We have had ours for over 2 years and my son still loves this. Considering that my son got this when he was 4 and he is now 6- this is one of the only toys that has grown with him over the years and he still uses frequently. The quality is great. It still has great sound and has held together nicely. I think the ball that came with it is useful, but it's nice too because you can also use other balls with this goal. We love it!

Sorry, don't know...do not buy boading balls from Amazon, too many defects, seriously! Buy them from http://baodingballs.com/ thet got good prices, great quality and they're sized in mm's! You'll have the option to pay through Amazon or PayPal. I could not digress more about not buying any boading balls from random sellers on Amazon! I had to have my moneyrefunded because they were crap!

The Baden is the best ball. The grip is excellent, lasts longer and keeps it's shape. I use Baden 4 days a week for full court games and they last forever. It's always the ball everyone wants to play with even when Wilson's are around.

I can't speak for the cheaper Urban rebounder; I purchased my Rebound Air model back in Feb 2012 and have been very pleased with it. My daughter uses it more often than I do now-a-days, however when I do get on it and perform rebound work on my recovery workout days, I haven't noticed any "rebound weakening" aka worn-out springs over the past 21 months of usage.Good luck with your decision!

That sounds truly strange as these balls are very sturdy. Is it possible it was defective in some way? I did, however, purchase a bigger ball. So far, it has held up pretty well. Check how long you've had it to see if it is still covered under their warranty, and let Gaiam know about your experience.

I'd definitely give it a try. Our ball is 2.5 years old and is the only one we've found to last with our rottweiler/pit mix.

Laney, I really don't know about the construction. I suppose the boxes would tell you all you need to know. I've been a real fan of this ball, but recently switched to the Wilson Staff that is 50 compression. They definitely stop on the green but seem to be longer.

I've owned my Cellerciser for years now. So obviously I don't have a "2014" model, but at the time of purchase I remember wondering if Amazon was selling the "latest" model. So I called the Cellerciser company with my concerns. They assured me that there was no reason to be concerrned that Amazon might be selling "old" models. I haven't heard anything about a "new and improved" 2014 model. But my sister just purchased a Cellerciser last month, directly from the Cellerciser company. If there is a new model out there, they should be selling it. I can tell you that my sister's rebounder looks exactly the same as mine. When I used hers, the mat felt slightly firmer than mine when I was standing still, but when bouncing it felt exactly the same as mine. Iuse my Cellersiser daily so that might account for the difference in the feel of the mat. New or old you can't go wrong with a Cellerciser I've never had an issue with mine, and I still love it.

I have no idea. But if I were shopping a video head now and I had money to burn, I'd definitely take a look at what Really Right Stuff has produced. I have several of their ball heads and they are nothing but quality. Pricey, but fantastic.

Try this. I found these balls at office max. If you have an office max near by. Call and see if they carry them. If they do go and check them out. Then if you like them decide on were you want to buy them.

I was shocked by the varying quality of my latest order. Mine, too, were thin and cheap. I am not sure if the quality has improved.

Yep, just make sure you get the U-Series ball because it doesn't have the shiny finish on it. These balls are easier to break in (still 6 to 9 months of heavy use).

They made changes based on some of their previous customer requests/comments/complaints. Fairly minor but, newer is better usually. Nothing negative in new revision that I know of.

The felt is much cheaper than normal balls and wears out quickly. If you dont hit hard you should be OK.
