How rigid is this ball? Is it as rigid as a basketball?

Yes it is as ridgid as a basketball. Feels just like a basketball only heavier.

This ball is good for all ages. It is almost an exact replica of the official NBA ball. Will develope ball handling skills for all ages.

It's small but more like a standard basketball. I think it is REALLY loud when they shoot it against a door... the backboard and the ball are both pretty loud... my kids use theirs in the basement and I can hear it upstairs. It isn't so loud when they dribble.

It's not too rigid. You should be able to raise its head with string, or fishing line. I bought it for my 5 year old grandson because he wanted a "real snake with fangs" - it is durable and it looks real.

This one was pretty rigid. It is not thick so it does have a little bend, however depending on the curvature of the door - I would search for a product from that door MFG.

The Ball feels like it has a more thick consistency, but isn't heavy. It stays inflated better than ones I have purchased from Target. I really don't feel like it is weighted. (I don't think it is heavy when picking it up)

Yes, the product is hard enough to dribble basketball on. Pretty sturdy and easy to maintain. I recommend it.

Its pretty solid....however, ive noticed recently that the rim is now bouncing up and down when shooting. Maybe someone may have tried to dunk on it during the night? Its definitely nicer than your everyday hoop that you see outside someones garage/sidewalk. The wind doesn't blow it down either if you fill it with sand. We unfortunately have water in the drum. The water is still doing it's job though. The toughest thing was putting the damn thing together. Definitely a 2-3 person job. I hope this answers your question.

This is a medium soft foam ball. It is hard enough to bounce but does not hurt if it is thrown softly and hits someone.

I have not had any problems with this. The weight naturally shifts slightly when slammed, but I have not had problems maintaining an even shape. The ball bounces nicely off of the ground and against hard and soft surfaces.

It is not a rigid board. It is firm enough for my use. I bring it out to work on my puzzle then close it all up when I need to put it away ( to use the dining room table for meals)

I would say that this ball is more on light weight side. Sturdy but not heavy. It is smaller than advertised, it is more like 75cm than 85cm. I sent mine back simply because of the size.

I don't know either, definitely softer than a normal ball. But after a year of use, it's holding up fine.

It's a nice "softer" kicking ball. My kids use it for indoor soccer, gagaga, and indoor volley ball. They are 9 and 12.

Hi. I have owned this product for over a year now. Yes, it is very rigid, but flexible. You can bend it horizontally (or keep it straight) but it will not bend vertically or sag. Hope this helps. I have been very pleased with mine.

The ball appears to be made of vinyl. Sturdy enough for young children, but isn't a rough type material. Of course, it's smaller than a regulation basketball, and fits into little hands very nicely. Making "scores" a sure thing. :)The ball also has an air valve for adding more air, if desired. The ball, as packed, arrived with a moderate amount of airand we added a wee bit more, in order to get a bit better bounce. Hope that's helpful.

Maybe a Volley ball, but most likely not a Basketball. The sides are pretty rigid. There is a kind of cargo net on top, I use my cargo net to hold a sweat shirt sometimes.
