SpaldingNeverFlat Elite Indoor/Outdoor Basketball

Couldnt find it again. Great basketball, the pump is built in. So easy & efficient.

The basketball arrived over-inflated. Like, hard as a rock. There was a sticker on the ball, over the valve, that says not to remove the covering over the valve or it will "negate the product warranty" since it's supposed to stay inflated for an entire year. I've sent Spalding an email asking how I can remove some of the air without negating the warranty and will update my review once I've heard back. As of now, the ball could be used if absolutely needed (since it's the right size and shape), but it will not be a ball anyone would actually want to use. Hit the rim, and this ball will bounce a mile. Dribble it, and you might break your hand. Yes, those are exaggerations, but the ball is still way, way too hard.UPDATE: So I reached out to Spalding Customer Service, and after that exchange, I have changed my review from 2 stars to 5. Their customer service is some of the best I've ever experienced: fast, friendly, and solution-focused.

I read reviews on indoor/outdoor basketballs prior to purchase, and this one consistently rated towards the top, if not the top recommended. Purchased as a Christmas gift for my son, and it shipped and came.already inflated. Unexpected surprise that panned out, because as he was opening it, I realized I didn't own a needle to pump it up. Truly, this spalding is "never flat". Dad joke provided free of charge.

Ok I just bought a new never flat, but my first is around 15years old, it was exclusively used outdoors in Ohio and when not in use kept in a non heated barn. It’s still not flat! But it’s pretty smooth at this point.

Arrived deformed and made an odd hollow sound when bounced. Ended up returning it

It doesn’t go flat and has good grip on it. Perfect for my casual basketball needs.

The worst ball I’ve ever played in my life

I like the fact that it never needs to be inflated but after a few uses, it began to have bulges. The deformity isn't too bad where it affects the dribbling or handling but it is felt when shooting.

Wonderful ball, 5stars!

The ball arrived flat with a warning that it shouldn't be inflated first year of use, otherwise it's a loss of warrantee.

Arrived perfectly inflated and very quick delivery to Melb. The ball is great overall.

Great for outdoor use, my 10yr old destroyed 5 25buck ones in the last year. This has held up awesome for a lot of outdoor use! Very good quality that lasts. 👌

Overpriced and sounds like im bouncing a tin can, not a basketball. Wouldnt buy again
