| Ball | Proof | Style (x2 points) | Clean? | Hand Feel | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Jack Clear bouncy ball | 6/10 | 6/10 | 5/10 | 5.75/10 -- I have had this ball for a handful of years now. It is alright. the surface is slightly sticky and has become slightly foggy with use. I have yet to particularly favour a ball in this style--image card in the middle, but given this is Applejack, I feel more generous. | |
| Split Blue and Magenta Bouncy Ball | 6/10 | 7/10 | 8/10 | 6.75/10 -- Relatively good ball. The surface feels similar to a good quality eraser. Seam is noticable. The machine dispensed 2 balls during one lucky pull, and this was one of them. The other I have seemed to misplace but will find ASAP. | |
| Split Orange and Yellow bouncy ball | 5/10 | 7/10 | 6/10 | 5.75/10 -- This one is fine. The gritty texture is pleasant, but I can imagine it feeling a little abrasive over time. Seam is very visible and accentuate by its own gritty texture. | |
| Split Teal and Pink Bouncy Ball | 9/10 | 8/10 | 7/10 | 8.25/10 -- Really gorgeous ball with shifting colours as it is rolled. Smooth and slightly squishy. | |
| Orange Translucent bouncy ball | 6/10 | 5/10 | 4/10 | 5.25/10 -- There is something really cool about this ball, but I cant shake that the sensation on the hands is not too kind, and the latex-y shininess of the ball only exists on one half. | |
| Goopy Green boucny ball | 5/10 | 8/10 | 6/10 | 6/10 -- I'm not too into this translucent green with this white... looks like milk in some drink its not supposed to be in that has too much acid, so the milk curdles. Besides this, nice hard smooth ball. | |
| Green with Black Stars Bouncy Ball | 5/10 (BONUS: Spin-ability is beyond me. +1) | 7/10 | 7/10 | 6.5/10 -- Unfortunately, the colouring and styling of this ball is just a little bit too hip right now. I feel it is slighty offensive for this reason. beyond that, it is an average ball.. nothing too exciting. i keep it in my studio and it is relatviely clean. Spins great. | |
| Orange with Baseball Pattern Bouncy Ball | -- | -- | -- | UPDATE. This ball is in a private collection | |
| Jade Swirl Bouncy Ball | 7/10 | 6/10 | 8/10 | 7/10 -- beautiful patches of colour on this. looks like a photoshop gradient map preset. Also noticed there is a matte patch in the center of the lime green area. really good range of textural interest. | |
| Red/black/white swish bouncy ball | -- | -- | -- |
UPDATE. This ball is in a private collection. |
Pink Sparkly bouncy ball (2) | -- | -- | -- |
UPDATE. This ball is in a private collection. |
| LARGE Multicoloured striped Bouncy Ball | 6.5/10 | 6/10 | 8/10 | 6.75/10 -- Parent of small ball that I had pulled the last time i went to the safeway dispenser. I
think
her
stripes work better at this scale. I gravitate towards her more. UPDATE. This ball is in a private collection. |
|
| Old Man Bouncy Ball | 6/10 | 9/10 | 7/10 | 7/10 -- I have had this ball for 10 plus years. It was actually my brothers. we had both wanted bouncy balls from an UP themed vending machine outside a chinese restuarant. He got this one and I got the one I wanted, the dog. I dont remember their names anymore. The feel is silky,almost llike skin. This one is unique. The core is foam and I think the graphic has aged over time. | |
| Multicoloured Striped Bounce Ball | 5/10 | 6/10 | 4/10 | 5/10 -- Its okay. The stripes roughly remind me of Hudsons bay (not good), and
theres a part of it that reminds me
of the joker. While glossy, the texture is still slightly sticky and uncomfortable to be happy with.
Paid for this with a US quarter.
UPDATE. This ball is currently lost UPDATE. This ball has been found in the pocket of my fleece vest zip up |
|
| Emerald Green Tie Dye Bouncy Ball | 4/10 | 7/10 | 5/10 | 5/10-- Not a ball that wows me, really. Maybe I feel that way because I have seen multiple balls in this style and it feels less important. | |
| Pink Sparkly Bounce Ball | 9/10 | 6/10 | 4/10 | 7/10-- One of my favourites right now to look at. This is one of those balls that feel like they shouldn't be touched because you can feel the oils on your skin clouding up the surface. Currently, keeping it on my bookshelf in a seashell like a pearl. | |
| Orange Jack O Lantern Bouncy Ball | 1/10 | 8/10 | 5/10 | 3.75/10-- I think this one is too much. Too on the nose for the season (I pulled this in the middle of October). THis does not make me feel serpendipedous and instead makes me feel suspicious. Less trusting | |
| Gritty Blue Green Split Bouncy Ball | 7/10 | 3/10 | 8/10 | 6.25/10-- Really wonderful soft look that shifts as it turns. Sensory wonderland to the hand. But, is a nightmare to keep clean. RIght now there are white specks in all the valleys. I cant tell if its dead skin or flakes of rubber lifting. Either way, makes the experience less than ideal. Good for playing with in the dark for this reason. |
