Here’s a review of the Jasonwell Pool Beach Water Football (2‑pack) — what it does well, what to watch out for, and whether it’s right for you.
What the Product Is
The Jasonwell Pool Beach Water Football set includes:
- Two waterproof footballs made with a high‑quality inflatable bladder and water‑resistant soft fabric.
- Double‑laced surfaces for enhanced grip (important when wet).
- A pump (with needles) included for inflation.
- Sizes are roughly ~11.4 inches for the larger variant.
It’s meant for play in water environments like pools, beaches, lakesides, and also for backyard fun.
What It Does Well (Pros)
- Waterproof & Doesn’t Absorb Water
A major plus: the material is water‑resistant, so the ball doesn’t soak up water and become heavy. That means better handling and less fatigue when playing in the pool or ocean. - Good Grip Even When Wet
The double‑laced design / textured surface helps with grip. Users report that even when the ball is wet or sandy, it’s easier to catch and throw than totally smooth water toys. - Fun & Family‑Friendly
It works well across ages — kids, teens, adults can all enjoy. Because it’s soft (in the sense of inflatable/water toy), it’s safer than hard balls in shallow pool play. Also good value: you get two balls + a pump. - Bright / Visible Colors
Bright colors make the balls easy to spot in water or sand. Useful so you don’t lose them when they float or drift. - Portability / Pack‑Included Pump
Since the set includes a pump and is inflatable, you can deflate, pack them, take to beach or pool easily. The included accessories are helpful.
What It’s Less Good At / Limitations (Cons)
- Size & Flight / Throwing Distance
Because it’s designed for water play and is relatively soft, the balls won’t fly as far or with as much precision as a standard hard football. Wind, water resistance, and softness reduce throwing distance. Some users mention this. - Pump Quality / Inflation Issues
A few users report that the included pump or needle can be fragile, or that inflation is a bit finicky. The pump may not be super high quality. Over time, valves can leak or lose air. - Durability Under Rough Use
While good for casual play, the soft fabric and seams may wear, especially with rough surfaces (rocks, sharp edges) or if used often on sand or concrete. It’s not meant for heavy, competitive use. Expect some wear and tear. - Not for Serious Football Training
If you’re looking for a football for proper passing drills, strong kicks, game‑level play, this is more toy / recreational. The shape, firmness, and material won’t match regulation footballs. So not ideal for formal practice.
Who It’s Best For
- Families or groups going to the pool or beach who want a fun, safe ball for casual throwing and catching.
- Kids and teens who enjoy water games.
- People looking for a portable, easy to use ball for vacations, lake trips, etc.
- Parties or gatherings where you want something light, safe, and easy to use around water.
Who It Might Not Suit
- Serious or competitive players wanting regulation hardness, distance, etc.
- Very young kids who may struggle with grip or coordination. (Though this is safer than solid balls, supervision is still needed.)
- Environments with sharp surfaces or rough ground that could damage the material.
Verdict
Overall, the Jasonwell Pool Beach Water Football set is a solid choice if your priority is fun, safety, and versatility in water and outdoor settings. It gives quite good value: two balls + pump, decent grip, visibility, waterproof design. If you treat it as a toy rather than a precision tool, you’ll likely be very satisfied.
