Holds air well - winter air can deplete air in ball and you have to blow up again - not so easy to pull plug out once placed but I find this with all balls-
Does hold air well and no problems with seams popping!!
Edit: July 2017. The ball has finally started to lose air to the point where I have to blow more air into it every week or 10 days. The pin is really falling apart and it's very difficult to take it out. So I got myself a new one -- same product.
