Although the pump worked on my ball but it kept losing air. The pump was not as easy to use as a regular basketball pump and I returned the ball because it was deflating due to an air leak at the pump. Better to get a regular ball for almost half the price.

This basketball is so cool! The dual action micro pump works. It is kind of hard to pop the micro pump out. You have to push down on the pump,and while you push down on the pump you unscrew it. It takes a long time to pump,though. To deflate the ball,you push down on the pump. The ball doesn't stay inflated for long. The basketball feels good,and it has a good grip. The silver paint fades away quickly. I RECOMEND THAT YOU BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!

i don't really write reviews, but i felt like i needed to say something about this one. maybe its me, but i couldn't get the pump to work. So i bought a new basketball. I bought a regular one, and bought a pump. I wish that infusion thing worked out, because it would have been great to deflate it, put it in my bag, and then pump it up again at the court. But my friend warned me they don't work so good. I'm just stubborn i guess. That's my 2 cents. Take it for what its worth.

We've gone through about 2 or 3 generations of infusion basketballs from spalding. The gimmick isn't worth it and there are better balls like the original zi/o and the excel for outdoor and the TF1000 for indoor.

The ball has good grip and feels good while dribbling, but it is not wise to only rely on the built-in pump. I say this because the pump takes along time to inflate the bass to a useable size and its very tiring.

Is simply saves the match! The pump is not as fast as a regular pump. However you will never lose a match again because you have forgot the pump and the ball is flat.

Besides that, the quality of the ball is as good as a regular ball.

So, IMHO it is a excellent product!

Got this ball about six months ago without even realizing it featured the built-in "pump." It's a decent ball overall, but after several months of use (3-4 hours a week) the "pump" button kind of wears loose. When the ball bounces on the exact spot where the pump button is it deadens and throws off the trajectory of the bounce. I also suspect that every time this happens some air is released, because I keep having to re-inflate the thing with a real pump every couple days. I've had it with this ball; getting a new one this weekend. Just get a regular ball.

doesn't seem to pump too well. air seems to get out little by little somehow, but the product was sent to me in new condition and i'm satisfied.

As the title says......

Got 1 for my nephew and two for my friends' two sons. They all loved'em. They built in pump does seem to take a while to inflate the ball, but it's only their for that reason, if the ball becomes a little deflated. You can still inflate the ball with a regular pump and needle... something that Spalding doesn't seem to mention.

Overall great product! I tried to find it at my local Target, but they were out and were actually more expensive.

if you are planning on buying a ball, these are the tips or the performance of the balls or type of balls out there. one is indoor balls, there are great especially the tf 1000 from spalding. Next is outdoor balls yeah maybe the tf 1000 ppl say its great using indoor and outdoor but just using the ball for outdoors only will bust it quicker so do you wanna spend 50 bucks for a broken ball in a few months for me i wanna get the pefect ball because i have seen the results of a used ball and how they got broken in a long period of playing time and yeah the infusion street is a great ball for this speciefic enviroment so if i were u i would get the nike 1105 or this ball and dont forget the original spalding street it will do the job just fine.The last but not least the indoor outdoor part for me not the best ball but it will do the job just fine the new spalding zio excel ball u could get it for a affordable price and u wont regret it yeah may be thinking oh the tf 1000 may be better because it has a higher price but thats the point if it gets broken u just wasted 50 bucks mah brother and if u bought the zio excel and it gets broken u just wasted 30 dollars so its cheaper to get but if u want the performance i think u should get tf 1000 ( dont blame if you disagree i got this idea from the shoppers i met during my search for my "perfect ball") but for me i think the tf 1000 is only good as a indoor ball because it i think has the quality of a indoor ball and will last longer if only used indoors. I hoped my tips and comments about the basketballs may have helped you somehow on choosing your perfect ball. THANKS
