do a lot of these balls come broken have dimples and are they worth the price

I bought a case of these awhile back for some speedball and woods ball. They were very nice balls but not amazing high quality. My gun shoots around 20bps and I think I had maybe 2 breaks in the case.

In the entire case, I had no broken balls and no noticeable dimples. They were definitely worth the price for me. I agree with Abe that these are not what you want for high-level competition, but they're a great buy for recreational use.

we really had good luck with ours. One was broken, but that human error. Take your time and be careful and they will bring you a TON of joy. We will be buying them again. It was a great time.

No, only the balls that come with the machine or extras bought on Amazon. We've tried other ones and nothing works except these.

Yes, they are available but do not come with the scratcher. All you need to do is pop out the old ball and pop in the new Twinkle Ball. It's very easy. I didn't realize the balls came out of the scratcher until my Shih Tzu decided he just had to have the ball out.

I use only 9" dimple balls (12" for softball) made for pitching machines. You can find them online for around $20-30/doz. 3 doz should be enough so u don't have spend too much time picking balls up.

No, they do not. They are decently nice, but not the highest quality--definitely better as a favor ordered in bulk. :)

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 think so. I gave them as gifts to my daughters. I did have trouble with 2 of them being damaged when shipped, but they sent replacements right away.

That sounds truly strange as these balls are very sturdy. Is it possible it was defective in some way? I did, however, purchase a bigger ball. So far, it has held up pretty well. Check how long you've had it to see if it is still covered under their warranty, and let Gaiam know about your experience.

Yep, just make sure you get the U-Series ball because it doesn't have the shiny finish on it. These balls are easier to break in (still 6 to 9 months of heavy use).

No they don't bounce that great. But they are perfect for dodgeball. They have enough weight to throw well but are soft enough to not be able to cause any real injury.

No, they are like a very dense spunge. they don't bounce real well but are great for dodge ball.

No cuz they are cheap flimsy and easily breakable. Plus the company won't do refunds. Save your money.

I haven't had mine long (a few weeks) but from what I can tell they should last you a while. Mine have a few dings and a slightly bent tip from hitting a brick wall, from what I can tell they are pretty durable. I typically throw for an hour or so a day and mine are all still in great condition.

That seems to be a problem with the shipping of the product. I received 2 posts with the ball on top broken off, before one arrived, unbroken. The company did take care of the problem, so that is a positive. Don't know if it could have been fixed or not. That said....I love the mailbox, and have had no problems with its quality since.
