The ball is lighter color not dark as expected
This Spalding Roookie Gear ball is just perfect. Not only is is clearly lighter but it ...
Gus A.✓ Verified Purchase•August 18, 2023
Bought for my 6 year old son that just started playing in a league. I first thought a ball was just a ball. The first ball I got was the Wilson Street Shot. That ball was composite leather too but much harder and less grip. That other ball also was standard weight. My son had a hard time making baskets.
This Spalding Roookie Gear ball (brown) is just perfect. Not only is is clearly lighter but it feels better, more grip, softer more leather like feel, and it bounces higher with less effort. I measured the weight of both balls with a digital food scale with both balls at the same 9 psi.
For comparisons here are some more detailed comparisons:
Spalding Rookie Gear 27.5 ball (brown)
13.6 oz (22% lighter than Wilson Street Shot ball), it definitely feels lighter too
bounced half a ball higher when dropped from adult chest height (same psi)
much easier to dribble as it bouces with less effort
softer nicer more leather like feel
more grip
Wilson Street Shot 27.5 ball
17.4 oz
Feels heavy and hard to bounce
harder surface and feels more like rubber
has good amount of bumps but has little grip, hand slides on surface
My son is doing much better with the new ball.

Starter Ball for Youth (Pre-Kinder to First)
B Plus Plus✓ Verified Purchase•August 14, 2023
This ball has a specific purpose. It's durable as long as you keep it stored indoors. This ball is lighter and smaller which is intended for youth play typically in Pre-Kinder to First Grade (4 to 6 yr olds). This ball is to encourage the children towards basketball and build their confidence in ball-handling and to make a basket on an 8 foot rim. Check with your youth basketball organizations on the standards ball sizes and rim heights. Our league moves to from Size 7 (Pre-K to First), Size 8 (2nd to Fourth) and Size 9 / Adult Men (5th grade +). This applies to boys. Girls will stay with the Size 8 ball. Your local youth league may vary.
