12" Power Pump

Sports reviews of Spalding 8306S Championship Power Pump - 12"

Customer Review: Not too bad and not the greatest.
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

A little hard to use and only comes with one needle. Not real kid friendly.

Customer Review: Poor design - use carefully
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

Like most inexpensive plastic pumps, this pump has a bit of a leakage, which is not a big deal but unlike some other models, this pump does not have a soft tube connecting the pump and the needle - the needle is inserted directly into the pump. My first time using it, I had to press the pump into the ball to minimize the air leakage, and with one careless slip I broke the needle and left it inside the ball, and the ball now bounces with an extra jingle and is pretty much unplayable.

Careful: this pump is not fool proof!

Customer Review: Leaks faster
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

I have to say this pump barely works.

I did read the reviews, and when I saw people saying it leaking, I didn't expect it to be this bad. Maybe I got the super leaking one, but it's definitely unacceptable. I used it only once, and when I tried to put air into the ball, it leaked faster than inflating. So I ended up with a more loose ball and more tired than playing a game!

In one word, I hate it... even with this price

Customer Review: Just barely functional
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

This pump is just *barely* effective at inflating my basketball. When you put the needle in the ball, air starts leaking from the top of the pump immediately. I have to pump as fast as I can to outpace the constant leak.

The pump is cheap, and it's technically working, but it sucks. Buy something else.

Customer Review: Ok if you keep pumping
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

Something was wrong with the valve on this guy. It would let all of the air out of the ball if you stopped pumping. As long as you pulled the needle from the ball whilst mid-pump, you were fine, otherwise you'd lose some air.

I'm not sure if it worked any better when I first bought it.
