If you do side tosses or hard throws against a wall will this med. ball at least bounce off a couple of feet or will it drop straight to the ground ?

I would have to say no. I would describe the feeling as a smaller bowling ball wrapped in a one-inch layer of sand; and then one or two layers of leather. It's easy on the hands when tossed to you because the layers of sand and leather absorb the hard impact very well. Of course, it is that same impact-absorbing action that will cause the ball to drop to the ground upon impact with a wall. It has no bounce. Note: I did not test this as I don't have a good wall to test without fear of damaging it. If there were to be any bounce, I have to assume it's going to be very little.

I think its mainly for resistance exercises. No bounce to it at all. Kinda like a big hackee-sack or beanbag.Hard throws or slams would most likely shorten the life span of the med ball.

I went ahead and bought the ball. I have found that the ball does bounce off a wall for a couple of feet when thrown horizontally. By the time it drops to the floor it is a few feet.

I have a 14-15# version, and like the others have stated, it's got very little bounce. It's great for resistance, and I've been doing floor slams with mine, and it's got only the slightest bounce. If you want bouncy, Valeo's basketball-style medicine balls are great. They have a good amount of bounce considering the weight.

Yes, it will bounce...it's just like the red rubber handballs we used to have on the play ground. You can totally dribble it like a basketball.

I have not tried it w/ regular balls. I currently use practice nerf balls, however, the net is strong enough of regular ones as well.

I think, (and I don't know since I haven't used it) as long as you are careful about the surface you roll the ball on you should be all right. If you are playing around outside you are going to be picking up lots of random "bad bits" anyway, so careful handling and cleaning should keep it fine for use.

Yes. I used 3m adhesive on the walls to attach. And it lays flat to roll up. The ball is flat in the box when received, and you have to inflate it. So, the ball would not go back in the box, unless you deflate.

None, it works by gravity. There is a slight elevation which makes the ball roll back to you.

Um, no. Not a 'serious' game if you want points to count or anything because it's going to bounce odd if it lands on one of the hole openings. And it's a little heavier than a tennis ball. But if you just want a knock-around just-for-fun game at night with the court lights off, give it a try, and tell us about it ;)

In most cases it probably can stop a baseball although I haven't tried. The squares are about 2" so I think if you hang the net a little loose you shouldn't have any problems. But I guess it also depends on just how hard you hit that ball.

my 6-year old son dropped it on our tile floor. nothing broken...however he's only 3 feet from the ground and he didn't throw it, just dropped it. So I'm sure that if thrown hard enough on the right, surface, right angle it could break, but when he has dropped it, it's been fine.

It sort of bounces, but it really is intended just for shooting. You can use it indoors, but like anything you throw inside there's always the chance it could knock over a lamp or something. We have a rule that it's for shooting only, not throwing around the room!

I am confused by your question but if you turned it around it would be exactly like the other side. It would rebound the ball back to you.

No it will not bounce, it is great for an indoor basketball hoop, either over the door or wall. I got this for my grandson who is 8, along with the indoor hoop and he loves it!

You can place it on the wall or on the floor and then either throw it at the wall [which does make some "tonk" sound when it hits, but it's not too loud. I like throwing it into the air and see if I can hit it while it is on the ground, kind-of like horse shoes. Very fun. They stick really well.

It works best stuck to the wall because it is flat on one side and won't stand alone on the ground. Great toy though, and comes off easily if you need to move it.

As long as you have a decent throwing distance. Probably need about 20 to 30 feet to throw. Also nice to have something behind Bounce for errant throws. Enjoy!

It is great before it breaks. I gave to my son for Xmas last year. He played with it for about an hour, dropped it and it broke in to 2 pieces. I think it should be able to withstand dropping a few times before breaking. When it dropped it wasn't in the "ball" position, it was extended. Hope this helps.

No, not unless you throw it, drop it from a second story, or something like that. It's fairly durable.
