I bought this ball because it is the closest thing you can find right now to a red, white and blue ball that isn't rubber (and isn't $100 on ebay). It is composite leather and has great feel. For $23 and free shipping, it's hard to beat. One minor comment is that this ball ships without any packaging. Usually, new basketballs come in a box, but this arrived loose, so if you are planning to give this as a gift, it may not work. It was also a bit dirty, which is no big deal, since it gets dirty using it too.

This ball has a great a "broken in" feel when dribbling. Still a smidge big for my 5 yr old but she likes it.

Its no evolution but allround I would say you won't be disappointed for the price. Good grip and quality outside.

I got this ball because my last one got lost. The greatest thing i like it about it is the grip. it has a ratified feeling of handleing on the ball. Great bounce and great for outdoors. If you don't want a $60 ball, this is one to go for.

The ball is amazing, deep groves & beyond a soft feel to it, but find some place that doesn't think it is made of solid gold. This ball should, and does, sell for below $18. At that price it is worth every penny.
