### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Love this ball
  

*by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2018*

Love this ball.  It will wear out eventually if used outdoors.  I can't say enough how this I/O ball feels like the game balls used indoors.  I bought two, my son keeps one for practice outdoors in the driveway, the other to take to school to use in the gym.

*by X***3 on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018*

While it felt great out of the box and for a few weeks after, it wore fast with indoor use and just a small amount of bouncing outdoors (not full game play). We expected more from such a highly rated ball. It's too hard and smooth now. Personally, I feel their are better options at the local brick and mortar stores. It holds air fine and the size is good. It's just too smooth for indoor, and wears too easily for outdoor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Just like I remembered it.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019*

This is one of the best balls kids would bring to high school. I started playing again and decided to get what was like a luxury back then. It's still great. Color, weight, softness, and quality all great. I use it outdoor so it gets dusty and is quickly not sticky anymore but it's still not bad. It's got good padding. I don't play a lot but durability after maybe 6 hours of play seems fine. I also keep it in the garage away from sun and rain. I don't know how it will hold up if used daily for 2 or 3 hours but nothing will be durable under those conditions except a rubber ball
