## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not round nor high bounce
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020*

SHAPE: As others have already mentioned, the ball does not feel or look spherical.  Mostly where the black lines are, the composite leather material around it creates a lot of uneven dents and some parts worse than others.  This affects the bounce and grip if you end up shooting and catch a divot.BOUNCE: I just picked up basketball for the first time during the pandemic and only had experience with Spalding's NBA Street ball prior to this one.  I pumped it to the max 9 psi regulation and it still takes me way too much effort to get the ball to bounce high enough for ball handling.I haven't returned the item yet as I was wondering if breaking the ball in would make a difference, but two weeks in and I'm still not liking this ball.2nd star because it does have good material, but what good is material when the quality of the ball is below mediocre?

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Expected more
  

*by X***3 on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018*

While it felt great out of the box and for a few weeks after, it wore fast with indoor use and just a small amount of bouncing outdoors (not full game play). We expected more from such a highly rated ball. It's too hard and smooth now. Personally, I feel their are better options at the local brick and mortar stores. It holds air fine and the size is good. It's just too smooth for indoor, and wears too easily for outdoor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Love this ball
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2018*

Love this ball.  It will wear out eventually if used outdoors.  I can't say enough how this I/O ball feels like the game balls used indoors.  I bought two, my son keeps one for practice outdoors in the driveway, the other to take to school to use in the gym.
