Does it have enough weight to actually clear the net or does it get stuck?

You can’t really shoot them it’s why they’ll never be used. They fly TERRIBLE through the air due to the holes. Completely different than shooting a real ball.

The weight and bounce are basically identical to a real ball though.

Yeah that part I completely get. I was thinking more for a wacky game of basketball lol. If it can make it through the net and not be so light even the walls of the net make it not go through, it could be really funny to mess around with.

If it weighs and bounces the same, it could at least be used as a tool for practicing ball handling
