They aren't the best balls but I knew that when I ordered them. They are fine for my purposes.

well, the price was right, but that's where it ended. the balls were very very low quality. Most deflated over a period of 24 hours, and they broke easily, which i never saw a basketball do before. A parent called to complain that her son's ball popped after a few minutes play in the driveway! Anyway, they were bright orange and pretty and enticing to the little guys, but i had a lot of disappointed kids the next day. sorry, i would never recommend these to any one, not even to use as a decoration as they would deflate!
