Rubber Construction & Design
We manufacture our rubber Koosh ball from durable natural rubber that flexes and returns to shape play after play. Each ball features approximately 2,000 rubber filaments extending from a solid rubber core, creating the distinctive spiky appearance and soft texture that define the Koosh experience.
The rubber material offers several advantages over foam or fabric alternatives. It withstands moisture, making it ideal for pool play and beach outings. The strands maintain their shape even after thousands of catches, and the rubber surface cleans easily with a damp cloth.
Size & Weight Specifications
The rubber Koosh ball measures approximately 3 inches in diameter when the strands are at rest. Because the rubber filaments compress on impact and spring back immediately, the effective catch surface is slightly larger, giving players a forgiving target.
At just 1.2 ounces, this lightweight design flies smoothly without requiring excessive throwing force. Young children can toss it easily, while the aerodynamic strand pattern keeps flight paths predictable even in light wind.
Care & Cleaning Instructions
Maintaining your rubber Koosh ball requires minimal effort. For routine cleaning, rinse the ball under warm running water while gently massaging the strands to remove surface dirt and dust. A drop of mild dish soap helps dissolve oils from hands.
After washing, shake excess water from the strands and allow the ball to air dry completely before storage. The rubber material dries quickly—usually within 30 minutes at room temperature.

New rubber Koosh balls may have a mild natural rubber scent when first opened. This is normal and indicates authentic rubber construction rather than synthetic materials.
