surprising purchase
This was a great toy with unexpected benefits. Its tough, portable and fun. It has sparked an interest in sports which extended to reading books relating to all sports. Also is a shared toy between a 7 year old boy and an 11 year boy which works out fine since they have a partner to play with! Also it is unbreakable which is a real plus.

Not Ideal for Older Kids
While the sponginess of this ball is probably great for little kids who may be afraid to catch a harder football, it is too soft for older kids who are used to gripping regular footballs. Nice, durable ball, but it's not for everyone.

great nerf product
Great product for adults and kids. It's the classic Nerf football, but with an exo-skin and hard exterior that can even handle landing on concrete or asfault. It weighs more than the original nerf, but that just lets you throw it into the wind. This is my second one, after the first split at the seam after 2 years of use. Definitely worth the money.

This thing flys!!!
You can throw this ball a mile. Smaller ball with just the right amount of weight outdistances a normal (NFL size) football by a good 20 yards. My 12 year old and I have a great time with this ball. I can usually snag a catch with one hand due to the soft, grippy surface. Not your 1st generation nerf ball, that's for sure!

Greatness
This is much better than the real foamy (like the poof) footballs that nerf used to make when I was growing up. You can really wing this one and throwing spirals is incredibly easy with the seam grips (black). Definitely more rugged than the old foamy nerfs as well and doesnt seem to absorb water and become heavy like the older foamy nerfs.
