OT: What basketball(ball) do you guys like/recommend? 

Post#1 » by Speedlot » Wed Mar 19, 2014 9:10 am

I recently started to play indoor basketball more and was looking to buy something that's perfect to use for indoor.

What's a budget buy? What's a value buy? And what's the luxury buy?

They should make a hybrid ball that can be used for multiple sports.

Remember 4-square balls? That was pretty much it...

Actually, growing up where I did, it was basically the soccer ball we used for everything, except football... Everybody had a newish football.

We used to have those in grade school.
Soccer ball was the ideal ball for pretty much any sport. I remember I used to kick around my basketball until i realized they would create lumps on the ball which would screw it up.
