Question: The game ball sold here, is it the C or U model? Should we expect shallow or deep engraving? Thanks!
Document: It easily absorbed moisture, and the grip is amazing with sweaty palms. Now you can't go wrong with either style, but my preference is the second style I mentioned.People claim that Spalding doesn't sell the "real" NBA game ball to the public, but they actually do. I have seen both styles played with in the NBA (although the second style with the deep writing is more common).Another thing, is that don't expect people to choose your ball for a pick up game.
So there may be something to the leather absorbing moisture thing. I've had mine almost a year, and to me it feels better and better all the time, yet still has never seen game action. I'll admit, it just does not have the tacky and soft feel of a new or not worn out TF1000.Bottom line is: never use it outdoors, which is also true for the TF1000; don't expect anyone to want to use it for the "game" ball.
My wife purchased a basketball for me for our wedding anniversary but we returned it and got this official NBA game ball instead because I wanted the "best". I have never owned any indoor only leather basketballs and had never previously spent over $30 on a basketball. So to spend almost $100 on this ball was definitely a splurge. Unfortunately this ball is definitely not worth the money. The ball is hard and slick and nothing that you'd expect a nice leather basketball to feel like.
!Also, the ball I received came with a 3 leather code starting with U--
The grip on this ball is horrible. I would never pay this much for such a crappy ball I would expect to pay 20 for this and not the 90 i did.
When I finally made the plunge and purchased the official NBA ball, I wasn't sure what to expect. Now that I have been playing with it for a few months, the responsiveness, forgiveness around the rim and overall feel is worth the $$$$. My biggest concern before I made this purchase was the break in period, how to break it in effectively and timely.
I love this ball, but it took a while to get to that point.This is an expensive basketball, one not to be bought on a whim. When I first bought this ball, I made sure I read what others thought about it so I knew what I was getting. As such, I knew to expect a ball that initially felt cheap and rubbery.
Most basketballs today will not bounce consistently straight when dropped vertically . This one, though more expensive, was no exception. I thought buying a top class ball I could expect to be 100% perfectly round at required pressure. Not the case. Sometimes bounces straight sometimes sideways 5degrees. Makes it confusing to dribble if you are a avg adult user.
Do not buy this ball if you aren't willing to put in the time and effort that is required to break this ball in. I've had this ball for 5 months now and it is finally beginning to soften up.Do not expect other people at your local gym to want to use this ball either! This is because everyone is so accustomed to the feel of the composite ball. This ball has a totally different feel to it.To help break it in: I would recommend buying some leather conditioner.
As others have noted there is a different sound when dribbling and when it rips the net and yes I can see why the call it the rock it's a bit heavier then the new composite balls but when you shot the accuracy is better I can see how these guys in the NBA drain long 3's. Well for me a college 3 is about the extent of my decent % range I like the ball expect it will get better as I break it in and would highly recommend.
