to me that this kind of ball went used for n b a games but otherwise the ball seems original. I hope to have helped u

I have noticed no problems! Our daughter loves this ball and plays with it all the time:)

Its not a high bounce like a super ball. If you bounce it hard enough, it will return to your hand.

The ball is thick rubber and is only small.If your looking to kick it like a soccer ball I wouldn't suggest buying this product

No, the little ball is supposed to be on the track ALL the time, and that's the fun of it. Good luck!

The ball may have a tear/might be damaged. Lift the ball up out of the box. If the sand flows from it then return! The sand actually supports/weighs down the ball so it doesn't slide/wobble all over the place. Good luck.

I went ahead and bought the ball. I have found that the ball does bounce off a wall for a couple of feet when thrown horizontally. By the time it drops to the floor it is a few feet.

No, it does NOT. The faster the ball goes, the more spin it has. This was not a deal breaker for me. For practice purpose this did not make too much difference, as top-spin balls (without too much spin) behaves similarly to a non-spin ball. When you play real games you don't usually deal with non-spin balls anyway.

I'd say it does about 95% of the time. Depending on the club, the ball can sometimes catch on the bottom of the net (higher lofted clubs that produce more spin tend to hit the top of the net and roll down getting caught). Additionally, the ball can sometimes return to you at an angle depending on where you hit the net. Balls hit to the right side will return more to your left. All that said, I've been very happy with the ball being returned to me. It happens way more often than the ball not being returned.
