Title: This is a gimmick
Product review: I got this ball as a gift and didn't realize that you can't add air by design. What if you don't like the pressure out of the box and want to add air? Too bad you are SOL. I tried to add some air to make it bounce higher and the valve went into the ball and the ball deflated. Now I have a basketball that was used once that I can't inflate again. What a piece of crap! And it was designed this way. I went to the Spalding website and of course if you try to put air in the ball, it voids the warranty. How nice.
