    is an ideal choice for competitive players with a durable rubber skin

    What do you recommend for players who don't have skin made out of rubber, eg. humans?

    • +2

      Vote down? Obviously someone here has rubber skin and was offended. Sorry my rubber friend.

      • Someone from Space Jam maybe

    Nice balls

      Thwt's what she said

    • but its singular, just one. BALL not balls.

  • which size for a casual player?

    • +2

      Size 7, unless you want a kids ball being the smaller sizes.

    • +2

      WNBA uses a size 6.

    • +5

      Men size 7
      Women size 6
      Kids size 6 or 5

    • +3

      Men's is normally size 7 but official size for men's 3x3 is size 6 but at size 7 weight.

  • +5

    Not great - tends to lose air, inconsistent bounce and just a weird feel overall. I'd go Moltens or the WIlson NBL balls.

    • +1

      Doesn't feel great, I agree

    • +1

      Molten BG3200 is slippery and wouldnt recommend that one.

    • Which Moltens do you recommend?

      • +1

        Molten GM range is good. I have GM7 and it has a good feel like all the Molten models. They sometimes have specials on their online store.

      • +1

        FIBA one, i think that's the BG5000.
        the rest are garbage.

    • Tested one out in store and felt okay, it is a rubber ball though and I preferred the feel of the Wilson NBL replica which is composite leather. Also, the channeling was better on the Wilson. They were on sale for the same price.

  • Cheers OP!

    Its a good ball, cheers OP. Too many Michael Jordans hanging around Ozbargain these days…

    • As in MJ imposters?

      • +1

        MJ is know for sockpuppetting

        • ah, thanks! You learn something new everyday

  • How is this comparing to the NBA Grip Control from Kmart?

    https://www.kmart.com.au/product/spalding-nba-grip-control-b…

    • That looks more like a money ball from the all star weekend lol

    • I personally prefer the triple double but that's cause I've been using them since I was a kid.

      Make sure you get the correct size tho:
      Size 7 for Men (and boys 14 years old and over)
      Size 6 for Women (and boys under 14 years old)
      Size 5 for younger kids (like under 10's)

    Does this ball give you triple doubles?

    I get these for school PE. Great for the price, comparable balls likely to cost twice as much. Be sure to sign up as a rebel sport member, It'll give your local group 5% rebate ( pinnacle Cricket club if you don't like any of your local options 😛 )

    • Could you explain more on that rebate? Is it the rebel store membership that gives you a 5% discount?

      • +1

        Rebel sports have a community kickback. As a rebel member you are entitled to nominate an affiliated club/school that has signed up to be an affiliate. Those affiliates receive a 5% "kickback" on sales their members purchase. Not a discount, a rebate for affiliated clubs. Can make a big difference on small clubs like ours

    • Already a member but never heard of this before, how do I do it? is it on the site somewhere?

      • +1

        Next time you're in see them in person and see what they can do.

  • +5

    NBA branded Spalding ball will be discontinued soon as Wilson took over the sponsorship for NBA from 2022 season.

  • -2

    This product is disdainfully named the finger smasher by me and my mates , would not recommend. Get a wilson instead

  • Great all rounder indoor outdoor
    Has been that price for quite a while and imagine it will be for a long time I guess

  • +1

    Crap quality ball,
    Couple months into it and it developed a lump and wouldnt bounce straight.

    • Sounds faulty did you take it back or check out warranty

      • Honestly didnt use it after a couple months and only when i went to use it later on is when i found out it had a lump…
        So i didnt end up trying to return it because of lockdowns. So im not sure if its been too long now and havnt researched it yet.

        • Yeah no worries, it's probably worth the effort if you are going past a rebel sometime, should get more life out of it than that.cheers

      Strictly rubber balls for concrete

  • ball is okay..does have a weird bounce and pleather feel lol but once played a phew times and worn in the grip and bounce does feel better not bad for $35 but for $60 i recommend the SPALDING TF GRIND great rubber padded feeling and nice bounce and shoots great

  • Anyone have an opinion on what to get for some young boys under 10 for outdoor use?

    All size 5

    Wilson Jet Pro Basketball $29 at rebel or something like a Molten GR7X for $35.

    100% outdoor use.

    • +1

      This ball will do.

      8-9yo should be playing with a size 6 ball (my son's under 10 league plays with a size 6)

      • Ended up getting the Wilson Jet Pro from Rebel. Mostly because of the synthetic leather and positive reviews.

        Boys are 5 and 7 so a size 5 might suit them better.

        • +1

          5 & 7, yes, size 5 is the correct size.

          • +1

            @JimB: Thanks for your help JimB.

            Picked it up today, very happy with it.

  • Make sure you ask the staff to inflate it in the store and test it.

    I ordered 2 size 7s. Both didn't bounce upright from new. I got a refund for them and bought a higher quality ball.

    I did pick up another one in a size 6 for my son to play outdoor.. It was ok. He lost it though, so I picked up another one for him (but wrote his name on the ball this time).

    They go on sale regularly, not worth $70 but very good at $35.

    • +1

      Agree, for $35 it's great. Actually best to take advantage of cashback (Rebel often have 15-25% off shopback) so I paid $30.

      Got a floor pump at home so just used that and seems fine (8-10 psi). A lot of low quality generic/rubber balls aren't much less.

  • This ball is also good for the price- https://au.wilson.com/products/nbl-replica-basketball?varian…

    Got it for like $15 on the sale (thanks OzBargain).. I'd say it's on par or better than the Spalding NBA Triple Double Basketball.

    Purchased about 5 basketballs in the past year ranging from $15 to $110.

    -Durable rubber skin for long-lasting play

    Wait.. what am I buying again?

  • Just bought these instead 4 or more extra 20% off.

    https://au.wilson.com/products/reaction-pro-premium?variant=…

    • Good price.. free postage? Sold out..
      I think the triple double is good enough here for a go down at the outdoor court once a week.

      ps. go boomers… 3 in a row.. boom!

        Oops sorry I got 4 size 6s, my kid is killing his moltens on the driveway in lockdown and it was free postage. GO BOOMERS!
