Most practice balls are only 2 ply layers, but this Stadium size 5 netball is a 3 ply layerpractice ball. Having that additional layer means that it will keep its shape better than an ordinary 2 ply ball.

The ball is discounted because enroute to New Zealand some of the balls in the shipment became mouldy. As a result some of the remainder of the balls suffered some of spots of discolouring, and a slight smell.

The ball would be great for a club or school.The playability of the ball is unaffected. During normal netball play or practice,it would collect more knocks and bruises than anyexisting colour spots.
