How to get six bounces out of a skip ball
Keep the throw low. Most people launch a skip ball like a cricket ball and it digs straight in; the trick is to release it almost parallel to the water, about knee height, with a flat wrist. On a calm pool the first bounce should happen within a metre of you.
Water matters more than technique. Flat water gives long runs; chop kills them. A swimming pool early in the morning is the easiest place to learn, a lake at dusk is the prettiest, and surf is the hardest. The 2.4-inch balls hold a bounce slightly better on rough water than the 2.2-inch, which is the only real difference between the sets.
The 3-inch disc in the three-packs behaves differently again — it skims rather than bounces, and it will keep going long after a ball has stopped. Children usually prefer the disc because it is forgiving; adults usually go back to the ball because it is not.
What buyers say about these
These actually work perfectly and my family now has skipping addiction

Perfect sized for littles and bigs alike
My boy is already obsessed with trying to skip rocks like his big sister, so these were a perfect pick for him to play with this summer. It took a little practicing, but before long he was able to get the balls bouncing across the water with ease. The size was smaller than I had expected, but is perfect for big or little hands to play catch. These are great fun for playing even by yourself, but…
Small but mighty!
Perfect entertainment for the pool or just on the inflatables outside! I did thought it was gonna be bigger but actually the size is just perfect so it won't splash all on people's faces.
