Don't buy that. It's meant to be worn in which takes a long time. Seriously, and you will hate it until it's broken in. You will hate it again after it's broken out, as it wears out quickly compared to the composite balls like the Evolution(worlds most popular indoor ball) and this Baden Elite. The grip of the Elite is second to none. I will admit I never used a properly worn in NBA ball, or at least I don't think I did. Both times I used one in a game environment, they were very slippery with or without chalk. I must say, the Baden Elite is a better ball in EVERY single way. The ball bounces better, and has a better reaction and predictability when it's bouncing off the glass, or the rim. Also, the feel is way softer, and more comfortable. This is hugely noticeable, and recommended to people with smaller hands. The channels are very deep. They feel deeper than the Evo, but that might be because the ball feels softer. It's hard to compare the feel when this Baden ball plays like a high end ball, and the Evo is a 3rd rate knock off. The Baden is symmetrical.You don't think it matters, until you play with balls that aren't. For me, it gives me more confidence because I have predictability of the ball and its surface. This is something you need to experience to understand. Also, the needle hole is nearly invisible to the eye and touch. I like how they don't have the large nipple around the hole on this ball. Again, this goes to feel and predictability. You don't want to feel off when you're pulling up just because your hand landed on a not-prime location. NEXT.... Durability. Evo has gotten harder, where I can notice it after some play time. The Baden Elite has not. And I've now put way more time in the Baden Elite, hundreds of hours. Still nearly a identical feel to the new feel. I would like to say how the surface durability is of the materials, but I cannot. My ball is getting a little damaged and chipped in the channels. But that is because of the terrible shots people take messing around with my beloved ball. Hitting the top right and left corners repeatedly. I can't be objective here so I will skip this point. 5 Stars - The best basketball I've ever used. From all the real leather balls, from the NBA, NCAA, Nike ball, TF-series and every other notable balls. This one is the best ball to play with. I am tired of people bringing Evo's into pick-up basketball because those balls honestly are trash once to go to this ball. It's hard to go back. You notice where the competition skimps in construction. Baden actually listened to players making a ball while Spalding and other companies do whatever they want. This is the best indoor basketball from the $1-150 range. Review: Seriously a Great Basketball Ball! - I have been using the Biden Elite for over 4 years now. I am recently on my 3rd purchase in all that time. Ball is durable I have used it on an outdoor smooth court but it really won't fair well with constant outdoor play. I only will play with it outside 1-3 times to speed up the break-in process. I do this because the ball actually will get softer over time if you don't over-inflate it which will make it seem harder. So let me be clear I would not recommend anyone else playing on outdoor court, it is a true indoor ball, and using it outdoor too much will damage it and quickly lose it's grip,air, and tack but if you must use it outdoor only do it on rare occasions. The ball is super tacky out the bag when you roll the ball on the court you can hear how sticky it is. Also I have relatively small hands for a guy and I can easily palm the ball when my hands are dry. The ball is a perfect circle and the panels are evenly spaced which may give it a different feel than most are use to and that's maybe why some people feel it is smaller than normal but it measures at a true 29.5". Oh yeah,It has a good bounce. The Wilson feels heavier than this ball and the Evo Nxt feels lighter or slightly the same so its somewhere in between when it comes to weight. It is a relatively soft ball compared to most indoor and outdoor balls. It's only rival would be The Wilson Evo and The Evo Nxt in my opinion because right out the box they are comparable with only a small difference in feel and testure except the Baden is more tacky, i mean like sticky if you buy it brand new. After playing with The Baden over time you will start seeing the difference between it and The Wilson. I honestly dont know why some people mostly younger players are stuck with only the Wilson Evo. I say play with them both as they both are great but I have played with both and let me tell you shooting this ball is a dream I def. recommend this ball. ## Features - The Elite Basketball is perfect for college, high school, and club men's and women's basketball game play - The advanced microfiber cover has the perfect balance of tack and softness for maximum playability.

I play once a week with the same group of guys for the last close to 20 years. We started with the original TF-1000 until the ball was stolen after one of our games. Evolution became our game ball for the next several years until the Baden Elite was introduced. At first, nobody knew about this ball so it took a a few games of playing with it where the majority decided that this was the closest feel to the original TF-1000 that everybody grew up playing with. It has a good soft feel to the ball with good grip. The weight and bounce just feel right. It feels like it has a slightly lighter touch to the Evolution with that consistent TF-1000 grip feel off the fingertips. If you played organized indoor ball in the 90s, you're going to like this ball. I still have the older Baden Elite without the gold outline. This is still the ball of choice versus the new version. Not sure if the manufacturing has changed between the two versions or if the ball broke in differently, but it does have a slightly different feel between the two. Recently though, one of my buddies just bought a new one and surprisingly that one feels the same as the original. Every ball could be slightly different, but at the end of the day, for indoor ball this is the ball of choice for us old timers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Baden Elite Indoor Game Composite Basketball - Official Size 6 & 7 Premium Quality Composite Microfiber Cover for Superior Ball Control - Ideal for Indoor Games - Baden Contender Indoor/Outdoor Composite Basketball - WILSON Evolution Indoor Game Basketballs - Size 5, Size 6 and Size 7 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3723479-baden-elite-composite-indoor-game-basketball](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/3723479-baden-elite-composite-indoor-game-basketball) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-03*
