"Perfect transaction and Great product......Thank you!!!"
"I was very impressed with Playboule's website and ease of purchase. However, in their "What is a bocci ball made of?" section, I wish they would give details on the actual materials used to make the best bocci balls, such as the Perfetta Club Pro Bocce Ball."
"Ordering was straight-forward and uncomplicated; delivery was quick and as described; item was packed well. Thank you!!"
"the quality of the product was a little lower than I expected. the plastic plug that screws in to hold the light into the ball was not flush and for an $84 bocci ball set I expected better craftsmanship."
"I'm happy the packaged arrived on time before Christmas, was just hoping for a more attractive package containing and holding the actual gift."
"Quick delivery in the Seattle area and I think the Alaska delivery was received as well. Haven't yet heard about the one to E. WA. Thanks!"
"The product arrived as advertised and very promptly. I would certainly do business with Playaboule.com again."

I would absolutely order from them again. I highly recommend them for everyone!"

A rep from Playaboule.com, bedek, has responded:
“Thank you for your review.
You ask the question why we don't out right state exactly what material Perfetta Club Pro balls are made of in our "Whats a bocce ball made of' page. Good question and we don't for 2 reasons.
1) Its proprietary information and a special closely guarded process used by Perfetta.
2) And if we did list the actual material blend specifically or the general process, then other sites would just copy that and claim the same material type.
They do that now with claims that their balls are tournament, professional, advanced player etc and for balls that are 100mm or smaller in size, or perhaps the correct size but far too heavy, don't roll true etc. Fine for backyard play or the beach.
Many claim to have balls made from phenolic materials which is absolutely not true. That process is very expensive and the materials must be heated to a very high temperature and under high pressure in expensive steel molds. Then several steps of additional processes are done to complete the balls. Take this as a clue to how and what the Perfetta sets are made.
All the Chinese imports ( LL Bean, Park n Sun, Franklin, Halex, Spalding etc etc ) are made from thermoset resins (grand sounding name) but all that is is a 2 part epoxy poured into a plastic mold and then let to set a room temperature. That "resin" is just autobody filler and to make the balls even cheaper they will add recycled materials to the inside of the ball. That means the balls are not only not nearly as strong, they vary in weight with each ball, are always to heavy, and won't roll true because the random foreign material inside.
We thought it perhaps more important to describe and show in photos, those aspects specifically, so the customers can be better informed rather than give the material and process a name.”
