Does anyone know if this item is made from an actual billiard ball as advertised?

Yes, it is an actual billiard ball as advertised. I had to buy adapter screw kit off Amazon in order for the thread to fit on my Tacoma.

it is made of plastic, it will feel sticky. pay attention to the exercise not the feel of the ball.

This is really pretty awesome and has provided hours of fun for my family. From what I can tell they are not real golf balls. The are a little larger than an golf ball and softer with a rubber texture. Which is a good thing, in my opinion, because when my nephew hurled one and hit his sister, it didn't hurt quite as bad. I hope this helps.

I don't think it would be useful for that purpose. The first reason is that I don't think billiard balls go 11kph, and if they do, it isn't much faster than that, or they will fly off the table. And they are usually hitting other balls, which go in different directions. You would not know which ball was being measured most the time, and they would be at angles that would render any reading extremely inaccurate(and also likely below the 11kph lower limit of the machine).

Yes, the only real leather ball out there. Most others are synthetic. The only other real leather balls are the official FIFA, NCAA and WNBA balls. Most people play with all court synthetic balls. In my opinion they have too much give and don't handle as well. This ball is the real deal, people will say it's "HARD" but it's not, it is what it is, everything else is "SOFT" except for the rubber balls. Each Official NBA ball is also serialized. If you play pickup most people will shake their heads and call it fake because most people don't spend $140+ on an official NBA basketball. Only word of caution I can offer is NOT to use this outdoors, you will ruin the leather and waste good money on a very nice ball. Yes, the only real leather ball out there. Most others are synthetic.

The ball is made of a vinyl. Feel is very similar to a regular beach ball, but it is a heavier gauge material.

No it's plastic, but it's pretty light overall. That's kind of what I wanted, as it's hanging on a window for my kids. FYI, it, and the ball, are pretty small.

This ball is made from a very durable vinyl. It is slightly tacky for better body contact. NOT sticky...it is just not smooth. It also has ridges that also help to keep your body stable.

There is an indent for the ball and it is made of a nice thick plastic, you wont be disappointed.

Sorry, don't know...do not buy boading balls from Amazon, too many defects, seriously! Buy them from http://baodingballs.com/ thet got good prices, great quality and they're sized in mm's! You'll have the option to pay through Amazon or PayPal. I could not digress more about not buying any boading balls from random sellers on Amazon! I had to have my moneyrefunded because they were crap!

I would start with contacting the manufacturer of the balls, which appears to be A Little Green Bee. However, I cannot find any contact information for that company (through Amazon or otherwise). It also appears that the only authorized reseller of the balls is a company called A+ Style, which has an Amazon storefront. Try messaging them and maybe they can answer your question or put you in contact with someone at the manufacturer, who can.

Hi, i'm not selling anything. I got it off amazon if that's what you are asking. The casing I got was authentic, which I believe it to be. There was a hologram sticker on the box and a card with a code for you to verify it's authenticity online. Hope that I answered your question!

I doubt. The bag (it's not only packaging, you suppose to store the balls in it) is made of PVC according to the label which is obviously not. The item itself does not tell (no a single label or recycling sign) what it is made of, but you can imagine the mentality of this manufacturer if they supplied these balls in a bag made of PVC(!!!). Everyone knows the negative health effects of PVC on kids (and adults, too...), so if they didn't care with the bag, why would they with the balls?my 2 cents.

It is composite (synthetic) leather, which means it isn't real leather. I think technically it is some sort of micro-fiber. It has a feel to it that is more similar to a leather ball than say a traditional outdoor rubber ball, and tends to be more stronger than a true leather ball, so it works fine in both an indoor and outdoor setting.

Yes from what I could see. Cloth and plastic seem to be what it is made of. By the way it is a wonderful toy for the price.
