Spalding basketballs

[basketba11]

Is it just me or are the Spalding basketballs that all teams must use in NorCals just terrible? They are so slippery, they don't bounce well, and are harder than heck. Just curious what others think of them.

I have tried several brands over the years. I don't buy anything but the higher end Rawlings offerings anymore. Better grip, better lasting grip, hold shape better, hold air better. Overall, they seem to stay in good shape 2-3 times longer than other brands.

If you are going to have to use the Spalding basketballs in Nor Cals, why not use them all year long to adjust to the style,feel etc?

First, I don't think the ball has much to do with the outcomes of games at this or any other level ...

But that said, I always tried to have my teams practice and play with the balls that were going to be used in NCS playoffs.
