- Instead, what you should really be using is a microfiber basketball.
For what ?
Because the performance of synthetic materials is immediately touchable from your first shot, your first dribble, your first pass:
- Consistent grip and feel over time.
- True durability.
- Less dependent on the quality of the raw material.
- Much more versatile indoor/outdoor thanks to better resistance to wear and friction.
- very short break-in period of about 2 weeks.
