The Official Silent Basketball + (Size 7) – Noise-Free Indoor Basketball for Quiet Dribbling – Grooved Airless Indoor Basketballs – Ready to Play Black Basket Ball for All Ages (29.5")

It is nice to have a basketball that is silent when bounced inside the house. It's not going to bounce as well as a real basketball but it is useful for practicing dribbling skills if you have to be inside the house. Don't let your dog get a hold of it, unless you want a bite taken out of it.

I wanted to learn how to handle a ball but was too self conscious to go to a court. Having a silent ball like this really helped me improve my ball handling skill before getting out there.Even now its a great help for when it's too rainy or cold I can work on handles in my apartment whenever I want.The ball is of good quality and has a decent grip. It isn't as bouncy as a real ball but one will get used to that quickly. It pretty much has the size, shape and weight of a real ball just not the bounce. Must get for hoopets trying to improve.

Got this ball for my 14 year old. Him and his 12 year old brother have so much fun playing with it. It’s fun seeing them play and be kids. Bonus I don’t have to worry about it putting a dent in one of my walls. Big hit in our house.

Overall, definitely worth it. My son is getting borderline obsessively annoying about getting better at basketball, and he uses this daily. Definitely quieter than a normal ball, and the peace of mind I have that he's less likely to break something or knock over the toddler while dribbling around is priceless.The bounce isn't perfect though; it doesn't bounce back as high as a normal ball would. However, I would rather he practice with this than those plastic balls from those indoor toy basketball sets because it's the size of a normal ball (quieter than those plastic balls too).

There are so many different brands of silent basketballs, it's hard to know where to start. I'm happy I started here. While the ball is not silent, it is very quiet when dribbled in our house. My son loves it when it's too cold or rainy to practice outside. Still heavy enough to do damage if passing or shooting inside, so be aware, but it's a great training aid. Heavy enough that you can practice dribbling. It's not an exact simulation, but it's close enough.

We’ve owned a few and many would crumble apart a week later. This one is solid! Worth every dollar. My son loves it!

First, I will say that my kids love this basketball. It gets dribbled a lot on my hardwood floors and although it's not silent, it is not disturbing. We were very happy with the basketball for the first 2 months we had it. Over time and with use, the foam has started to crumble off of the ball and is left all over our floors and gets stuck in my kid's socks. What first started as a great pass time for my sons, has turned into a constant mess. I had read about other balls doing this and had hoped that with the higher price on this ball it would hold up better. We're disappointed and would love to find another silent basketball that doesn't crumble and shed foam.

Not completely silent but it bounces nicely
