Is the ball like a standard basketball? Or more like a nerph basketball? My grandson will use this in a 2nd floor apt so nothing with hard bouncing.

It is actually like a standard basketball - rubber. It's not foamy at all and makes a good amount of noise when bounced on linoleum. You could purchase a foam ball to use in place of the included ball. My son uses a variety of different balls.

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 is about the size of the Nerf basketball that come with the Nerf basketball hoop but it is rubber like a standard basketball however not as hard or heavy, we have a carpet so the bounce cant be heard.

Get the ball which is a little smaller than the men's traditional basketball. It is actually used by girl's teams.

Definitely not a rebounder type product and I'm not sure of any on the market. This is a solid mobile goal for the kids though!

Depend on how you're going to use it. Kids? Adults? Daily? Every once in a while? 10 minute sessions? 30 minute sessions? The more use, the more you need a sturdier model. I bought this one to replace the one that we had bought 15 yrs ago that had begun to wear where the fabric attached to the clips that hold it to the frame. Ours ReboundAir Standard that we have now is used by 2 adults who weigh 160-175 lbs each. Used by at least one of us daily. Still looks & as good as it did when we took it out of the box 2 yrs ago; feels like it has the same amount of bounce, too. From what I can tell at this point, it looks as if it will perform as well as the previous one did.

This is a mini ball. It's five inches in diameter. My son uses it to play around- not meant for game play.

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

Just like you can buy different levels of quality basketballs, this one would not compare to the one NBA uses. However, it is better than many youth basketballs. My 14 year old son is one of the better players on his basketball team and it doesn't negatively impact his shooting.

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

Not sure exactly. It's quite small though. Definitely not the size of a regular basketball. Not even the size of a "junior" bball.

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

The Spalding NBA Slam Jam Over-the-door is very durable. It has the capability of dunking. My son absolutely loves this basketball hoop. The hoop cannot hold weight; however, as long as the child does not try to hang from the hoop it can withstand dunks and most play. My son (10 years old) and his friends play on it constantly!

My son was 9 or 10 when he got his first rebounder. His kicks were definitely strong enough to rebound off the net so he could keep shooting. I just replaced it 2 years later as the bungees and net was worn, and he started shooting through the net. Could have extended the life by putting it away in harsh weather, but very happy with it. Also it was cheaper to buy the whole system then to replace the bungees and net!

This was a gift to 2-year-old great grandson. He loves it. I have no idea what is used in arcade basketball games.

It holds up very well! My son plays on this hoop for hours and he plays really rough with it. He moves it from door to door, dunks on it and its like new.

I would say "just right." It feels the most like a big trampoline of the small ones I've tried. I've had my rebounder for about two years and still use it all the time. I love it.

It's just a very weak bounce back. It won't give you the bounce back of a rebounder; it's not pulled tight enough. I have a rebounder set up next to our goal w/ Predator b/c the Predator doesn't act like a rebounder. LOVE the Predator, though, for it's intended use.

I purchased a smaller youth sized basketball to help my grandson become more proficient at dribbling and shooting the ball. The goal will accommodate both sizes, so I will transition him into the regular size ball as he gets older.
