First off, the grip on this ball is insane. The Micro-Touch Composite Leather isn't just marketing fluff – it actually makes a difference when you're sweating buckets during a game. I've had other balls slip out of my hands, but this one stays put like it's glued to my palms.
The bounce is consistently reliable, whether I'm doing dribble drills or in the middle of a fast break. What surprised me most was how the grip seems to improve as you play – like the ball 'breaks in' to your hands. My mid-range jumper has never felt smoother.
Durability has been impressive too. After two months of indoor play (and a few accidental collisions with the bleachers), it still looks nearly new. The composite pebbled channels give it this perfect texture that helps with spin on my fadeaways.
Only downside? The price tag made me wince. But considering how it's held up and improved my game, I'd say it's worth every penny for serious players.
