Comments about 8-1/2" Spectrum™ Playground Ball:

I bought these to play kickball in an adult kickball league and they are too small, get the 10 inch at least if you are planning on playing kickball. Otherwise these balls are good for younger children or different games.

Comments about 8-1/2" Spectrum™ Playground Ball:

I bought these balls to use in an adult dodgeball league I run at work. The availability of colors was great. I run multiple games simultaneously and having different colored balls helps the teams and officials keep track of the correct balls. Unfortunately they do not stand up to the abuse they receive as well as other brands I have tried. I was very impressed with the assistance I received from customer service when I identified this problem. In addition to replacing several balls they suggested replacement balls and even supplied a set of Gator Skins for us to try out. I would definitely order from S&S again just not this product for this use.
