Product Information
Throwing is one of the hardest things to practise without sight, because a ball that goes quiet the moment it leaves your hand tells you nothing. This one does not go quiet. Bells sit inside the core and four holes are moulded through the shell, so the sound escapes cleanly and the ball can be tracked in the air, heard on landing, and then found again by rolling it or by a helper tapping it. At 115 mm across it fills the palm without needing a wide grip, and at 400 g it has enough mass to fly straight and to be felt properly on release, which makes it useful for teaching throwing technique rather than just for games. The shell is solid natural rubber with a matt finish, so it does not bounce away unpredictably and it survives outdoor use on tarmac and grass. The red is chosen for contrast against most sports surfaces, for players with some usable vision. Used in blind athletics practice, target-throwing games, sensory rooms and adapted PE.
