Is the size printed on the ball accurate, I ordered a 3 but the ball says 5?

A size five is the most common size...a three would be little...what size is the ball?

What is printed on the ball is correct. I ordered #3 twice, and had to return both, as on both occasions I received #1. The balls were put in a plastic bag that had a sticker that claimed it was #3. So, seems there is no control at all on what the stickers on the plastic bag says vs what is actually inside the bag.

That's funny, it's not accurate, the ball is round and therefore has one dimensional measurement. It's like a 2&1/4" diameter ball. Fits in the hand nicely.

I am 5'4 and the ball is perfect. Any smaller, and it's suitable for toddlers/small kids, no joke.

I have the same question...I would like to order them, but only a 5 shows up...can someone answer?

It just means the same as numbers 1 through 4, instead these are 6 through 9. Easy to identify as your ball.

The XL I got is not the same size as a tennis ball. Bigger. Perfect Size for him though. Percy is 60 lbs. He loved them, but they don't last. I will probably get him them again though :)

I think this is the size of the ball that my hospital has. It's the size I'm ordering for me and I'm 5'4".

The ones I received were about the size (circumference) of a golf ball, you may want to ask the seller though for sure.

The ball is a regular sized basketball. My son loves it although does not play with it a lot on outdoor courts because he does not want to wear off the cool bulls logo.Go Bulls!

My son has the Under Armour official size 495 basketball, per Under Armour's website that ball comes in 28.5 or 29.5. I'm unsure which his is but if it's the smaller, there is room for it to expand to the larger circumference.

It should fit. My son has the next size ball down which is only a little smaller and it does fine.

No. It's 55cm as advertised. If ball is inflated beyond the designed size, it fails to perform as designed, and defeats the purpose you want from it. You can actually feel the differences and loss in effects.

I am 5 4 and weigh 130. I ordered the blue ball which turned out to be way too big. Tried to return unsuccessively. Also, ball never leveled out. It is sturdy. Simply wrong size and poor customer service. Good luck!

Subtract about 12 inches in width and 12 inches in length from the listed size. It definitely "feels" smaller than the tables at a bar/restaurant. It's fun to practice on but maybe not as fun to play 9-ball etc.
