Best Indoor Basketball
I play basketball regularly, indoor and outdoor, in organized leagues, tournaments, in pick-up games, and for fun. I have played with many basketballs over the years, from Moltens to almost the entire line of Spaldings to almost the entire line of Wilsons. The Evolution is by far the best ball I've ever used. I have been using the Evolution that I currently own for over 7 years now, strictly indoors. It has always had superb grip, a wonderful soft feeling that you dont get with any other brands, and just great feel when it rolls off your fingers. In almost every open gym court I go to, where everyone brings their own ball, my Evolution is always the preferred ball picked by everyone to use.

The best for indoor play, and outdoor too
I've bought nothing else but Wilson Evolution basketballs for the last 10 years or so, and as the previous reviewer said, my ball is always used for the game ball. Great weight, feel, grip, and bounce. Will never buy another make/brand. I buy one for the winter indoor season, and it holds up well being used 2 to 3 times a week, then I bring it outdoors for the summer, and it usually lasts the entire summer (on pavement, 2 to 3 times a week) but after that its done. I don't have a problem with it as you cant expect a ball with a soft(er) touch to hold up on pavement. Overall I am extremely happy with it.

received defective or counterfeit product
I agree with everyone else that this is one of the best basketballs. However when I bought it from Amazon I received one with a noticeably different surface which was very slick, without the cushiony grip that makes it so great. Also the name "Wilson" was not outlined in gold which is different from the authentic ones I have seen. My suspicion is that I received a factory dud which someone sold to me as brand new. So my recommendation is not to buy from Amazon at all. If you do, make sure it has the grippy surface you expected.
