Great ball
This is one of the best indoor/outdoor balls available. So many balls these days just don't bounce well. This one actually has a nice bounce and the cover has a nice feel to it.
Best ball for price
Granted, I've only had this ball for one day. Shot around at the park for a few hours and played a few pick up games. This was of course the ball of choice. Other balls available today for play were a pretty new Spalding Neverflat and a Rawlings Truth with a big "X" on it. The Spalding Neverflat was ironically very flat (the owner didn't know how to inflate it), and the Rawlings was pretty beat although it was okay.
Now, in this price range (retail price), from my experience this is the best ball available for indoor and outdoor use (especially compared to the Spalding zi/o excel, which is also a pretty good ball). The composite leather, the channels, the weight, the soft touch, the way it bounces, everything is awesome like a good indoor ball. I'll update this review after a lot of outdoor use to see if the ball holds up, which it should based on other reviews on the 'net. At the sale price, if you need a good indoor/outdoor ball, I wouldn't hesitate on this one.
Good outdoor basketball
I just bought my second one of these. The other one my son is using daily at school for recess. I play a lot of outdoor basketball and this ball has held up by far the best. Grip stays pretty good, ball has a soft feel, and bounces great. Good ball.
