Just got my hands on the Molten GF7X and wow, this ball is LEGIT. The premium composite leather feels buttery smooth right out of the box - way better than those cheap rubber balls I've been using at the park.

Love that it's official FIBA certified (size 29-29.5") with that sweet anti-counterfeiting card. Feels pro-level when you're dribbling, though heads up - comes completely deflated so grab a pump before your first game!

Only downside? Seems to lose air faster than I'd expect. Pumping weekly gets annoying when you just wanna play. Maybe I got a slightly defective one?

Overall though? Best basketball purchase this year. The grip in humid weather alone makes it worth every penny for serious players.
