Tucker Toys has invented a ball that can really bounce on grass, sand or water. To begin, let’s state that it looks nothing like your typical soccer ball. The design looks futuristic and the size is smaller, so calling it a soccer ball is a considerable stretch, but more importantly, none of that dampened testers enthusiasm. They loved the feel of the ball which is squishy like a rubber ball but with more heft. The cool patterns and color combinations are eye-catching and appealing. The grooves on the ball make it easier to get a better grip on it (thus the E-Z Grip name). This is a fun all purpose ball. You can use it for casual soccer & basketball games, on the beach and even in the water! Parents noted that it bounces very well on the carpet which is great for those times when outdoor weather is prohibitive. Just make sure you clear away any breakable objects. The bottom line is that this ball is very well made and quite durable. The price makes it a terrific option for gift giving.
