This flopball enables you to do standard flopball handsack tricks but adds in the element of grabs using the tassels, they seem durable enough to withstand some pretty rough play but I wouldnt go tugging on them. You can catch it by the tassels and spin it and catch it and keep on jammin. These flops also help you to show off tricks since they appear big due to the flashy lions mane of red strings they come equipped with.
