The review from Rookie was spot on. In conjunction with the Coleman pump this is a sturdy no-fail hit with youth and kids. It's surprisingly heavy so don't expect 5 year old's to toss it around like a beach ball, but I'd rather have a reliable outdoor ball that can be used over and over than a lightweight alternative that will pop on the first rock it hits. The only downside is the small plastic plugs are totally separate from the ball bladder so they can easily be misplaced when in storage so make sure you put them somewhere where they won't get lost. Also, it was hard to gauge the actual size of the ball so here's another image with an 18 year old that might help: https://app.box.com/s/76d9ul496dlokip6figz
