One solo and one team training session with it so far and yeah...ball is legit. It is slightly heavier then my previous Brine ball, and I actually enjoy the slightly heavier feel. It jumps off my foot when shooting a little bit better then my older ball.
A top tier ball for me always has a firmness yet still soft. I know that sounds stupid but some top end balls that I have played with you can ping them 30 yards nicely, and bring down a cross field switch with out it jumping off your foot from being too bouncy. This ball has that similar feeling but obviously not top tier. The best ball I have played with personally are the top tier Select balls. Those were pretty perfect to me. I liked the Nike flight balls too but I really only got to play a few games with them and not really practice and get a real feel. But this is a $40 ball...and shipping was free. My next budget ish ball might be a Select numero 10 but i think retail they are $60 but can be found on sale around $40ish. Might have a better review when i have more to compare to at that tier level.
