🏀 Spalding Zi/O Excel: The Ultimate Indoor-Outdoor Basketball Experience Review

Reviews aren't for me but I thought it was 2018 so why not. This ball bounces. It can jump high or low depending on how much force you use to move it. I feel like Larry Bird shooting this thing. Wind in my hair I shoot nice backspin because of the great grip and feel (I can palm this thing and I have hobbit hands). Unfortunately, my recording is about as bad as this rating. That's a good ball. Good game. Perhaps hiding from the rain and not losing it will serve you well.

I recently started playing basketball again. Basically, I shot alone on asphalt. After 3 weeks of use this ball started peeling at the seam on EVERY panel. One of them was completely ripped off, exposing the fluffy material underneath. This ball is so cheaply made that the panels are made of very thin material that doesn't stick together well. To be honest, I bought the ball a few years ago. But in terms of use, it is exactly as stated above. The quality of the product is simply unacceptable…

I was happy to order this ball as it has great reviews but when it arrived it was not in the original packaging and more importantly it was smaller than a professional ball, at least 0.5 inches . Customs service. More of a pro ball for women. My guess is that they bought these balls due to a recall because they were too small and just shipped them. If you're expecting a professional-sized men's ball, this isn't it. I've played basketball my whole life and I immediately realized that it wasn't…

This is the best ball for working on my pen. It has good grip, is slightly lighter than other balls and bounces high. I can just twist my wrist around my waist and the ball will immediately bounce back up. The low weight and the higher rebound facilitate very fast dribbling. This ball is also good for dribbling. With less grippy balls like the Wilson Evolution, 5 times out of 10 the ball slips through your fingers when you let go, that's not a problem. The quality is pretty good, I've had it…

The ball is excellent despite not having the original packaging. The problem is that I got a different design than the one shown in the post and also the ball is not perfectly rounded. If you put it on the ground, the ball won't stop until it's on the same side every time. And if not by much, then the valve will not fit in the hole in the composite skin. EDIT: When I first contacted them, they just sent an automated "guarantee" message. The second time they behaved professionally. I'm…

FORM: As previously mentioned, the ball does not feel or look round. Where the black lines are, the composite leather material around them creates plenty of jagged dents, and some details are worse than others. This affects rebound and traction when you end up shooting and turf catching. DISCLAIMER: I just started playing basketball for the first time during the pandemic and before that my only experience was Spalding NBA Streetball. I pumped it up to its max 9psi and it still takes too much…
