does this ball bounce?

This ball DOES NOT BOUNCE. It is filled with very malleable material or sand. It is more of a rubber coated sandbag than a ball.

No. This ball it does not bounce. If I drop it, stays there. Definitely is just to squeeze in your hands. I exercise my hands when I am watching TV.

nope, it is like a bag of sand except that bag is more like a latex rubber material.

Yes, however, the ball does not engage or release as easily as a tennis ball would, especially upon launch. I have a medium size Chuck-it and it's too much of a hassle to use with this ball. It's very lightweight at least.

It bounces pretty well. My 18 month-old grandson who weighs about 24 pounds can make it bounce on his own and he enjoys it.

it is made of plastic, it will feel sticky. pay attention to the exercise not the feel of the ball.

I would have to say no. I would describe the feeling as a smaller bowling ball wrapped in a one-inch layer of sand; and then one or two layers of leather. It's easy on the hands when tossed to you because the layers of sand and leather absorb the hard impact very well. Of course, it is that same impact-absorbing action that will cause the ball to drop to the ground upon impact with a wall. It has no bounce. Note: I did not test this as I don't have a good wall to test without fear of damaging it. If there were to be any bounce, I have to assume it's going to be very little.

The ball is like a heavy wiffle ball. It would not bounce well on grass. Unless you live in the desert, a yard will be too soft. We play in the street by our house.

No, the bounce it has is very little, and you really wouldn't want it to bounce like a Jumparoo once you see the little one scooting along in it! I found the little bounce it did have to be pretty stiff, and I don't think it should be listed as a primary function of the toy.

yes it bounces well. I wish it rocked back and forth easier than it does. My boys are only 19 months old, got it for Christmas 2 months ago and they have been able to move themselves on it since then. Definitely getting better and better as they get bigger.

Yes - it is a tennis ball with a squeaker. The covering is just like a tennis ball and so is the bounce.

No, it does not bounce like a regular ball. It has a slight rebound if thrown at a wall.

No, it's velcroed on so it doesn't bounce. If anything's moving, you need to tighten it up.

Yes it does. That's exactly right. Loosen the ball head a little bit and it moves freely.

The ball itself , It will squeeze flat yes. It doesn't stay flat on its own. It's like a spring .

Yes, it will bounce...it's just like the red rubber handballs we used to have on the play ground. You can totally dribble it like a basketball.

The Spalding High-Bounce is exactly as advertised - a high-bouncing ball! :) It is about the size of a racquetball (just a hair bigger). If you drop the ball and bounce it (using very little force), it will bounce back to about waist level, allowing you to catch it easily. As you increase the force of the bounce, you will get a higher response (the rule of physics applies very well here - Action / Reaction). Hope this helps!

Yes. Once you start bouncing or shooting it, the ball lights up. It shuts off automatically after it sits for awhile. There is no on / off switch, nor is one needed.
