I honestly can’t think of anything this ball sounds like other than itself. Kinda like a basketball but weirdly fake sounding with a more synthetic, plastic yet almost metallic and springy impact sound and much more ringing. Inflating them sounded really exaggerated too. The manufacturer must have had some kind of exclusive deal with the school boards because this is the ball that every school had for the kids to play with.
Repressed memories flooding back. Our school gym didn’t always keep them inflated properly, so the strong, taller guys would really launch them and the flaccid rubber things would splat against our young bodies like lead jellyfish.
