Is this as hard as the jolly ball with the handle?

No, it is not hard plastic. It can be compressed once your dog has punctured it. But it will also go back to it's original shape no matter how many times it is punctured. I would not recommend kicking it with your barefoot as it is quite heavy. My dog can easily grab it with her mouth and shake it. She does this when she would rather bark. These are great balls!

I'm not familiar with the jolly ball with the handle but the Bounce-n-Play ball I received is made from a very hard plastic and doesn't bounce much. I purchased it thinking it would be a softer ball like one I had seen at a dog park (which was more like a kick ball---that couldn't be punctured). While the bounce-n-play ball isn't what I expected, my dogs love it.

Yes, it's hard rubber but not hard like a big baseball. I kicked it plenty (in shoes) and I thought it was fine.

Not hard at all. There are side handles just below the lid handles which makes it very easy to carry. I'm very happy with this product.

This is not a hard ball. It is hollow with a squeak vent and a twine-like stuffing inside. There is a round 'spiky ball' that I've seen on Amazon that I believe is hard.

I don't think so...my 4year old niece had a blast showing her sister how to use it...and they even had me crawl through a time or two. It was a tight squeeze, but I made it. :)

Yes it would be hard on you, while good at its job it requires hand strength. I did see other like types that were hank crank that might be easier for you. Good Luck!

No. It is not hard but there is a bit of " technique " to make it easy. If you need a hand contact me will advise. I did it twice, first time was harder than the second, for sure. First was a 5 on difficulty, second was a 2.

It is very hard. Just have someone else whose hands are stronger pull on the sides.

They are certainly one of the toughest on the market though the handle is its weak spot, my 7 month old Chessie had the handle almost chewn off before I took it away from him. He plays great with the regular ball though so that is what I'll stick with.

The Spalding is hollow and bounces higher than any ball you have seen. The pinky does not seem to be hollow. It is heavier and very hard to squeeze. The Spaldine as we called it was the only ball we played with as a kid.

Yes it is! It hurts me to use. Not unbearable but definitely much stronger.

Yes, it is very hard. Unless your cat uses the key, the lever inside wont drop therefore it wont open.

It is really hard. I push the round button on the side of a table or other hard surface and push till the ball comes on.

The product I received has a hollow plastic handle and feels like you could crush it in your hand. I don't think I received the same product others are saying is durable.

I followed the directions. depending on the knife a few swipes seem to do the trick. in answer no it is not too hard. hope this helps. I am not in the least bit mechanically inclined.

In my opinion yes. It's a sturdy wand. At the same time, the type of play shouldn't involve smacking it hard against corners, edges, etc. if used as a wand, it's all good.
