Top Race 5' Large Beach Balls - Giant Rainbow Color, Oversized Blow Up Plastic Game for Kids and Adults - Inflatable Ball to Bring at Pool and Beach Parties

If you've ever wondered how long it takes to put away a 6ft. Tall beach ball then come on down!! Lol.Definitely tons of fun for kids, good thick quality, vibrant colors, does (almost TOO GOOD of a job with air retention) room about 20 minutes to deflate it when it was time to store it away, but totally worth it. True to size, inflatablity was fine but because it comes with the normal size outlet youd see on a smaller inflatable, it takes a while to inflate and deflate, but it's not a deal breaker if you paid for something this big. ; )Great for big grassy parks, stay away from too much concrete, as I could see it getting a hole that way. I'd advise against over inflation, as it'll be harder to grab if you really need to, and a little flexibility/looseness will help extend life. Over all, really cool for all ages, definitely "novelty" size! Lol.

Takes a bit of time to inflate but SO worth it!

I am unable to package the ballWe couldn't get it finally blown up. Then we could not deflated!Totally a bummer and I lost money.Super disappointed and would like a refund but can't mail it back bc it won't fit in the book.Looks like something good for social media! Please help me out!

We had so much fun playing with this ball at our family event. We had 4 teams with 5 on each team and competed to see which team could keep it in the air the longest. We counted hits and it was equally as much fun to watch the other teams keep the enormous ball airborne as it was to play. It’s a HEAVY ball and it required the entire team to get it airborne. We laughed so hard. I had read in another review that the ball popped when someone kicked it. We made a rule that no one kick and that people be as careful as possible not too hit it too hard - more like passing a volleyball and not punching the ball - that seemed to work for us. It held up great. The only thing that we will do differently is to get a larger electric pump to inflate it. Ours was small and it took 2 hours!! So worth it, though!!! We had to inflate it on site at the field we were using because there would be no way to fit it in a car!! It deflated in about 30 min and folded into a nice storable size. Very memorable and entertaining!! We look forward to the next time we use it!!!!

Original valve is extremely undersized for the size of the beach ball. I bought a kit of Boston valves and used HH-66 Vinyl Cement. I carefully cut out the old valve and placed a shop rag inside the ball. I glued the Boston valve onto the ball and rolled the vinyl of the ball with a rubber roller. It took the original inflation time (with electric pump) from 30 minutes to just 7 minutes.

Believe it or not some kids are afraid of balls. They are afraid of hitting them or being struck by them. These balls are much less intimidating because of how light, big, and bright they are. I use these to teach principles and concepts because of this factor and they work great. They don't seem as durable as they are because of how light they are, but I watched them get kicked, hit, and squeezed over and over again by kids who have no concern for their durability and they held up, so... they can withstand use and abuse. Oh, besides what I already mentioned, they are fun to play with too!

I like this ball and it lasted the season and still in good condition. But, for this size of ball, it should have a much larger nozzle. I use a power air pump and because hole is so tiny, it took an extremely long time to inflate and I had to hold the nozzle with the smallest adapter tight so it would stay in the hole. Do deflate, I just left it for a long while. I have another with a large nozzle, takes minutes to inflate, which is no longer available - I would have ordered that.

Its durable construction holds up well to energetic play, and it inflates easily. However, the material is quite thin and tears easily, which can be frustrating. It would also be even better if it came with some sort of rubber latch or valve cover to keep the ball sealed and secure when not in use, preventing deflation and making storage more convenient. While it’s definitely fun, the wind tends to blow it everywhere, so you might find yourself chasing the ball more than enjoying the game itself. Overall, it’s a great addition to any beach or pool day, but it could use some enhancements in durability and wind resistance.
