Okay, so I wasn't expecting much from an Amazon Basics basketball, but holy rebound Batman - this thing is legit!
The grip is crazy good with those hexagon patterns. Played 3 hours outdoors and my hands never slipped once, even when sweating buckets. Feels like those expensive Spalding balls but at half the price.
Size 7 is perfect for regulation play. Came deflated (duh) but the included pump worked fine once I figured out the PSI thing (pro tip: go for 8-9).
Only weird thing? No Amazon logo anywhere. Kinda glad though - don't need Jeff Bezos' face staring at me while I airball free throws.
Played both indoor and outdoor - holds up great on concrete but really shines on hardwood. Bounce is consistent and the synthetic leather feels premium.
For real though, at this price point? Absolute steal. Already bought a second one as backup because knowing Amazon, this deal won't last forever.
