5.0 out of 5 stars Game Balls Review.

NBA Game Ball Description:
Out of the package this ball is very slick and handles almost like a rubber ball due to the full grain leather material it is made out of but it still feels really nice leaving your hands when you shoot because of the perfect weight. At first it will be difficult to handle and play to your full skill level, however there is a reason it is the NBA game ball, after maybe 1-2 months of play (depending on how much you play) the leather will start to break in and the grip feels better and the ball isn't as hard so you'll be able to handle it MUCH better and that's when you start to realize why this is the official NBA game ball. So if you have the time, you play at least 3x a week, and have patience this ball is great after a few months of play but still pricey at 100$.
Spalding Top-Flight 1000pro Description:
One of the great things about composite material is that it requires no break-in period to be a good ball and the TF 1000 is made out of top of the line composite leather. Out of the packaging this ball will feel great to play with and you'll find a lot of people at the gyms will love it and it will be the game ball. The ball does break-in quite a bit more and you'll notice a change in color and it feels better to play with but it still is an amazing ball out of the package. It feels great leaving the hands and it actually is made with deeper channels which adds a bit more spin and control while dribbling. The grip is one of the best available although it does feel a bit sticky so you may or may not like that. I thought it was just fine but did hear some complaints. The ball feels a little hard but nothing like the unbroken-in NBA ball. Another complaint I've heard is that people think the ball isn't official size so I decided to measure it and it is 29.5" so it just feels smaller than the other options. (I believe it is due to the deep channels) This ball is the second most expensive at 60$ so if you have the money its well worth it.
Wilson Solution Description:
This ball is the Official NCAA Tournament ball and is made out of top line composite leather. The Solution basketball is the Wilson version of the TF-1000. The main differences between the two balls are that the Solution is a little bit of a softer feel than the TF and also the Solution doesn't have the deep channels. The grip on the Solution isn't as sticky as the TF but still has one of the best available grips on the market. It handles well and feels great when leaving the hands. I've gotten the size complaint that it feels smaller just like the TF but it still is 29.5". Other than the differences I've noted read the description of the TF and that is what you'll find the Solution to be like as well. This ball did wear out on me the fastest and I actually use it as my outdoor ball now since I have so many options for indoor and its held up very nicely outside surprisingly I still do NOT recommend using it outdoor ever if it is your primary indoor ball. The price is also the same at 60$ so if you have the money it's all personal preference between the TF and Solution.
Wilson Evolution Description:
This is my personal favorite ball to play with. It is made of the Composite Leather material but provides a much softer feel than the TF and Solution which is what I like a lot. It feels amazing leaving the hands and handles perfectly. The grip breaks in even more than when it first is used and only gets better. Right out of the package it actually provides a very similar feel to a broken-in NBA ball. I've heard very little complaints about it and is widely accepted as game ball when I bring it to the gym. It doesn't feel small like the TF and Solution and has a very different feeling grip which I think is much better when I have it in my hands. I think it also looks a lot nicer with the bright orange look and the color never fades. It hasn't started to wear out at all on me and I'm a 6x a week baller mainly using this ball for about 2 years now. I absolutely love this ball and highly recommend it for anybody looking for an indoor ball! It's a must have for ballers. Best part about it is the price at around 40$ it's an absolutely amazing deal. Even if all the top basketballs were the same price I would still choose this one over all it's competitors.
Nike Tournament Ball Description:
I've never owned the Nike Tournament Ball but I have played with it and intend on making it my next ball purchase. Through my experience it provides a feel very similar to the Evolution and is another of my favorites. The seams are designed differently. (The panels are designed like the NBA Game Ball that the NBA tried in the 06 season but recalled) At 50$ I believe this is another great deal but I haven't owned one or played enough with one to give a full review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to purchasing time the two factors are going to be money and most importantly personal preference! Each of the balls I reviewed are top quality balls that your going to like a lot but there will be one that you fall in love with just like I did with the Evolution.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going into a sports store and getting a feel for the balls before purchasing. The stores that have the most balls available are Sport Chalet and Sports Authority.
Hope this helped
