Since it is composite leather it does not take long to break in. I would give it a few uses. In comparison to the Wilson Evo, people say it feels a tad smaller but that is due to this ball having more seams than the Evos which provides a nice feel when shooting and better grip. I wouldn't say it's firmer but definitely less cushioned than the Evos but I haven't notice this having any effect other than feel when dribbling.
I think I have only had to pump the ball once or twice since I have had this ball and mind you it is used multiple times a week at least. There has been no weird lumps, no seams coming undone, or any issues with the actual ball itself after all the use. So for durability I would rate it A+.
I would recommend this ball. Seems to catch people's attention at the gym and you will not lose it among all the other balls being shot around.
One thing I will question is how long these balls have been deflated because I do have a crease as you can see from the pictures but i am sure it will go away over time. I will update my review in a few weeks. So far I am very very happy with the purchase! 🏀

Ball ships deflated. It’s not a problem.
