Built for control, this ball has a deep channel design that gives you a solid grip for behind-the-back passes and high flying slam dunks. It has an indoor/outdoor performance composite cover that is equipped for hardwood, concrete, or asphalt surfaces which provides superior durability wherever you decide to ball. It ships inflated and game-ready out of the box, so you can start hooping in no time. Lay it up, and lay it down, with the Spalding grip control basketball.
