So we seem to have the "Pro Turbo Football", the "Power Spiral Football", and the "Playoff Foam Turbo Football".

Ten Time is getting the Pro Turbo Football.

I am about to buy the Power Spiral Football.

Someone else get the Playoff Foam Turbo Football.

I got a knock off pink & black one as a kid. It had no grooves/waves but I had a weak arm anyway so I doubt a real Nerf woulda help my distance.

Oh, and :blackdot: :popcorn: for the tentimes and ghostguy purchases.

My boys are 11 and 13, and there is nothing that provides more hours of entertainment bang for your buck that $7.99 for a Nerf basketball and hoop. The two of them will play with one of those for hours on the weekend. I'll get in and play 2 on 1 with them (we have house rules to even things out of course, ie, if you try to score on me in the paint, there are no fouls called).

The only annoying thing is that when the cover starts to wear off, we have little Nerf shards all around the house. They don't come off the carpet super easy with the vaccuum once they get into the corner.

We finally had to upgrade to the plexiglass backboard with the metal rim, we went through the Nerf hoops too quickly. But the knockoff brands just don't bounce true like a real Nerf basketball.

This is pretty much 99% of the reason I want to have kids. They better be boys.

Having sons is an awesome experience. I'm blessed to have two healthy, well behaved, intelligent boys who love playing sports (and the occasional video game).

Believe it or not, Nerfs can be pretty collectible. Their nostalgic value definitely helps to boost their worth, especially if they have been stored away safely. The Turbo Footballs are one of the more collectible ones to look for, and items in their original packaging tend to sell particularly well. However, keep in mind that just because they are asking that price on eBay doesn't necessarily mean that's what they're really selling for.

Quality job breaking out this alias here.

 
Hasbro seems to only care about making new Nerf guns that fire 70mph. Imo, they are missing out on several opportunities with their sports products. They should have licensing agreements in place with all of the major sports franchises. You could have special edition Nerf football giveaways, artist designed skins, print your own skin, etc.

Power spiral football. Havent had a chance to throw it cause it has been -10 degrees outside, but offhand i would say it does NOT seem to be the same as an original. It even has a hard little nub, kinda like where you would pump it up with air, but it obviously dosnt need air. It also feels a bit lighter and more slippery. Need to scuff it up a bit. Might not have a full report for a couple more weeks. TBC

First off, I haven't held a nerf football in over a decade, but I did love them back in the day.

Upon opening the box I realize the color of my turbo (orange and black) was probably about 75% of the reason my relationship with it went to the next level. That perfect flat black you achieve after a few months of wear and tear. It felt like throwing steel with incredible strength and accuracy. Missles. Bullets. It whizzed through the air like the Charlotte Hornets' evil twin. It made throwing and catching it that much more satisfying.

I was duped by the ad. In the ad I saw potential for that flat black I loved, but what I got was McDonald's, a bad pale red and yellow. I'm going to have to sharpie it and deal with dirty hands :shrug:

But..

I have to admit it does feel pretty good. Maybe a little less of everything (size, density, weight) than the turbo.. but it doesn't exactly feel like it's going to sail when I try to put some zip on it except for the longest throws. It's circumferences are 15" and 21", length 8". I can't find the dimensions of the nerf turbo online (anybody know?), but it looks like this is about 60-70% the size of a professional football.

I'll try to get out and see if I can throw it over that mountain this weekend.
