While i'd agree that it's not fun to get hit in the face with a hard rubber ball, all the foam balls I've ever used have a considerable amount of drag and are impossible to throw well.
- s_q_b 13y agoAgreed, I'd like to see a kickstarter for a proper dodgeball (proper ballistic profile without risk of injury.) Dodgeball is a tremendously fun game. The danger is that some children use it as an excuse to gang up on a child on the opposite side. Classic rubber dodge balls essentially allow students to deliver a pretty severe beating to that child, in a school sanctioned fashion. This is why most adult dodgeball leagues used weighted heavily padded balls in lieu of the standard rubber playground ball. They suck to throw, but they won't hurt anyone. We need a dodgeball that strikes a happy medium, in order to restore what I think is one of the most fun activities as kids. When we voted what to play in elementary gym class, dodge ball won overwhelming every time. A safe properly throwable ball would do wonders for dodgeball.
