You made a video that's almost 9 minutes and you spend less than 5 seconds on showing how the ball bounces, the only thing most people are interested in.🤣
video starts at 8:00
and ends at 8:11

TY!!!
Bless you!!
Thank fuck oh my god
Imagine putting years researching this for the NBA players to finally hate it and get rid of it
I never wanna see that ball in a real game and I never wanna bounce it.
Its literally pointless innovation lol all this money they spent doing research is proly crazy🤦🏾♂️
But it’s just how science works 😅
I need to see a sharpshooter hitting shots with this ball I am still curious about the holes effecting the way the ball travels in air
Imagine playing with this on a real basketball court at a park... and getting all kind of crap stuck inside of it.😂😂😂
all the "crap" will also go out, and you can still shower the ball to remove it, so dirt should not be an issue at all
@@KyleCox404 it only works fine after you're done but not if crap starts getting inside of the ball during the game and there ain't no where to rinse it off
@@protonme Crap will go in and crap will go out, when the ball baunces. The Crap that is traped inside won't be an issue, I don't see any problems.
Hasn't Adam Silver already taken the air out of the game?
First toughts that popped up in my head was regarding aero dynamics. Since the new ball have holes, air will pass through it and not around it. How does that affect the aero dynamic properties of the ball? Will it travel further when you throw it with the same amount of force as a regular ball? And will the holes affect the movement of the ball in the air? Or is the design of the holes such that they cancel the air flow out some how to mimic a traditional basket ball? A bit more technical insight would have been interesting to get hold of. Great video tho 🙂
My guess would be that air will not pass through the holes, but that the holes will act similarly to dimples on golf balls. Dimples on golf balls small uniform pockets for air around the ball in a spinning motion which helps them to maintain straight line trajectory better and overall results in less resistance and more consistency in the path of travel. I would assume the effect won't make nearly the same level of difference as it does on a golf ball though considering a basketball is not travelling nor spinning nearly as fast
@@JimJam1069, interesting thougth.. that's the kind of information i miss in this video 🙂
Be like throwing a whiffle ball.
How does it handle moisture for grip and what would it due during a windy day on a court? Could it spin a little funny compared to a normal basketball? I wonder how it would handle slamming to the ground.
HOW ARE FANS SUPPOSED TO GET AUTOGRAPHS?!?!????
you…. actually make a decent point
The short form content is amazing but sometimes these longer videos are better, keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I think he was being sarcastic
there must be some difference in how it travels through air... The holes makes for air to pass through, probably reducing the turbulence behind and reducing drag... the holes may also act like dimples on a golfball... ?
Really can’t wait until they release them to the public ❤
I imagine all those holes would mean the ball even if very bouncy is gonna catch more air resistance and fly through the air more slowly when you shoot.
@@Majora96 They have spent a lot of money and done so much research. The weight of the ball, size of the holes, etc. they made sure it matches the aerodynamics of a normal ball.
I'm gonna go on a limb here and say that, its gonna be a huge game-changer in the NBA. I'm guessing that new airless basketball is gonna cost a small fortune. I hope that it'll be worth it, if it really is... I'm getting one.
why would it be a game changer?
They just released it today for $2500!
Hell yeah dude I literally wanted to see a video of this ball and BOOM there's Tyler
I'm curious as to when these will become readily available to the public
"no air"
There's air in and all over that thing!
When you showed it drop for like 2 seconds it bounced way less then the actual basketball 💀
i just want to hear this ball hit the ground. Damn is so hard, every video about this ball is just video and music.
This Channel is low key a W
1:20 "From being made out of genuine leather" 🤔 Why do you say that like it's an old material that they used but don't use anymore. Today's official NBA game balls are still made out of genuine leather. Lol
Yeah.... Let's just get on with the ball... "Please" 🙏
I wonder how the different surface will impact shooting.
they are less portable since they can't be deflates, which would make a difference in transportation.
What
_what_
It's funny how Westbrook George and harden are all on the same team now the three biggest complainers on 1 team
I don’t know if it will ever reach the NBA court…… air resistance being the main reason. It’s totally different like a wiffle ball flying through the air.
How do you know? Have u tried one?
@@ariwhitchurch3769have you?
It has an amazing bounce! I am very impressed!
And it s a very silent ball, the bounce just make a tiny noise .
I'm curious to see a volleyball made this way.
Great for playground ball, never having to worry about bringing a pump would be great, but this will never be the NBA.
For players to approve, I'm guessing the airless weights the same as the standard ball, correct?
How did Wilson achieved the weight?
I don't get the "sustainability" argument. How is a polymer derived from fossil fuels more sustainable than leather, which comes from cows which eat grass? It's totally inverted.
3:14 LIFE IS ROBLOX
The style looks very similar to a Chinese ivory craft ball😀
Now make some tires
7:57
My man said russel Westbrook lol his shot could only get better from a new ball
First reaction is they need to make the ball a bright color, like neon yellow or neon orange. That way it will be more visible when the matches are televised. If you make a black ball, the viewers are going to have a hard time seeing the ball on tv and will lose interest in basketball. Make the ball more visible and you will have a more enjoyable viewer experience. Think about why the tennis balls are bright yellow. Also, make the courts of a color that contrasts with the ball, the enhance visibility. This will also improve the experience for the public attending the games in person
All those words...I should have guessed. ...
Is it the same weight
I don t get it, how to use it outdoor, imagine small rocks on the asphalt court getting inside. It would be almost impossible to get it out.
Can a normal person go to Chicago and try it out
I think you should've included the sound of the bounce or any actual footage. Sometimes we don't need to be "innovative". A "cheaper" option is not better idc how you package it lol
Leather basketball? Casual basketballs don't seem to be made out of leather.
BALL'S.🧐
Is this a padid advertisement? You avoided talking about the obvious concerns and flaws.
Correct. It looks like a paid commercial.
1. Bouncing. Does it stay stable over the time? Or decreases when used? Any change on the bouncing characteristics, means "new balls" will be introduced every game or like in tennis, after some playing time that is shorter than the game.
2. Universal usage. It is the opposite. The surface determines the bouncing. A "perfect" ball for a floating wood NBA court will bounce too much or not enough on the concrete court in the park. No adjustment possible. Let the ball from 1.80m and it has to bounce bounce between 1.20m and 1.40m on the first bouncing.
3. Environmental friendly. Plastic. It is plastic, not a "recyclable powder". Leather is ecological. Plastic not. And if we need several balls per game or practice time. It will be a disaster. Recycling comes to a cost of energy. It is not free in terms of sustainability.
And there will be many more. Just ignoring them is to do advertising of the product.
Man that has air there are holes that air can go through the ball so it ain't airless
Can having the production to make a 3d printed ball??? This is just making so they can charge more for it.
What if something get's stuck inside it? Like a rock that manages to wedge into the holes?
don't worry about it
wont airdynamic change?
Sorry I know this is late but was the basketball quieter than usual
bro, make the ball in the thumbnail black, it will attract more people i guess, I hope it will help you grow, have a good day!
what about the weight ???
WHERE DO I BUY THIS IVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE ON AMAZON
It's not for sale. Lol don't you 0ay attention
@@HeyThatWeirdGuy *pay
$550 for a 3d printed helmet is wild dude
Tell them to make a football now
First time watching this channel and it feels like I’m watching a TikTok. Best of luck but Goodbye
I see that you removed the drop test that you showed in your shorts. There it is obvious it doesnt bounce as much. But I can see that after you shot the ball and it went through the hoop it didnt bounce like a normal basketball so its still far away from being NBA ready.
what if a pebble got inside the ball and can't get it out?
The pebbles would eventually get out with how much the ball moves
Yooo that’s sick
I wanted to hear what it sounded like at least..
Bounce? Forget that, that's fairly simple to replicate with enough science. IT HAS HOLES RUNNING ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT, HOLES WHICH WILL HAVE AIR RUNING THROUGH IT. How is this even being considered.
Ahh, a woman came up with this.
She's probably trying to save animals.
"He couldn't stop playing with it!" Yeah because it's crazy and novel. People can't stop playing with the Internet or their phones for 14 hours out of the day; just because something is "new" doesn't make it "better" or "good." I know that's the philosophy of society these days ("Tear it all down, we'll replace the old with better stuff! Old is bad, do things new ways for no good reason cuz we hate the past!") but it's pointless.
"sUsTaInAbLe" Haha, I knew it. Here it comes.
"It doesn't need different sources of material and effort!" Yeah let's make sure only one company in the friggin' world can afford the multi-million dollar machine that can print these things; we don't have enough goods and services these days coming from a tiny selection of mega-rich corporations that have no competition! Good idea!
Putting your finger in it and you can make a new dribble/pass move set
Nobody in the nba is gonna have small enough fingers for that lol
@@indoormoose1255 true lol im just saying for like streetballers or the average Joe who are shorter than NBA players except Isiah Thomas
Nice vid🎉
This dude just repeated himself for 9 minutes
great vid
It is lame on pro games but really nice for practice.
My only concern with it are the holes. Wouldn’t the aerodynamics be all screwed up if you shoot it from long distance?
This video could have been 10 seconds we just wanna see if it bounces bruh. You talking too much 🙄
if you like this tyler will make a podcast
What it I told you I already had one… it’s called Sportonomics
@@tylerwebbshorts whats it on
😺
I'd forgive trying to turn an obnoxious short into a 9min video if this wasn't a waste of air. The 5 sec you actually spent marketing what you thought basically boils down to, "It's a basketball!". You didn't even attempt addressing the obvious concerns with it.
Wilson even said this isn't the final design and SLS printing will never be practical for producing something like this at scale. It's just a prototype. The most successful influencer mouthpieces at least pretend to be objective. This was just lazy man.
😈 *PromoSM*
This thing is utter bullshit. The bounce is not the same. The flying curve indoors is not the same. This video is clearly sponsored
The only good thing is that this ball performs well outdoors, because it isnt so prone to wind conditions as regular balls. BUT outdoors the ball is bad because on what surface one plays outdoors. If you have some gravel on the ground, this ball will become unplayable in seconds because the gravel/split will stuck into the holes.. Also, how well can this material handle rough surfaces in general?
I think this will be a catastrophe for Wilson if they really invested this much into 3d printing machinery..
It's a shame Wilson put so much money into this ball and did not do any research on its aerodynamics and bounce... You should call them and let them know the flight of the ball won't be the same!
Clickbait
It recyclable tho 🧐
Nvm
I believe in third world countries this could be a big deal, but for now I can't see the NBA adopting this anytime soon.
I like the idea but it’s so… ugly
💀💀 L video
Wilson basketballs are trash! The NBA is trash, too!
You talk too much
if it has holes doesnt it create more wind resistance?
don't worry about it
So cool.
Tyler: "before i get to the ball, i gotta go back."
Me: dislike for wasting time
The only innovation that doesn't ruin the game is in shoes. Modern shoes are clearly better than what they used to use, however, no one takes that into consideration When comparing eras. You can't change the ball. It throws everything off. Sorry guys. You wasted your time.
