Great quality!
You can see the quality just by taking it out of the packaging. I have been wanting an outdoor/indoor ball, this is perfect. It is well made, bounces well, and honestly a game changer. I do have to share with my 14 year old son, but it's a great outdoor activity we both enjoy. As long as you keep th...

Depends on the size
I have used the 29.5 for some time. I have had several. Great outdoor ball with decent lifespan. I ordered the 27.5 for my 6 year old daughter to practice. The 27.5 is awful. It's hard as a rock, and isn't balanced. The dribble isn't consistent.

I got this item for a relative who is a college student that loves to play basketball.Spalding is a brand we are familiar with so naturally this brand was the choice for us. He loves this ball. The only down side is that it can only be used indoors which is my fault for not completely reading the information about it. He still uses it to practice in his school gym and our local rec center.
Fun basketball

I bought this to replace a different model ball from Spalding. I hope it lasts. For the price this is a good choice. It has a good feel, inflates well, has maintained air pressure and has a good bounce. My son Really like the feel and grip of this ball. The ball does a great job holding its air well. Overall the price was very reasonable for this level of quality. The basketball has been a total hit in our house. I totally recommend it.

My kiddos go through basketballs like crazy, usually because they bring indoor balls outside. But this one they finally got the picture and kept it indoor only. Grip is really good, no issues of it being too slippery. It is a regulation size ball, so my husband plays with them as well. We are very happy with it.
Great Basketbal lfor Indoor or Out!

We have mainly used this on our outside court, the ball has great grip and easy to hold on to, great bounce, not uneven or wobbly. Has a soft leather feel to it and has held up even after playing on rocky pavement. Holds air really well. We have used it quit a bit in the last month and haven't had to air it up yet.
Awesome ball

I got my Spalding basketball the othe day to play with my Grandson. It's great quality and a name you can trust. There are other brands out there but in my opinion no other brand is as good as Spalding. The quality is great and I know it will last a long time.
