Review on πŸ€ The Perfect Choice for Indoor Game Basketball: Baden Elite by Steve Waldbillig

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Durability and quality issues :(

I've been playing basketball 2-4 times a week for 20 years. I also play in a few recreational leagues a year. be Evolution I bought the Evolution in May 2016 and I've had it so far , but eventually it's so worn that I want a new inner ball Another option This Baden Elite was on sale and got good reviews so I tried it (dribbled) - soft feel - good grip - good ball throws - holds the Doesn't air more than 1 day after playing the full course for only 3 months and less than 10 days - can get slippery when wet but my ball is fairly new. And the other new Evolutions got slippery too. - Compared to the Evolution, it comes off the glass a little harder and requires a softer shot (just my preliminary reference) - ConclusionFirst I was very happy with this purchase and the perceived quality of the product. It seemed on par with the Evolution depending on rim and floor jump preference. However, the quality and durability of the ball kills him. I'm just outside the return window. Guaranteed for 90 days, on day 94 it started deflating :(. Now I have an expensive, beautiful, but fast deflating ball :(Note: I only use this ball indoors, and since we usually play with another ball, I'm a main user who just shot solo so I only have 5-10 days of full gameplay with him even though I shoot him a lot.
