So when I got this ball it was exactly how I remember it from my childhood. Same texture same size and even the same color. Me and my friends are insanely hardcore players and show no mercy towards one another and the ball held up well. But the terrain we were playing in wasn't the best because there were dead prickly plants around us. And so the ball has a couple of small holes and deflates over time so we have to keep pumping it up. But overall this is a good product for the price.
