We bought this for our some who is a senior this year. We picked 5 great pictures of him playing and they did an amazing job of placing the pictures on the ball! Pictures were clear and bright and our son was very impressed.We would definitely make another one if he plays in college!

I have place two very large orders with make-a-ball and they have all been just perfect! I love these for senior gifts!
Ordered 2; 1 for a college senior night and 1 for high school senior night. customer service was awesome and accommodating. Unfortunately, couldn't give 5 stars because panel seams are crinkled on both balls. Hoping that with time it doesn't peel away from the ball.
Great customer service, good quality, perfect coach gifts
Would give 5 stars but the wording was off center on the ball; good quality; great customer service unfortunately the off center
