Summary: Poor quality ball
Comment: This was the second WAKA ball I purchased. Immediately upon receipt, I noticed the rubber surface appeared aged and cracked. Thinking this might only be cosmetic, I used the ball for a team practice. Unfortunately, it developed a hole after only 2 hours. If I had been able to see this ball in a local store, I would have chosen a better looking one. Your results might be better, but I don't plan to order another WAKA ball from Amazon.

Summary: The classic kickball, but practically disposable
Comment: This is pretty much the classic red rubber playground kickball you remember from when you were a kid. Here's the trouble: you're not a kid anymore. When full sized adults kick this thing hard, it gradually gets lumpy and ours tore in the fourth inning. We switched to an 8 1/2" playground ball to finish out the game. I liked the ball while it was in use, but just make sure you have a backup.

Summary: Mikasa kickball vs. Tachikara kickball
Comment: I bought both this ball and the more durable Tachikara kickball. After using the Tachikara for a couple of minutes, I chose this one for our game. With college-age guys kicking it with all their might, it retained its shape for a few hours of play.
While it's not the most durable ball, it is the best for a laid back game of kickball. It's the perfect size -- 10" as opposed to the 8.5" Tachikara.
In addition, even though I have bought virtually everything I own on Amazon, I found this ball for much cheaper at a local sporting goods store. So I plan on buying a new one of these for each kickball game. It's well worth it for a few hours of fun with a couple dozen friends.

Summary: terrible ball
Comment: This ball is cheap and terrible. Get one with nylon casing inside the rubber instead. This ball loses its shape after a couple good kicks. It looks like a wobbling football flying through the air. And WAKA is for sissies who like to bunt anyway. Play with a smaller ball so you can actually throw it and hurt someone.

Summary: Great Kickball!
Comment: This game has just started to something big in this town for adults. (Even on the news) This ball was great to get a few practices in and had an excellent feel and durability while playing.
