I feel awful for the players that had to suffer the painful cuts from that ball. There was a 5-8% difference in the bouncing but they let it pass. Dumb decision, they should have never made the change to the ball
I had never realized why some balls were shittier than others despite looking nice when I was younger. I remember using a ball just like that when I was in middle school and shit was awful.
I bought a slightly used one on Kijiji. I’ve played with it on indoor courts only and I’ve found it the be a very comfortable ball to play with. The bounce is no different than with my other top end balls. The ball itself has a nice grip and is easy to handle.
My dad was the National sales manager for Spalding through the 2000’s, and I got to keep one of these balls. Played with it an entire summer and I had CONSTANT cuts on my middle and pointer fingers. This ball is total ass but a good collector piece
Once they were broken in they felt ok, but they were a lot more rough, almost a rubbery feel that didn’t smoothly slide through your fingers like a nice leather ball does when it’s broken in.
I was at a camp a few months ago and they had us use a ball like this one day and it felt like it was cutting my hands up every time I dribbled, shot, and passed.
70% of basketballs in my school's playground are even worst i finish playing with itchy fingers that have red blood spots on them but no actual blood leaking
When it came out a friend got it,. We in europe here and had not much basketball experience. Damn I remember that nobody liked it. Compared to our official game balls(pricy real leather versions) this thing was a joke. Felt like cheapo.
That was really awesome and that was really cool if you can I would like to see some more jumping videos or like jumping exercises to do and that was👍👍😱😱😳😳😎😎🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
1:33 when he spun the basket ball on his finger i legit winced. I mean along with his descriptions about it feeling like sand paper… THAT LOOK LIKE IT HURT
im a bit late I know, but a good budget option would be a Wilson forge, or really any scalding indoor/outdoor composite ball. buy one in a sporting goods store, and if it feels good to hold, get it
Man’s acting like he’s dribbling a ball made of broken glass. It’s really not that bad. Just jumping on the bandwagon since the viral video about the hated ball. If it was so bad that your hands need shaking off after 2 dribbles then it wouldn’t have been made for the NBA. The difference is at the NBA level players play at the top level and play with the ball vigorously which is which their hands developed cuts overtime from it , a factor that was ignored in its production- the professional use of it

This sounds like a bad basketball. Normally when I spin the ball on my finger it feels soft. Even a little squishy. But for some reason I imagine it being “rubbing sandpaper” on your finger. As you described it earlier as sandpaper.
Hey, don't know if you were asked privately or credited somewhere but wanted to let you know. There is a video by a channel named MJ2KALLDAY who talked about this ball and the new airless ball but in it he uses a couple seconds of you here playing with the cross traxxion ball and I didn't see any credits or mention of your channel and thought you should know
Weird, I have a spalding Basket Ball but it doesn't even hurt. It doesn't even cut me anyway. And I'm wondering if there are newer ones right now because I cant tell.
I remember when they changed to this ball... Damn that was 15 years ago already, 2006? They're going for $350 now online? I'll take it from you though...
In an alternate universe, this is still the official ball, and double-rim hoops are the norm. I will say, though... That interlocking two-panel design is snazzy. They should've at least kept that while going back to leather or w/e they normally use.
You’re not on the qualification startlist for the trails long jump !?! What happened to “I’m going to the olympics and gonna break the world record!!!!!” ?
You should have tested it in an indoor court. Spending that much coin on a ball and then completely ruining it on asphalt. Even if it is the worst ball.

Did they really work?

When I saw the ball’s side, I immediately knew what you were talking about.
to think the players were not listened too by the league owners but also tortured with this ball is fucked up.. mark cuban is a legend

YO ANOTHER GOOD VID
Can't believe cows were actually killed in the process of making a horrendous basketball like this
It was not made of leather tho. That was the problem
All leather basketballs are synthetic
“I know I can’t shoot but shooting with this ball is Terrible” I can agree
Even Spalding varsity ball is better?
which ball do you recommend for outdoor basketball, could a standard outdoor wilson be decent?
