5.0 out of 5 stars Wow this ball is sick.... But be aware..., June 20, 2008

Yes, this ball will improve your game by a lot. But this ball is very spoiling. Once you start playing with this ball, all other balls will not have that same feel, so your shot will be different. Yes, some will say who cares what kind of ball it is, if you have a good shot you have a good shot. But in reality, the feel of the ball affects the way you shoot. And this ball has incredible feel. Just be aware that once you get accustomed to shooting this ball, you might have a hard time going back.

AWESOME Basketball. I have never seen anything like this ball. It has a great grip, and is soft to the touch, but what really makes this ball unique is the "wave style" This gives the shooter a really good feel and enhances rotation. I understand that this is a regulation ball approved for highschool play. Only downside is that if this is the ball you practice with, but not use in a real game, it might give you a disadvantage to go back to a regular ball. You can certainly find less expensive basketballs, but if you want a really good ball, I would recommend the "WAVE"

This is one of my favorite basketballs. Initially picked it up in a store, and fell in love with the grooves. Has a nice grip that will help shooting and ball handling. Ball has a great feel to it. Amazon's price beat in-store price. I coach a youth team and they are drawn to this type of ball. I also have a 28.5 size basketball that I purchased in a store. Get it.
