I purchased this basketball a few months back at the BBL (British Basketball Association) playoff weekend. I bought this ball mainly as memorabilia for the day I spent at the event. It's an indoor basketball and therefore it's the highest quality possible. It's made of full synthetic leather and is licensed by FIBA.
Once I had taken the ball home I decided to actually go ahead and use the ball. But instead of using it only inside I decided to use it outside first. As of today I am still using this ball outside and have been for around 2 - 3 months now. The ball has lasted incredibly well. So well in fact that I don't think I will need to purchase another ball for about a year. I use this ball daily for about 3 hours at a time, sometimes longer depending on the weather. I play at high level, I have been invited to England team trials in the past and therefore I play basketball a great deal, most of my day is taken up with fitness and basketball. Because of this I require equipment that both performs and lasts at the same time without having too high of a price tag to avoid me digging too deep in to my wallet! This ball is one of the best investments I have ever made. Even though it says 'indoor basketball', it works and performs incredibly well outside as well. In fact I have only ever used it outside.
My opinion - A fantastic ball and well worth the relatively high price tag. You will never want to use another basketball in your life!
Oh just one minor detail though - it does have a tendency to run flat quite quickly and need pumping up quite regularly.
