Looks good; feels good; no effect on whether or not you are good, which is a good thing in a ball
Got this in a size 6 as a first ball for my tween daughter just developing an interest in basketball. She felt like she was getting a serious, primo ball, and I felt like I was getting a good deal. So far neither of us has changed our mind. Would have been nice if it also magically made me a passable ball handler and/or shooter, but I don't hold it against the ball that I still suck.

Fantastic Ball
I LOVE this ball! It's nice and bouncy, has a great grip, and the smaller women's NCAA size helps me gain so much control over the men's official size. It adds so much pleasure to shooting hoops! I looked and tried to many basketballs before setting on this. I purchased 2 by mistake and was going to return the other one, but I like it so much, its great to have a second great ball for others to use. A+

Quality Ball
This is a good basketball that is what it claims......a suitable ball for outdoor/indoor use. Nice tack (not too sticky, as some reviews claimed), and isn't hard-as-a-rock (which is good for my 8 year-old daughter).I couldn't believe some of the negative reviews I read:Yes - The ball gets slippery when it gets wetYes - The grip on the ball will wear off when playing on outdoor surfacesYes - It will get dirty and rough-looking from playing with it outsideThese are all going to be negative side-effects from playing on concrete with ANY leather-composite ball! If you want a ball that doesn't lose it's grip as quickly, a cheaper rubber ball is a better bet. But if you want the authentic leather feel of a real leather ball that serves it's purpose and will hold up just as good as any of its kind, buy this ball.

Ball in no box
I was expecting the ball to be in the container that you would get it in at a retail store but it was just in a shipping box. The ball seemed new so I really don’t care as it is more environmental friendly, but is something to keep in mind if you’re giving it as a gift to someone like I am.

Solid Quailty
You Gotta break it in but this one has a nice grip, I play about 5x a Week for 2 hours Outdoors and this ball lasted a solid 3 monthsbefore I bought a second one. I like the tack soft grip of this ball but if you play outdoors on dusty courts it can get a little slippery but understandable. But the Soft touch is great and feels like the expensive indoor game balls. It does its job so far Im very satisfied

Nice indoor ball for the price!
This is a good ball that will hold up well if you stick to using it indoors. It will quickly lose its soft/tacky feel though if used outdoors.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
This basketball looks and feels as good as balls I've paid 3 times more for. It looks like a leather basketball and has that good feeling grip of leather, but it's not so you can play indoors, or outdoors without worrying about wearing it down. I can't wait to get it on the court. The ball came fully inflated which is a great plus. And, with Amazon Prime's free, 2 day shipping, I got a great basketball under $20. I can't believe it! I highly recommend this product for basketball lovers of all ages and skill levels. Have fun! I know I will.
