Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your silent basketball, consider the following:
- Noise Level: While designed to be quiet, the ball is not entirely silent. Expect a muted sound, especially on harder surfaces. The sound will be significantly less than a traditional basketball.
- Reduced Bounce: Ensure the ball is clean and free from debris. If the bounce feels significantly reduced, inspect the ball for any damage.
- Surface Damage: Avoid dribbling on rough or sharp surfaces that could potentially puncture or tear the foam material.
