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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Seriously, great basketball!

I've been using the Biden Elite for over 4 years now. I recently made my third purchase in all this time. The ball is durable and I've used it on a smooth open court but I usually take the time to break it in. I do this because the ball actually softens over time if you don't inflate it too much, which makes it harder. However, I would not recommend anyone to do this as this is a true indoor ball and if you use it outdoors too much it will become damaged and lose traction quickly. However, if you must use it outdoors, only do so on rare occasions. The ball is very sticky out of the pocket, when you roll the ball across the court you can hear how sticky it is. Also, I have relatively small hands for a man and I can easily squeeze the ball when my hand is dry. The ball is a perfect circle and the panels are evenly spaced giving it a different feel than most and perhaps why some people think it's smaller than normal, but it measures 29.5 inches. He has a good rebound. The Wilson feels heavier than this ball and the Evo Nxt feels lighter so it's somewhere in between in terms of weight. A soft ball compared to most indoor and outdoor balls. In my opinion its only rival would be the Wilson Evo and the Evo Nxt because they are comparable straight out of the box with little difference in feel and test other than bathing 100% more is sticky. , I mean how cheesy if you buy it brand new, but as you play with The Baden over time you'll start to notice the difference in feel it has over the Wilson. To be honest I don't know why some people, mainly younger players, only stick with the Wilson Evo. I say play both, how great they would both be, but I've played both, and let me tell you, hitting that ball is a dream. recommended, but please purchase from an authorized reseller or directly from Biden to ensure you get the full experience.
