Ball doesn't count well
This is a good inside or basement soccor ball for practicing juggling. However, the "counter" aspect is kind of silly. It counts all significant bumps, including the ones where it bump, bump, bumps on the floor. So the "score" often has more to do with how many times it bumped on the floor when it got away than how many times my son juggled it. Figuring out how to press the bottons to reset it and change its mode takes more patience than most kids with a ball in their hands have. Personally, I wouldn't purchase this again.

Doesn't work, don't waste your time & $$
My son recently got this ball as a birthday present. First, I needed to go buy 2 "watch-type" batteries for the counter to work. Also, you need a pretty small screwdriver to be able to remove the screws holding the counter mechanism onto the ball.

The battery cover doesn't close securely, so a medium hard bump will move the batteries, and shuts the counter off. You then need to remove the counter mechanism, and open and close the batter cover. I regret spending the $[...] for the batteries.

We thought that even though the counter mechanism doesn't work, we could use it as a small soccer ball just to kick around. Even that didn't prove to be an option. There is a foam "frame" on top of the counter mechanism (I guess to protect the counter). But, it ends up coming off once the ball is kicked. Once that happens, the ball wobbles when it rolls over the spot with the missing foam frame.

Unfortunately, this is heading right for the trash!
