I've researched yrs ago and found out that the balls are made from 2 different factories. There's a 3 letter code on each ball. I believe the code that starts with an X is the harder/slippery one. The one that starts with a N is the softer version. Just what I learned 5yrs ago so things could have changed.
That adidas all court 3.0 runs a tad small and a tad lighter. it did not feel right comparative to a wilson evolution. i measured and weighed it to make sure i wasnt just pysching myself
I just ordered one for playing in my driveway, I'll keep that in mind, thanks. But either way it's gonna be better than an Evolution for outdoors. The Evolution will get torn up quickly outdoors.

I know what you mean, if you play with an indoor ball outside a couple of times, it no longer feels like a nice new indoor ball, but I play outdoors with an Evolution and I get at least 6-8 months out of it before I buy another one. That's probably close to 200 hours of hard use before the grip wears down.
If I still hooped indoors, I'd probably keep a separate Evolution for playing on wood.
This is a good ball but Baden Elite is a little better. Just to address everyone saying this is the best ball. It's close. But it's not.
I agree, the Wilson evolution is kinda the Toyota Camry of indoor balls. It's fine. No one is going to think negatively of you for owning one. It's not a piece of crap. All that said, $56 is a good deal
Have any of you guys that have been watching the price for years ever seen a size 6 ball go on sale?
BTW, I just checked and Dick's will price match. I have some Dick's gift cards so I think I may pick one up there.
This is a great idea and I just live chatted to get one from DSG - the rep actually was going to let me choose any of the colors - I went with the USA anyway. Should be ready for in store pick up tomorrow.
And if you have the free scorecard account with DSG, this purchase will have you over 1/6th of the way to a $10 store credit (you get $10 to spend in store for every $300 you spent)
What would be a good ball to play out on a concrete driveway? Would they hold up?
I like the spalding cross court from Dick's Sporting Goods. I think it's $35 but goes on sale from time to time for $24.99 maybe(?)
It's classified as an indoor/outdoor ball. It's gotta be sold elsewhere under a different name because I've only seen it advertised at Dick's - it's not even on spalding's website.
It doesn't feel like a super cheap ball which is nice, but generally I don't love spending quite that much on an outdoor ball.
My oldest wants to get into b-ball and she needed a size 6. She found an And1brand "street ball" from Walmart that actually seems pretty decent and that was only like $12.
It looks like a pre-teen ball with its colorway - but I'll probably pick one up for myself to try out when I wear out my spalding CC

Lost 3 in 2 years. Some players should have some dignity.
