Great ball! This is my 3rd one. The 1st went over the cliff while playing and the 2nd is AWOL. I am in my 59s and kickball is something that is fun with friends of any age. Maybe it is just me but I think everyone should have a kickball for fun and exercise.

Used these (I ended up buying two) for a birthday party/slosh-ball in the park event--they work great. I have no idea if WAKA means anything to the average person, but the ball is bigger than the grammar school balls I remember, but in a good way that kickball needs. Particularly for slosh-ball, you need a ball that can make the catching/throwing with a cup in your hand a big of a chore, and hurt less as you hit someone with it... this is great on both those counts. Too small a ball, and you don't get the inexperienced players kicking it solid enough, and the highly competitive guys catch them too easily with their beer in hand.

I assumed this ball would be ready to use; however, it was uninflated. It did not come with an inflation needle either, so now I need to try to hunt one of those down. If I knew the state of the ball, I probably would have selected a different option

Bought as a gift for my Mom. She's my Mom so obviously she loved it. That said, the ball came flat, pumped it up in about 4 mins. We kicked and threw it around, she said it was like the one her team used. The ball is still holding air and she got it on Mother's day. No defects, ball was spherical, good grip to it.

My kids and I love playing kickball with the nieces, nephews, cousins, etc., and we play whenever we can. These balls rock. The adult size is markedly larger, and took some adjustments in our game since we previously apparently bought the kids size, but having the larger sized ball makes the game a little more competitive because the adults can't just blow it out of the park anymore. Very bouncy, sturdy (have taken direct hits off the top of the chain-link fence around the park we play in with no issues) and inflate easily. My go-to kickball for sure.
