However, if you want a ball that feels great(the zio composite really does feel much different then a regular indoor/outdoor composite), and dribbles more "accurately"(theres no guesswork to where the ball will bounce when dribbling, you dont have to watch it while you dribble like other balls that will sometimes go a few mm to the left or right for no reason, which we all know sometimes causes turnovers), then this is the ball for you. If you play outdoors everyday, for long periods, you'll probably want to go with the cheaper $15-20 composites, as you will wear any composite out much faster outdoors. This ball is more suited for indoor play, with occasional outdoor blacktop usage. In closing, this ball feels great in the hand(really does have deeper channels and better composite material), and is a...

Not so much., By Hoob (California) - See all my reviews This review is from: Spalding 64-497 Official NBA Zi/O Excel Basketball (Official Size) (Sports) I've been looking for a basketball for a little while now. I wanted one with a good grip and a nice feel to it. I'd come down to choosing the Zi/O Excel or the TF1000. I ended up going with the Zi/O because it was billed an indoor/outdoor ball, while the TF1000 was just for indoors. I ordered the ball and got it quickly from Amazon. Right from the start, I loved the ball's feel. The number of pebbles on each panel really help with grip and the deeper chanes between panels really help you with handling and control. I used it on an indoor gym first and it was great. It felt natural and running with it was fun. I thought I'd had a winner on my hands. The next week I brought it to the park and played outside in a street court. Again it felt great. Playing on the street court gave the ball a different feel, not altogether unpleasant. I was happy again, but a few minutes after getting home I discovered that the panels had started to come loose and were...

I was really hoping that they'd improve on the zi/o when they replaced it with the Excel model but we've been dissappointed. Its been sitting in the corner of our room half inflated since it won't hold air anymore, and a couple of the panels are already peeling. Now don't get me wrong this is the condition of some of our basketballs after about half a year's worth of outdoor play that we usually do (3-5 days of long outdoor play a week), but we didn't play nearly as much the past quarter and its already worse than any current basketball we've been using. If you're using this for heavy outdoor use look for something else, and if you're doing indoor always go with TF1000. |
