Huge Tip If you like playing with those inflatable balls in the grocery store or $1 dollar store, then you'll LOVE a silent ball. If you don't like those inflatable balls because they are too light in weight (feels like you are bouncing nothing), then MOST LIKELY you WON'T LIKE a silent ball. Silent basketballs do weigh more than those inflatable balls, but they still have a similar feel. If you own a silent ball, what do you like or don't like about them!
you're the goat for making an actual non bullshit review of a bunch of different balls. i've been scrolling for 20 minutes trying to find a review that isn't just somebody trying to sell me their shitty product
Thank you so much for this video. We live in a co-op and my son is developing a love for basketball. I've been reviewing Amazon all day and couldn't come up with a choice until I saw your video. I'm going with Wawawea. Thanks so much for this review. Wish I saw it earlier. Would've saved me a day.
Same lol I had the same problem when shopping for one, that's why I made the video. I'm happy it helped you out and for everyone too! A lot of options out there, kinda difficult to see the quality just from pictures. Time is everything I agree, enjoy it with the kiddo Roy!
It's great practice in the home, especially if they find it fun! Can definitely be a good idea, any method that captures the mind of a young player in my book is a huge win!
Thanks for the review and your efforts. I'm also interested in a silent basketball. I got a generic one from China, but I'm not happy with the bounce. What would be really great would be if you make bounce test: so the generic in one hand and the Wawawewa in the other. And then just let it fall to see how high they bounce (without any force). So we can see high they bounce.
Thanks for the thorough review. Can these be used outside too to avoid making too much noise for the neighbours or would they wear out really quickly ?
They would eventually wear out on rough surfaces. The foam also has pores and is spongy, it would start gathering and absorbing dirt and little rocks. Ultimately, it really all depends on the surface. If the surface is smoothed and somewhat clean, it could work nicely outside. Here are some examples: a patio with smooth paver stones, a wood porch that is evenly distributed, a garage with a smooth concrete finish, and even on an outdoor rug or that synthetic/artificial grass that is thin and soft. Just imagine where you are going to use it. It can get a little dirty too, just like an outdoor basketball. Hope this helps and have some fun!
Doesn't happen often, but this is the 3rd time someone has asked that. I don't have a link since I bought them in store, but I'll give you a cheat code. I got these at Nordstrom Rack or TJ Maxx, I don't recall which one specifically. My girl loves to shop, like everyone other woman out there. Have noticed that in those types of stores, sometimes I'll find shorts that are longer, not always but you just have to look. Online or in-person stores that have all the latest gear have shorter shorts (that's been the new trend for a while now), I don't mind but sometimes you want longer shorts. Now when my girl wants to go, I tag along a bit more since been finding some gems! Hope this helps Bro 💯👍👌👌
Yes with free shipping of course!! If with shipping it cost the same as the Wawawewa I would personally go with the Wawawewa since it weighs more and I like how it feels better. But if you like a jet black ball with a slight coating over it, then go with the In The Lab! All preference! Hope this helps 👍👍
Do one with the new Official Silent Basketball + from WAWAWEWA! That one has real grooves like a basketball. Seems like a great choice. All these other generic ones are pretty cheap and fall apart. In The Lab ball was really bad. Very light and not good quality at all..
Ohh I just seen the new one like you mentioned, the grooves could be nice, they possibly keep making it better! I will have to check it out for sure, thanks yohuevon!
@@jpalacesneakers awesome! Glad you saw it. Seems like WAWAWEWA is the overall best quality. I've tried so many different ones, and that's the only one I actually use haha
@@robgtx1830 I gotcha Bro lol that would be a killer video, I had thought about that previously but only told myself I would do it if someone requested it lol
@Tectatron I'm going to do a new video next week with all the silent balls but for me it's pretty much going to be Wawawewa Original Model or the In The Lab 3.0. They're both equally good and weight about the same only difference is the 3.0 is going to be a bit more slippery because of the material over it which would make it a good tool for improving. I still like the Wawawewa original since it sticks a bit more to the hands so you'll have a bit more control indoors. Here is the In The Lab 3.0 review vs Wawawewa Pro Model, not the original model but will give you a good idea of what to expect with the 3.0. ruclips.net/video/iCL1720PrI0/видео.html
Tell your Pops you will do some extra chores around the house for it, who knows that might work. Also I was planning on doing a silent ball giveaway in 2 months or so, once I post the video comment on it. If I can do it sooner, I will, just busy with work and traveling.
@@jpalacesneakers I got the generic Amazon one. Mine turned out to be pretty okay but I would have rather gone with the heavier Wawawewa if I had known about it
Send it back Brother! Never settle for bad quality, good thing amazon has a return policy for that one!! With other brands, there is no returns. Appreciate this comment so others can be aware.
@@Idk83738 it didn't even say on the Amazon page I had to go to another silent basketball seller which told me that it took 3 days. Also mine didn't come like his so I am confused.
@specularpotato2683 Ohh that's what's up bro lol, the mail carrier probably placed many boxes on top of it so it arrived somewhat deformed, it just needed time to return to its original form, I'm glad for you broskis I had put you in my prayers lol☝️🙏🙏

@@chopincj7530 Appreciate this, I really wanted to make it count for everyone
This was such an excellent review. Thank you for spending the time and money to put this together for us!
Looking at the big picture, I do think it's a small price to pay to get a kiddo off their phone! Only if they like it of couse, glad it was helpful!

Thank you. I'm a basketball coach and contemplated suggesting the silent basketball for some of my non experience players.
It's great practice in the home, especially if they find it fun! Can definitely be a good idea, any method that captures the mind of a young player in my book is a huge win!

Great video!
Weird question, but do you have a link for the shorts? Been looking for a longer pair.

Hey I got a discount on the in the lab 2.0, do you think that would be the best ball for 28$
Yes with free shipping of course!!
If with shipping it cost the same as the Wawawewa I would personally go with the Wawawewa since it weighs more and I like how it feels better.
But if you like a jet black ball with a slight coating over it, then go with the In The Lab! All preference!

Great review.. i am actually returning one I got from Amazon because it is shaped like an egg due to the vacuum sealing.. it was ~$16
The same thing happened to me, rugby silent ball 🤣🤣 return it so fast
Very appreciative of this review brotha.
@pseupecooler I'm glad it helped Bro. There will be a part 2 with some newer different balls, I will be uploading it in about a week or so. 👍
@@jpalacesneakers I have a wawawewa on the way right now.
@pseupecooler nicee, I love the wawawewa one in the video, can't go wrong with that one 🔥🔥
@@jpalacesneakers update: This ball is A1. Again, I appreciate the review, and I hope this comment helps someone else make a decision too.
@@pseupecoolerhow is it now

@yohuevon From what I seen I feel they make the best one, and the weight is 👌!
@@jpalacesneakers most definitely! The extra weight makes it bounce so much more and feel more like a real ball. I definitely agree
Gonna check out the Wawawewa ball?
That one is a great choice, love the weight and feel of it!! I recommend
So what will you recomend now after 5 month. Which one is most durable and do not make big noise
Can you do a review of the silent balls from TEMU?
@@robgtx1830 I gotcha Bro lol that would be a killer video, I had thought about that previously but only told myself I would do it if someone requested it lol
are you gonna do a review of the 3.0 from inthelab?
Yes most definitely
Thanks for the review!!
Of course Bro glad I could help, this review was much needed. I wanted to know for myself also!
I don't even play basketball. I just want to see if they really silent
Lol I like your thinking, I also wanted to find out
What abt the dribble dream
I did try to get a few others, but they were all sold out, I went with the best that was available at the time
thank you bro I was having trouble deciding
Glad it helped, wanted to help all the hoopers! 👍👍
@@jpalacesneakers it def did help especially me cus im barely getting back into it
how big is the generic one in inches
The generic one is 29 inches, I measured all around it.
A regular basketball is going to be 29.5 inches.
i got a nine inch ball im nervous its going to be too small, thoughts?@@jpalacesneakers
its too smal@@HungryHunter776
which one is the best?????
From all of these, the Wawawewa was my favorite one, has the best bounce and weight, and the built quality was 👌👌
@@jpalacesneakersshould I get the in the lab 3.0 instead?

@@jpalacesneakers thanks
thank you so much
Just seeing this, glad it was able to help you out, that was my goal 👍👍
my dad won’t buy me one because he says it’s just a foam ball 😭
@Thedevilswheel thanks bro i’ll try
@Thedevilswheel wtf do you post lmao
@Thedevilswheel lolol

It's worth it!
HE ACTUALLY UNIRONICALLY SAYS MMKAY LIKE THE SOUTH PARK GUY EVERY COUPLE SENTENCES LMAO
my bad bro lol I had speech problem as a kid, I'll work on it just for you 😉
@@jpalacesneakers nah I love it, made the vid 2x more entertaining
Good video, I wish I would saw your video before buying the Amazon one. It’s not good all a waste of money.
I feel you Bro, try sending it back usually Amazon is pretty good about it, especially if quality is bad 🙏
Wish I saw this earlier
What happened bro?
@@jpalacesneakers I got the generic Amazon one. Mine turned out to be pretty okay but I would have rather gone with the heavier Wawawewa if I had known about it
Bad video received the wawawewa one and it is deformed

Appreciate this comment so others can be aware.
@@jpalacesneakers nvm Its not deformed anymore but it does not looked like the only described in picture
