Top Notch

This ball is second to none for the real hoops enthusiast. The touch and feel is unmatched by any other basketball. You will thoroughly enjoy this product!

Excellent equipment

Bought two of these for my sons who are avid basketball players. Only a minor adjustment to inflation upon receiving them. These are strictly for indoor wood court play. Pretty hard to go wrong with Wilson sporting equipment. I've always preferred them over Spalding.

Wilson Evolution

It's a nice basketball. It has a good feel and a soft bounce. It feels a little on the light side, and being made of microfiber doesn't quite have the texture of the real leather balls. The Wilson Evolution isn't the best ball out there, but it is a great value. I used this ball when I was on the basketball team in high school, and I really liked how the ball played. The TF-1000 is probably a better ball objectively, but I liked the Evolution so I stuck with that instead.

Best basketball ever!

I play indoor pick-up 3-4x/week since 1999. This ball is THE ball everyone wants to use. Is a shooters ball for real. The leather is soft & tacky. It's well balanced. Feels great leaving your fingers. Always easy to get true backspin, which then makes it hang around the rim if you're off a little that day. Shooters love this ball. If you buy one, make sure you put your name on it, dude...
