Let me just start this review out by making it clear that i am a huge basketball/NBA/WNBA/CBA fan. I picked up this basketball and started dribbling it. I was amazed at two things.

First of all, it bounces really high and you very rarely have to keep pumping it up like you do with some other basketballs. You can use it both outside/indoors although it is geared for more indoors then outdoors.

Second of all, the grip of the basketball is very good, so it won't slip out of your hands. This has been the only basketball that i have actually owned that doesn't slip out of my hands.

To wrap things up, i will end my review by making it clear that you should go with Spalding and BUY THIS BASKETBALL!

If you play basketball at ALL, you will hate this basketball. It is that hideous rubber material that tears up your hands. The grooves are super deep and are sharp where they go down.

The image makes this ball look MUCH better than it really is.

This is fine if you just play at home and to shoot around, but it would suck to have to play a game with this indoor or outdoor..

Basketball looked nothing like the picture. It's a rubber basketball with good grip. Good basketball for outdoors play.

See how the picture shows the leather version? Yeah, this is rubber and most definitely the most childish ball I have ever owned. Big disappointment.

I'm the guy down the street that likes to shoot a little hoops once in awhile. I'm no pro, but I do like a decent ball. This ball is probably worth the few bucks they're charging but my hopes were dashed when I received it the other day. The product description clearly says "..full grain leather cover" then goes on to say "ultimate INDOOR basketball" while the amazon.com product description says "rubber cover". So this is a case of confusing advertising. Had I read that all before I quickly pressed "buy it now" and had I known it was a regular rubber basketball, I would have continued my search looking for an outdoor leather ball.

Like I said, it's probably worth the money, but if you are looking for a LEATHER BALL look elsewhere.

This ball is misadvertised. It is made of cheap rubber and looks different then the ball in the picture. If you are 4 or younger then this is fine but otherwise get a halfway decent ball.

The basketball is made of rubber and it looks nothing like the picture. The surface is hard and your fingers are easily to get hurt. It is a far cry from being satisfied.

I have brought a spalding outdoor basketball for about 1 month,only palyed 4or5 times ,it's just broken ,there is a slit between the joint of the basketball.
The quality of the product is rather weak!!

This is a cheap outdoor ball; the rubber is more orange than the picture shows. Not what I expected at all; no bargain so don't be fooled. I bought it to be autographed; not suitable.

My son loves this. It's gotten tons of daily use since it arrived. Ever since he went from average height to about 6'6" in 5 months, he's totally into basketball. This was one of his favorite birthday presents...ummm...it arrived in new condition, was inflated, and fits in a hoop. At least that's what he tells me. ;)

If you are looking for a basketball, this is a good one. My 14 year old gave it props...so there ya have it.
