Sports Product Review

It’s so nice when something works as advertised. A week ago I heard my nine year-old daughter crying downstairs. She’d been out practicing in the backyard with her new soccer ball. She kicked one too high and it went over the fence. That would be nothing to cry over, but it struck the neighbor’s palm tree and punctured on a sharp frond. Her new ball, which she’d had less than a week, was ruined. The only thing to do was throw it away.

Or not. I got a Ball Doctor from Unique Sports, (www.uniquesports.us) and decided to give it a try. The website says, “seals leaks and punctures in all valve inflatable balls without a bladder. Just insert syringe in ball valve and depress plunger. Pump up pressure and bounce ball vigorously. It is fixed for continued play.”

It works. In less than the time it took to tear open the package I’d injected the goo into her ball, re-inflated it and we no longer heard the hissing from the puncture. The ball is as good as new.

Next time you have a football, basketball, soccer or volleyball that won’t hold air, don’t give up on it—rush it to the doctor. One painless shot is all you'll need.
