These
brand new Wham-O® Super Balls® are made in
the new slightly-larger 1 13/16" "2010 Mold" and
are the first ever Wham-O® Super Balls®
to have no molded-in logo - - rather the logo is printed on the ball.
Additionally they're the first ever Wham-O® Super Ball®
to not say "Wham-O®"
on the ball - not anywhere (just the name
SuperBall®
and a lot number printed on the ball... and the name China molded in to the ball
- kind of near the ball's seam).
Other
differences are that the balls are again a different material than the last
iteration, are painstakingly packaged in a clear
protective bubble and a fancy new "triangular" box (which no longer
ships in an envelope), and they sink in
water like the original '65 balls. :)
That said... that's where the comparison ends. They still don't bounce
like the good ole' '65's.
Please note the following drop-test comparisons. Also please note that
they are in no way scientific. If fact I have no way
to know whether a drop-test comparison necessarily relates to how the balls
perform when some amount of downward force
is applied behind them. The drop-test is the only way I can know that the
forces behind the ball are similar (like none).
I suppose that It is entirely possible however that a lesser-performing ball (in
a drop test) could outperform another with added force.
Dropped from about 6' they're, on average, not quite on par with the last (2007) version
of the ball (on the red & white card),
which was not quite "up there" with the ones before that (on the circular green
card), which were not nearly as "lively" as the
'98
("commemorative") and '76" balls, which all fail by comparison to the '65 balls
(but these still bounce better than those stinky 2001 balls! :).

By the
way... the new packages suggest that they bounce up to 75 feet. Slamming
it on the ground I got a good 50 feet
or so out of it, so I suppose off-of-a-trampoline, or in conjunction with a
really really strong updraft, that 75 feet is possible.
I'd love to hear from anyone that achieves 75 feet - - how you did it and how
you measured it. (but please BE SAFE! :)
Measuring
approximately 1 13/16" in diameter, (1/8" smaller
than the original large '65's),
these are the largest Wham-O
® has made since the similarly-sized stinky 2001 balls, they feature the new
"2010" printed
logo,
and are
all mint in their original packaging (unless you choose to have them shipped
loose to save shipping costs).
Balls are made in black (only) and bear a white printed logo (no-atom) that
is unlike any other before.
Additionally, as mentioned, the Wham-O® name is not
on the ball for the first time ever (well except for the golf balls which had
no logo).
Balls are $2.99 each (minimum order is five (5) balls for $14.95 plus
sales tax (if applicable) and Priority Mail shipping.
Shipping is typically $5.95* (for five balls shipped loose) or $10.70* shipping
for from 5 to 20 balls in their individual packages)
