Overall, good ball for the price. Looks and feels great straight from the box. Nice tacky surface that is great for grip. Does what you would expect from a new basket ball. This ball is marked for indoor/outdoor play. But the tacky surface feels artificial and won't last long outdoors. It will lose the grippiness after picking up too much dirt and dust and the it will feel worn out. Keep it clean, play indoors and the ball should last a while.
