I have ordered this product from two different companies over the past three years. It makes a great gift for graduating senior players to have signed by their teammates. Unfortunately, it requires air to retain its shape, and of course, once players have signed a ball that eventually goes flat it’s a bit difficult to return! I found an ideal reasonably priced ball three years ago that was essentially just a larger version of a tennis ball that didn’t require air, but could not find it again this time around. Even without defects, over time this ball will eventually lose air and inevitably its shape. So unless are willing to take it down from the shelf and air it up every so often I would not recommend this for souvenir use.

Our team signed these for our coaches. Loved it!
