I've purchased many basketballs over the years, but I love this one the best.  There seems to be a lot of discussions about whether the Evolution or this basketball is better.  I've even read that all the specifications between this basketball and the Evolution are the same.  But I feel this is the best basketball that I have used without considering the true leather balls in the 90s.  Now I am dating myself.  But the bounce and the fell and the gripe of this ball is great.  Of course, don't use it outside and take care of it.  Over time, it will get darker and show marks on it.  I have several balls and they all have the same great feel and gripe to them.  Just some of them are darker than others.  As long as you take care of this ball, it should last you several years, but I feel this is the best ball out there at the time.  I've tried the Spalding, Nike and the Evolution.  For some reason some people love the Evolution, but I like this one better.
