OT - Advice on a good outdoor ball 

Post#1 » by ponder276 » Tue Jan 29, 2008 6:06 am

My current outdoor ball is in desperate need of replacing (has about as much grip as a wet bar of soap). The thread on indoor balls seems to have some great advice - does anyone have similar tips on a good outdoor ball?

Yah don't buy leather... get rubber. The consistency will always be the same. Keep your ball at the same pressure as much as you can (weigh it).

The best ball for outdoors is the ball you feel the most comfortable with. It

Leather is for indoors. Rubber is the way to go.
