Just got this Spalding ball and I'm pretty impressed! The grip is nice right out of the box, though I noticed it gets a bit slippery when dusty (outdoor courts, amirite?).

The bounce is on point after a few pumps - had to adjust it a bit to get that perfect waist-high rebound. Way better than my old rubber ball though!

Only gripe? The grooves could be deeper for better control. And yeah, it does collect dirt like a magnet. But for the price? 4.5/5 easy.

PS: Shoutout to their customer service - heard they replace defective balls no questions asked!
