New Best Outdoor Basketball? | Spalding NBA Zi/O Basketball Review

[@Insight_XCI]

I'm telling ya man, the NBA Pro Grip is underrated af. My favorite All Court composite ball right now. Plus the red, white and blue version is just fly af💪😁

[@StreetballStrategies]

I tried finding it at the store the other day but they didn’t have it. I’ll keep looking for it though. 🧐

[@Insight_XCI]

@@StreetballStrategies if you have an Academy around they should carry it. I know you can get it online from Academy too though.

[@crazycayleb9754]

Can you please send a link of the ball online I can’t find it when I search it up

[@StreetballStrategies]

@@crazycayleb9754 This is the only place I can find it online. Seems like it might be discontinued. www.academy.com/shop/pdp/spalding-nba-pro-grip-indoor-outdoor-composite-basketball-110837645

Love that break down of the ball! Great video, tyvm sir!

[@StreetballStrategies]

Thank you!🙏🏼 You’re very kind.

[@kalcost4529]

Thanks so much for doing this video man also what do you think of the nba Spalding street ball I need to know if this one is better than that one

[@gsdubz9931]

This ball used to be THE ball for indoor-outdoor, the newer ones get slick and wear out so quickly.

[@StreetballStrategies]

I’ve noticed that. There is a version of this ball called the Zi/o Excel that feels pretty nice in store.

[@osovideos1]

My Zi/O ball is marked "Zi/O Composite Leather" on one side of the valve. The other side of the valve is marked "Inflate 7 to 9 lbs." Mine is a few years older than your video, so perhaps Spalding dropped the "Composite Leather" marking on more current versions. It's hard to tell from your video.

I just picked up a wilson Icon and it's for sure better than my current gamer and1 fantom streetball

[@StreetballStrategies]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@Crazygamer-sq1zt]

do you know what the difference between this and the excel version is?

[@StreetballStrategies]

To the best of my understanding, seeing as how I’ve never used the Excel before, the Excel is supposed to have deeper grip channels and thicker composite leather making it bounce better than the original.

[@chocoblanco84]

in your opinion which is better for outdoor. Wilson Authentic Indoor/Outdoor, Jordan Hyper Grip, Nike KD, wilson ncaa?

[@StreetballStrategies]

I haven’t experienced the Wilson Authentic or the Hyper Grip, but the KD seems like a very nice ball. I prefer the Wilson NCAA because it just feels so good in my hands.

[@Rgip2]

@@StreetballStrategies would you recommend that over the original based on that

[@StreetballStrategies]

@@Rgip2 Assuming all of that is true, then yes, I’d recommend it.

[@carlyellison8498]

Don't bounce it up and down over and over again and it won't wear out prematurely.

[@StreetballStrategies]

Why didn’t I think of that? 🤯

[@carlyellison8498]

I just ordered this ball and am excited to start playing at our local park. Was going to order the Marble but the color I wanted wasn't in stock. Thx for the vid!

[@StreetballStrategies]

@@carlyellison8498 You’re welcome. I think you’ll like the ball.

[@Bigboy-r4k]

This video should be a lot shorter..

[@StreetballStrategies]

Or maybe your attention span should be longer? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lekedukagjini161]

@@StreetballStrategies nah the video should be shortet its a lot of repeating

[@peppa7642]

He’s just taking his time to make an awesome video... he goes into detail and gives good information soooo

[@locsman]

[@StreetballStrategies]

I have a video comparing the two balls coming up soon.

[@NoMindTy]

Wait. Can you play?

[@StreetballStrategies]

I could, waaaaay back in the day. I’m an old man now.

[@kingarchnyc]

It does not say, then it is man made non leather then…

[@StreetballStrategies]

Whatever it is, it’s not great.

[@johnpatrickpongol994]

Where can i buy this zi/o?

[@StreetballStrategies]

I got mine from Amazon. But they can probably be found in most major sports good stores.
