Product Description

The Passback Story

The Passback Football was invented by Mike McGonigle in 1993. While watching a football game on Halloween he noticed a goofy looking pumpkin staring at him. The pumpkin’s wide smile seemed to be daring Mike to pick it up. Mike proceeded to chuck it at the wall and it came back to him in a slight spiral. When he returned home he began lopping his old nerf balls into flat footballs. These, like the pumpkin, came spiraling back when he tossed them against a wall. Thus, the Passback was born.

In the mid 1990's, Hasbro introduced a nerf version of the Passback Football under the name Turbo Blast-Back.The modern Passback looks like a normal football cut in half with a rubber pad on the blunt end. Now available in composite leather or rubber, the Passback has the same weight, feel and stitching of a regulation football.

Title: It actually works -- and it's composite (not just cheezy rubber thankfully)
Review: I just received this today (no pun intended). It rocks. I pumped it up & tried it out --- i'm not some guy who played Qb, i'm just a a guy who loves football, played around as a kid, and this "Pass-back" ball actually works. I was wondering if it would actually function -- turns out i was skeptical but for the price i thought i'd give it a shot..i'd read some of the reviews and sure enough, it's working like a charm.Also-- it "is" composite, not a cheap rubber toy. The main stitches are easy to grip and are actually stitched///woven into the ball (not just molded on top). They are not real material like you'd find on a 100% real ball but they have a good feel none the less..feels like a high-quality material, I'm no chemist so my guess is that they've used something from the auto-industry, such as fake-leather like you'd have in a good car-seat.The only part that feels like rubber is obviously the "rounded-off, bounce-back-end" that's shown in the photo, and it bounces just enough to pop back to you without bouncing too much.In fact i did not even have to adjust the amount of air I pumped into it -- i just pumped it up the way you'd pump any football or basketball, judging by normal "feels ok" type of estimate.Basically it's great for kids & as much as i'd hoped for even for older guys like myself who want indoor/outdoor play or practicing spirals, etc.Just to test it, i found a spot on my wall that's sturdy (were a stud was located behind the wall) and so far, i've gotten up to a dozen throws that bounced-back really well -- and it has not left any dark marks (my wall is a light color, that's one of the worries i had, so no problem).In fact i was basically doubting this thing would work for the price, i'm definitely happy i'd gave it a try, I'm thinking of putting up a video on uTube if i can't find one there.

Title: It works
Review: My 12-year-old son found this on here because he's always asking to play catch, and we're not always able to do so. It's a heavy, hard half a ball. It definitely bounces back when you throw it against the house. That said, however, now we hear the constant hitting of a ball on the side of the house. It keeps him occupied and it is strong/tough, so you don't want to get hit with it. This would work great if you have a dedicated wall or something to throw it against, that you're not too worried about dinging up. Worthwhile purchase, though, as it keeps him occupied until we can play catch with him with a regular football (you can also play catch with this, it's just a bit awkward).

Title: Great for Solo Play
Review: I have an only child, and he has played with this more than anything he got for Christmas! I can't count the number of times he's gone outside with just this football and thrown it against the house. The kiddos in our subdivision have also come over and they've played together with this football. Would definitely buy again 10/10!

Title: Be careful
Review: First one the valve was pushed into the ball… not able to be blown up at all second one valve was okay but still difficult to inflate. Was a gift so unsure if held up but I like the idea of it!
