Great ball, nice material Jun 17, 2008 By Donovan Williams
I play mostly outdoors on concrete. This ball has good grip and nice bounce but not too bouncy like rubber so you'll get the soft roll. I've only used it about 10 hours collectively but it has retained it's initial quality so far. The logo's don't interfere much with your shot. I'd definitely get another one.

P.S. - Read the item description closely. When I bought this ball there was a picture of a Spalding Infusion basketball with the product description-but it's not.

Good Quality & Good Price Sep 12, 2010 By Danny
In fact, the picture of this ball contains a small mistake.
The word "INFUSION" is not printed on the ball at all,
and actually the 2nd picture which contains "NBA Zi/O" is the correct one.

Note that there are 4 levels for this type of Spaling basketballs:
1.) Professional Game Ball: The official game ball of NBA.
2.) Maximum Performance: Ultimate composite leather cover for the highly competitive player.
3.) Advanced Performance: Premium composite leather cover for the serious player.
4.) Performance: Durable outdoor cover for players of all levels.
and this item belongs to the "Maximum Performance".

I bought a ball which belongs to "Advanced Performance" level at the Dick's,
and it was the same price as this one, which is a better and higher quality ball.
Thus, I returned my ball to the Dick's and ordered this one.

In addition,
this ball is more suitable for indoor play.
If you use it as an outdoor basketball,
you will need a new one soon.

great ball Dec 21, 2007 By Matthew E. Pennisi
great indoor/outdoor ball
it really feels perfect in your hand while dribbling and the grip definitely helps when pulling up for a jump shot or quickly moving the ball with your hands. It's weight is dead on. Doesn't lose air quickly and has no marks after playing 10 hours or so in the street, then playing a few hours in the gym (not 1 day, the lifespan of the ball so far)

Not the ball in the picture Feb 23, 2011 By C. Arevalo
The basketball that amazon has pictured is a higher quality ball then the one you get. I ordered the ball thinking i got the Zi/o excel basketball. This basketball is the Zi/o basketball. The excel and this ball are definitely two different balls. This ball is a little harder and not as fine quality. Amazon needs to stop having things like this happen where it puts pictures of wrong merchandise on its website.

Wouldn't use on rough outdoor surfaces Feb 28, 2011
This is a good ball. It has good feel and all. BUT! I really don't think that this should be labled as an outdoor ball. Mainly because of the fact that the materials really don't last a WHOLE long time before they scratch up and break down. Not putting down this ball or anything, because it's great for indoors...I just wouldn't recommend it outdoors. Thanks for your time!
