@@lorenzo9895_ No because of the resistance and turbulence caused by the air being unable to smoothly flow through the holes. The holes and their shape represent a miniature shape that is not aerodynamically efficient, whereas air travels smoothly around a conventional spherical object.
@@lorenzo9895_ the simplest way to think of this without advanced mathematics would be to imagine, placing a bunch of straws that were taped together in front of a leaf blower and comparing the air coming from the leaf blower to the amount coming out of the straws when placed in front of the stream of air. in this example, the loss created by turbulence would probably be much less than I expect the ball would have, but it would be quite distinct, even without any sort of metering equipment

There are so many things that can go wrong with this ball. Sports balls that use a bladder to hold pressurized air have forces on the inside pushing outward that keep the optimum shape, and can be adjusted according to environmental conditions. I imagine this new ball would feel different to play in a cold indoor court and a hot summer mid-day outdoor court. It’s open, so it would gather debris and sweat over time and even during games. It’s got so many holes, it might feel similar to a normal ball for short periods of time, but more holes equals more surface area, which means more friction. I imagine that the duration of a full basketball game and the greater forces pros are capable of would mean that the friction could causes blistering or skin irritation. Even regular basketballs change shape a little bit over time, but I imagine these balls would deform to unplayable shapes, or even crush after a long period of time. If you look at sports like tennis or baseball that have versions with no inflated balls (wiffle ball and pickle ball) the aerodynamics affect the spin and motion of the ball greatly. I bet the same would happen here. It just doesn’t sound good.
Bounce test is fine. Storage is the problem. You need to remember - the air in a basketball exerts actual pressure outwards. You can pile some stuff on top of it and, up until a certain not-insignificant weight, it will not deform. Try that with this. Storage and transport of these, for me, would make it too inconvenient for regular use. If I can't chuck it in the trunk and forget about it it's a hassle.

Yea pretty ambitious to claim it will "happen sooner than you think"... Trying to solve something that isn't really a problem. Cool tech but I don't think this is the use case.
I suspect what's Wilson's strategy: They'll cover the holes in "Gen 2" in order to avoid the dirt accumulation inside and some problems related to air flows through the ball when it's shot.
Already exist, used only for industrial equipment and are crazy expensive. There are also foam-filled tires but again only for industrial use. There are also run-flat tires used on lots of high-end cars without spare tires. But they are only good to limp your car to the nearest tire shop.
This is perfect! All those holes will allow you to see through it and truly prove whether the player is carrying the ball or not. We will see exact finger placement!
How? I imagine the holes would act as pips like on a golf ball. Remember, basketballs should spin when you shoot them. I don’t see aerodynamics being a problem.
Some players put more spin on the ball others, the aerodynamics will be affected with a hollow ball no ifs ands or maybes, but like I said, they will put a thin layer of skin in the future so the air passing through won't be as pronounced. Golf balls aren't a great example because they aren't 'airless'. An extreme example would be trying to use these balls outdoors, these will wobble more than Ronaldo knuckleballing one of those $2 children balls. You don't need a PHD in Aerodynamics to know that even the slightest bit of wind will the ball behave wildly different to a traditional ball. Even if / when a ball is spinning in the air, the aerodynamics are still widly affected with there being holes all over the structure. I can bet any amount of money that players will notice a difference
If its full of holes it won't cut through the air the same having air go through the ball I guess would cause turbulence and it won't have a true flight right?

@@TravisTheSavage Tires that don’t have air in them aren’t permanent tires. Most tire sales are standard replacements, and that’d continue. The tread still wears down.

Curious about the ball's aerodynamics. It's weight, density, and the holes it has could affect the flight of the ball when shooting or passing. I wonde if it's feasible to play with it in all aspects
I suspect it's like the difference between a pickle ball and a tennis ball, if the pickle ball weighed the same. There's just way more drag being created by all those holes.
There’s likely no difference in drag since the inside of the ball should never have any measurable degree of wind flowing through it, due to its specific design. The ball as a whole would have as much resistance as any other ball of the same size. Iunno where y’all are pulling this from.
@@ZacharyVeredI think the main issue comes from the added surface area exposed to the outside. Because of the holes, molecules of dust, dirt, debris, etc. can probably accumulate over the course of a single game alone to the point that the highly trained players of the NBA might start to shoot worse further into the game due to the weight discrepancies. It will be interesting to see if that does actually prove to be an issue.
I want to see it be shot. On a windy day, the ball will probably be pushed around a lot more than a normal ball would. (edit) Ok. I did extensive research on this topic. First, If the ball is supposedly the same weight as the official NBA game ball, then the ball should actually be affected less by wind and fluid friction than an NBA ball because it has less surface area, allowing air to pass through the ball. Second, if the ball is made out of carbon fiber as claimed, then then ball could have the chance to deform if enough force is applied. To make sure this doesn't happen, the manufacturer should add a complex pyramid-shaped core to support the force. You can stop fighting in the replies now lol
The 3d printed ball has far more area for the air to pass through without resistance than a regular basketball does because of the holes in and since they weigh ab the same it would probably get pushed less by the wind.
Actually no a regular ball will be moved more in the wind, if they both are the same weight then the one with more surface area will be moved more by wind.

90% of nba player cant dribble. only the smalls can dribbles good.

It looked super awkward cus it doesn't bounce as well, so you have to slam it down to bring it up to where it would feel natural. Its trash
that drop test just showed us all we needed
This seems like the perfect guy to decide if this feels the same as a regular basketball.
“Just like a normal ball”
Clearly didn’t bounce the same as the regular one next to it 😂
the other ball was over inflated to prove that the 3d pinted one will always be the same bounciness
normal ball was overinflated, if you drop a normal ball it isn't supposed to bounce that high
@@unofficialyartifcial9108 no, it is clearly not bouncy enough.
@@hkhk5241 there is 5 million other comment saying it because it is overinflated so you are in the wrong here :(
he's definitely getting paid by that company to spread their propaganda 😆💯 that ball looks goofy as hell and don't even have bounce
Mark my words the NBA will not adopt this ball for at least 10-15 years
Just "will not adopt"
At least. I don’t see why.
Id be surprised if they ever adopt it
Yea pretty ambitious to claim it will "happen sooner than you think"... Trying to solve something that isn't really a problem.
Cool tech but I don't think this is the use case.
The NBA will never use this ball 🤦
I suspect what's Wilson's strategy: They'll cover the holes in "Gen 2" in order to avoid the dirt accumulation inside and some problems related to air flows through the ball when it's shot.
It probably has the same bounce coefficient but weighs less than a normal ball and so bounced less high with a drop test

Screw the ball, make some tires that don't need air!
They have those already but I think more for farming equipment atm I don’t know if you can buy the ones for cars yet.
They have always existed but they can’t sell you new ones if they don’t go flat.
Yes..they're called "Tweels"
that already exists, but theyre not capable of highway speeds
Already exist, used only for industrial equipment and are crazy expensive. There are also foam-filled tires but again only for industrial use. There are also run-flat tires used on lots of high-end cars without spare tires. But they are only good to limp your car to the nearest tire shop.
This is perfect! All those holes will allow you to see through it and truly prove whether the player is carrying the ball or not. We will see exact finger placement!
It doesn’t feel anything like a normal basketball and wouldn’t be ideal because it’s basically like a volleyball, the weight difference is crazy.
What a great breakthrough to solve a problem we never had with regular aired basketballs.

Well maybe that one time for the Patriots 😂😂

Aerodynamics have left the chat…
they will put skins over it in the future
How? I imagine the holes would act as pips like on a golf ball. Remember, basketballs should spin when you shoot them. I don’t see aerodynamics being a problem.
Some players put more spin on the ball others, the aerodynamics will be affected with a hollow ball no ifs ands or maybes, but like I said, they will put a thin layer of skin in the future so the air passing through won't be as pronounced.
Golf balls aren't a great example because they aren't 'airless'.
An extreme example would be trying to use these balls outdoors, these will wobble more than Ronaldo knuckleballing one of those $2 children balls. You don't need a PHD in Aerodynamics to know that even the slightest bit of wind will the ball behave wildly different to a traditional ball.
Even if / when a ball is spinning in the air, the aerodynamics are still widly affected with there being holes all over the structure. I can bet any amount of money that players will notice a difference
If its full of holes it won't cut through the air the same having air go through the ball I guess would cause turbulence and it won't have a true flight right?
@Ryan Wilson um...exactly? The pips on a golf ball help its aerodynamics. These holes will for sure affect how it flies.
the glorious "shit gets stuck in it" ball
The floor at Rapid TCT was carpet this is why the bounce was soo different. It bounces exactly the same on regular floor it's crazy.
Can we get Steph Curry to shoot 1000 times with both balls to settle the debate

Easy answer: The normal basket ball does not bounce like a normal basket ball.
@@zat1245
That's the EASY answer?
What's the easier answer, really? That the actual basketball shown just happens to not bounce like a normal basketball? Or that the non-basketball doesn't bounce like a normal basketball?

A ball that never requires air? They need to start manufacturing more balls and start selling them in store.
They do but not for indoor use it’s called a never flat
now we just need car tires that don't require air pressure. I know NASA is working on some but they're metal and would probably tear up the road.

We don’t really need plastic expensive to produce things to replace rubber cheaper to produce things, do we? Airing up isn’t that hard, is it? Right? Or is it
@@TravisTheSavage Tires that don’t have air in them aren’t permanent tires. Most tire sales are standard replacements, and that’d continue. The tread still wears down.
More likely they’re costly to produce and the people who want to spend big money on tires tend to want speed over durability. I’m guessing on that last bit. But there’s no conspiracy, there’s just not a reasonably-sized market sector that wants to buy them.
But if you want a reason to be contemptuous of tire companies, the wars started and continued by rubber crops in Liberia are harder to make sense of

$2,500 for a basketball is complete insanity!

No it wouldn't. Your tire would be deformed within minutes unless you exclusively drive on new tarmac.
Michelin had a prototype tyre like this for years not to sure on motorcycles though but the concept already out there.
They are 100% working on air-less bike tires, trust me. I bet we have a viable option in the next few years
Try that on Tennessee roads
Yeah I've seen them years ago for machines. And resently saw a small machine (think it was sweeper) with airless tires.
This man looked dead straight into the camera and lied to us while showing explicit proof that he’s lying. I swear, the internet these days.
For now, this ball would be perfect for in house dribbling and handling.
It bounces quieter too. Interesting future ahead
This will finally solve the “lack of air” bottleneck we’ve been dealing with
Lmao should be the top comment
Have a like.
I know it's a joke, but we are really lacking compressed air 😁
Compressed air is one of the most expensive and polluting ressource, because it need a lot of energy to be made and is very difficult to keep.
Compressed air is generally more expensive that petrol products.
Do you never look at the price of bottles of compressed air ?
@@pierrotA bro literally every gas station has one. Costs 2 bucks for an airpump at ur local warehouse.
@@jordanious7711 Wiki:
"In industry, compressed air is so widely used that it is often regarded as the fourth utility, after electricity, natural gas and water. However, compressed air is more expensive than the other three utilities when evaluated on a per unit energy delivered basis"
"In Europe, 10 percent of all industrial electricity consumption is to produce compressed air-amounting to 80 terrawatts hours consumption per year."
It's not because it's everywhere that it's cheap and clean...
Tryna gaslight me with that drop test, get outta here with that. 😂
Will the holes effect the aerodynamics?
Finally no more leak balls during matches.
Curious about the ball's aerodynamics. It's weight, density, and the holes it has could affect the flight of the ball when shooting or passing. I wonde if it's feasible to play with it in all aspects
I suspect it's like the difference between a pickle ball and a tennis ball, if the pickle ball weighed the same. There's just way more drag being created by all those holes.
Let the wind take it
i feel like the aerodynamics of a ball with holes was a heavy component they considered while making it 💀
There’s likely no difference in drag since the inside of the ball should never have any measurable degree of wind flowing through it, due to its specific design. The ball as a whole would have as much resistance as any other ball of the same size. Iunno where y’all are pulling this from.
@@ZacharyVeredI think the main issue comes from the added surface area exposed to the outside. Because of the holes, molecules of dust, dirt, debris, etc. can probably accumulate over the course of a single game alone to the point that the highly trained players of the NBA might start to shoot worse further into the game due to the weight discrepancies. It will be interesting to see if that does actually prove to be an issue.

@@allstarprintlab2675 🤣🤣🤣
I want to see it be shot. On a windy day, the ball will probably be pushed around a lot more than a normal ball would.
(edit)
Ok. I did extensive research on this topic. First, If the ball is supposedly the same weight as the official NBA game ball, then the ball should actually be affected less by wind and fluid friction than an NBA ball because it has less surface area, allowing air to pass through the ball. Second, if the ball is made out of carbon fiber as claimed, then then ball could have the chance to deform if enough force is applied. To make sure this doesn't happen, the manufacturer should add a complex pyramid-shaped core to support the force.
You can stop fighting in the replies now lol
i mean if its indoors wind doesnt matter
The 3d printed ball has far more area for the air to pass through without resistance than a regular basketball does because of the holes in and since they weigh ab the same it would probably get pushed less by the wind.
@@replate that is how wind resistance works
Actually no a regular ball will be moved more in the wind, if they both are the same weight then the one with more surface area will be moved more by wind.
How would wind work if it has holes? I really wanna kno that bc thats a great theory for the ball
“Sooner than you think” WOW bold prediction
