SportimeUltraFoam Bowling Ball, Weighted, Multi-Color, 1 Pound - 019899

Great toy for practising bowling at home etc.

This little boy was a great little trading apparatus. I purchased this ball for my kids to help them improve their bowling technique.I take it with us to the bowling alley so that we can help them with their wrist. We practice rev revolutions. That allows them to be able to practice throwing the ball as we're warming up on the sidelines. It's also really help during this coronavirus stay at home quarantine. Because it has allows them to get a little bit of practice in at home in the yard.

Not bad value for kids to use at home. The ball is not soft like a nerf ball. Very sturdy construction and the finger holes have plastic cup reinforcement. The only issue is the two thumb holes are the same distance from the finger holes, so it will not fit different size spans.

Great for practice if

Great product, just not for my child

I am a PE teacher. I bought these for my kids grade K-2 and they were perfect. Light weight. The strange thing is that there are two thumb holes. I thought it was for two different grips (smaller and larger) but they are the same size. Good quality for the money.

I bought this as a light ball for practicing various aspects of an actual bowling approach/swing - OF COURSE YOU CAN NOT ACTUALLY BOWL WITH IT, but wanted to use it at home to practice timing, swing, approach, mechanics, etc. This ball is not good for that for the following reasons: 1. Too small; 2. Holes are very shallow, and don't allow anywhere close to normal finger positioning in the ball; 3. the holes are very close together, and not really appropriate for even an average build/height adult. It is perhaps a good ball to horse around with or throw at random objects in the backyard, but it is not a practice bowling ball for adults, for sure.

Originally I was worried it would be too heavy for preschoolers but this ball works well with the Champion Sports Multicolor Pins that are weighted. We just had to teach the kids how to ROLL the ball instead of throwing it overhead. The children love this activity at our church.
