Is this a good ball? Can you comment on this and also do a review?

[@RadBasketball]

I have put some details in the video description but this basketball is a really good ball for its price. It lasts very long on outdoor courts. It is more round than some other balls such as the Tarmak BT900X and Wilson Evolution as in it doesn't have deep grooves (it is also less soft/meaty on its outer layer than those balls). It feels a bit lighter than the high end Tarmak balls and it is a bit more bouncy but nowhere near as light or bouncy as the cheap plasticy feel balls. Please let me know what aspects you are interested in so that if I do a review I talk about those characteristics of the ball.

@@RadBasketball Thanks for the info. If you can make a review of showing and perhaps demonstrate off court how the experience is using the ball it will be nice to see. I’m thinking to get this perhaps but I’m still searching for other balls eg Wilson etc.

@@RadBasketball what about when inflated

[@RadBasketball]

​@@kingzj3577 it depends on how much it is inflated. Typically the weight would increase by 4 to 14 grams. So it won't be significantly more.
