Are the soccer ball and football as good as the real thing?
If by “real” you mean traditional inflatable balls with a bladder? No. Our balls are made of soft foam and do not have the same bounce or feel as those made of real or synthetic leather filled with compressed air. AryaBall and AryaBat are marketed as toys for children and their parents, not as professional sports equipment. Last updated: Tue, Feb 11 2014 5:24 pm EST
What is the weight and size of the balls and bats?
The AryaBall and AryaBat that we have from the factory is made using silicon molds and the thickness of the plastic chamber and density of the foam are not finalized. The sizes of the balls may change if folks on KS want to see something bigger or smaller. That stated, here are the stats for the prototype: ⢠Soccer ball: 8.75â diameter, 562 oz. ⢠Football: 7â long, 3.75â diameter, 128 oz. ⢠Basegolf: 2â diameter, 12 oz. ⢠Flying Disc: 8â diameter, 14 oz. ⢠Bat: 24â long, 2â diameter, 195 oz.

You have two kids. What about Darya? Does she feel left out?
While it was Arya and I at the park that day, hence calling the company AryaBall, my daughter Darya has played a huge role since. She inspired adding softball and golf, that is why internally we call the bat the “DaryaBat.â Last updated: Tue, Feb 11 2014 5:24 pm EST
Where did the whole flying disc idea come from?
My brother BJ inspired the Frisbee. One day when the kids and I were at the park playing with AryaBall and DaryaBat, he brought a flying disc. When I saw how much the kids loved it, I knew I had to go back to the garage and figure out a way to get it in there too. It took a couple attempts, but the final design really turned out well.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
