This is by far the best ball I've found,but not indestructable.Maxine,my Chessie can shred one of these inside of a week. We only let her have it when we are home and on weekends.But it's a lot better than the lacrosse balls we were using.And I'm glad you redesigned it and removed the nubs on each end because these would be off in 10 minutes. Overall I'm very satisfied with the huck balls.
