dude have you seen proper videos of the waboba. its obvious that balls will bounce on water, but the waboba hardly needs effort to make it bounce, and as you saw with that guy serving them tennis balls and they hardly even reached a foot in height wen bouncing. with the waboba you dont need effort to make it bounce and with no effort it will reach about 1 foot easily and maybe just reaching 2? but if that guy served a waboba then it would be like 6 foot in the air. point proven homo grommo?!

Big deal. I've bought Waboba balls and used them. They bounce fine sure. A hand thrown tennis ball will bounce a few times on water, as will many many other ordinary balls.

I can bounce a tennis ball over the top of my dog in the water. If they have a lycra covering they will usually bounce better as the fine rough surface causes boundary layer separation, and helps them skip.

Waboba advertises "the patented ball that bounces on water" All balls can skip on water !

Next time try a waterbag when you are testing objects performing on water. When it comes to interaction on the water and playability, there is a big difference between a water absorbing bag and a ball that repells water like a tennis ball or a waterball or stress ball. The kinestetics and physics of a waterbag, impact on the water surface or a hard surface or catching a wet object are very different.

the Waboba does bounce on water, but it's not as easy as it looks!

However you can bounce a tennis ball on water just by throwing it by hand. You don't need a racquet or need to throw it too hard. Virtually any other sort of cheap ball will also bounce.
