Won't Stay Inflated
This ball does not stay inflated. It came flat and we need to inflate it before every single use, and sometimes even in the middle of playing.

No grip
The largest size ball is really slippery. Sometimes you can forgive slippery balls, but handling this ball when you're about to score is frustrating when it slips out of your hand. It bounces fine and seems durable for outdoor play, but generally will be inconsistent to get it up if the balls are slippery.

Came Already Flat
Did drive-up pick up. Came flat, supposed to be ready-to-use. Bought it as a Christmas Gift. Gotta find/buy a pump before I can wrap it.

Disappointing quality
This ball already has the leather outer pulling off. It started within about 4-5 months of purchasing and hadn’t been used more than once or twice a week.

Ball is too heavy, to small, and it’s ugly brown, black, and gold, seriously. My beat up Wilson is better in every way besides the grips although when it was new it had better grips.

Not good
This came with NO packaging. It was just a loose ball which was really odd. It felt full but once I used it it was pretty flat and had no bounce. Had to slam it down pretty hard to get it to bounce back. Almost as if it had been sitting for quite some time. Not happy about it but oh well.

Great Ball
Its durable and easy to grip. We use it to play outdoor, I don't know how long it will last. Overall, we have enjoyed the ball.

Good for indoor only
My 8 year old used the 27 inch ball for a season of rec basketball and it was great. Within a week of outdoor use on our new hoop, it developed a tear and is flat by the morning. I don’t seem to be the only one who had this issue so I’m surprised the manufacturer isn’t recalling or replacing these.
