It is made from a two-ply rubber cover surrounding a natural rubber bladder, reinforced with nylon winding for extra strength. The surface features a texturized grip to help you catch, hold, and throw with control. It ships deflated and is suitable for kickball, handball, dodgeball, and other outdoor games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Games Can This Ball Handle?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ball is designed for playground sports. Its 8.5-inch size fits the standard for kickball and four square. It bounces consistently on grass, dirt, and pavement. The rubber construction can handle repeated kicks, throws, and impacts without splitting. Many people use it for dodgeball, handball, or casual catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Materials Are Used in This Ball?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ball uses a two-ply rubber cover to protect the inner bladder. Inside, a natural rubber bladder holds air and helps the ball keep its round shape. A nylon winding layer adds strength to the rubber, making the ball more durable than a simple rubber ball. The surface has a stippled texture rather than a smooth finish, which gives you more grip when you catch or throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Does the Grip Affect Performance?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texturized cover increases friction between your hand and the ball. This helps you catch it securely, even if it comes at you fast. When throwing, you can release the ball with better spin and accuracy. The texture also helps when you kick, giving your foot a bit more traction on the rubber surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Should You Expect When It Arrives?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ball arrives deflated. You will need a standard ball pump with a needle to inflate it. Inflate slowly until the ball feels firm but not rock-hard. Overinflating can stress the bladder, so follow typical playground ball inflation guidelines. The natural rubber bladder will retain air well, but you may need to add a little air after the first few uses as it seats itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCannon Sports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNylon-wound rubber, natural rubber bladder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 ounces (1 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdult\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ball come ready to play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, it ships deflated.
