Good starter ball, but has it's quirks.

Good starter ball, but has it's quirks.
I write this from the point of view of a former high school player and regular at my local 24 hour fitness. I've had the ball for about seven months and have played hundreds of pickup games and shoot-arounds with this ball. I grew up using the more expensive and superior Evolution and several other NFHS basketballs.First thing out of the box you'll notice is that the ball isn't anywhere near as orange as the pictures make them out to be. It's a orange with a dark pink hue. If you held the Evolution/Solution/TF1000 next to it you'd see the major difference. The ball has decent grip (great for the price range) and is passable for a game ball. If you're not playing much hoops and/or aren't going to take it very seriously, this ball is best for 95% of players out there. The ball is nowhere near as soft of spongy as the Evolution, which is a potential plus in competitive games where a form shooter will outplay someone who relies on touch to shoot. It feels more like a regular leather ball than a composite in the shooting motion.Things I don't necessarily enjoy about the ball:1) It had an odd bounce, especially the first few months of using it. I had a really hard time handling the ball in games until I got it down. While I may not be a slasher, I mastered the moves I practiced for years (single step crossover, through and behind dribble-to-drive, etc) but this ball wasn't going exactly where I was bouncing it, resulting in sloppy handling. Switch to an Evolution and I look like a competent ball handler.2) It may not hold up to as much game time as I put into it. Looking at the pictures you can see the wear and tear already. That's of only hooping twice a week for 2 hours at a time.3) This may be a personal nitpick but the grip of the bar-code location is slick as butter during a game. What were they thinking?All in all, it's a decent ball. I probably wont buy another ball for a while until this really shows its wear. I'll be switching back to the Evolution or Solution when I do.
