Hoberman Switch Pitch Ball-1 Pack (Colors and Styles May Vary)

Wicked cool product

I can’t remember when I bought this but I bought it to share the shape with my son who is really interested in science and math. It doesn’t seem as though it’s built very well but I know I’ve had it for more than a year now and my 3 year old daughter plays with it all the time and it’s still in perfect shape even after that. Definitely worth the money if you’re interested in one of these “toys” whether for play, or education. It’s size is that of a soft ball . Colors are bright and fun too. Kids love it.

I bought this for my husband. We love the TV show Silicon Valley and they have this ball. I thought it would be a fun gift and we could play when we are together. I wish I could have picked the color but the product is good and I haven't noticed any issues.

One of the funnest fidgets I own. It's so fun to throw the toy up and watch it change colors. It might be a bit hard for an uncoordinated toddler or young child to throw the ball up in the air high enough to get the colors to change, but it provided hours of fun for my husband and brother in laws. The adult men played with this ball for over 2 hours at our Christmas party, and it was dropped countless times. It's been around our house over a year and it's proven to be durable and interesting for a large variety of people. I would not hesitate to suggest this to anyone looking for a fun, inexpensive gift.

I’ve had a ball like this for many years, I didn’t even know they were still around. But I’m so glad they are. I’d had my ball in my bag from the night before. I was going to be sitting around for an hour or so, while my car was being looked at…the next day I went to PT and completely forgot about the ball in my bag, until I was bored and I opened my bag and saw it. The entire PT office was soon throwing my ball around, they liked it so much, I told them they could keep it until my next appointment. Well, on my next visit my PT asked if he could keep it a bit longer, his entire office staff was really enjoying tossing it around. Fearing I’d never get my beloved ball back, I ordered this one. Had it been blue I would’ve just kept it, on my next visit the guy at the front desk was playing with my ball,I opened my hands and he tossed the ball to me, thinking that was the end of his fun, I opened my bag, and tossed the new ball to them, told them it was theirs to keep. They love it, every day it’s passed from person to person so they all get a turn. It brings them such joy. They’ve done so much for me, I’m thrilled I was able to purchase this ball for them.

Never blue, but always green, doesn’t have the same ring. It’s dealers choice as to what color you get. How do I honor PiedPiper now?

This is fun, but don't give it to your friends when they are high. They will play with it all night and ponder the meaning of life while the ball in their hand changes colors when they throw it in the air... and then they miss it and it hits them in the face... but still changed colors. Or do... it could be entertaining. My brother loves it. It feeds that need for a fidget spinner, but doesn't make you look like a 2020 wanabe when you play with it. You just look like an adult that still plays with kids toys. It is great in the office, people pick it up and it starts conversations about the design and manufacturing process that would have to go into building such a device. And it could save your marriage... I don't know how but I'm sure it can.

Always blue! Always blue! Always blue! I have this one on my desk for the sole purpose of being able to feel like I'm apart of Pied Piper for a few minutes per day. It's nice to throw around and for someone that constantly needs to have something in his hands to fiddle with it's a godsend. As a side note, the best way to make the color changes random is to throw it up with a spin. Don't just throw it straight up because then it will just come back down in the same color. Throw it up and add a little bit of a front spin to it, that will make the color it's at when you catch it more random.

Flimsier than it seems in the pics. Too expensive for the quality. Not worth buying.

They seem very hard plastic and higher quality than expected. Still going strong despite daily heavy use by toddlers!

Works great as an outlet for excess energy caused by ADHD for adults and teens when trying to sit still in a boring class. Just don't toss it when in the class; better to fidget with it to cause quite flipping. The color combo you get is random (I got a pink and blue, instead of the purple and yellow advertised, but I was thrilled).

Great present. Arrived on time before Xmas.

Yes it says in the description (colors and styles may vary). Everyone that watches Silicon Valley wants a blue one. This seller in Calgary puts a blue one as the image of what is for sale. But if they have no blue ones, and only red ones, then the seller should display the image of a red one. Putting in brackets (colors and styles may vary) does not absolve from false advertising. That is like selling toilet paper (colors and styles may vary) and sending a purchaser a box of big green leaves. They will function, but it is not preferred and not what was ordered.
