Editorial Review
This official-size varsity basketball is endorsed by the NBA, so you know it has to be good--it's even signed by NBA Commissioner David Stern. We found it to have superlative grip and just the right amount of bounce for outdoor action. This premium Spalding ball has a durable rubber cover that is designed to last through all the dribbling, lay-ups, and slam dunks you can dish out. This men's size (29.5 inches) basketball is perfect for the adult or older teenaged beginning player. --M. Sullivan

Customer Reviews

Very good basketball.
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!

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

RUBBER!
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..
