Spalding TF-1000 is the best basketball ever... hands down. |
I play at an intermediate level and have been into the sport since 1999. To this point, I have played with many different balls made from many different materials. I must say, this is the best ball I have EVER used, hands down.
- This ball has the perfect amount of grip for maximum dribble control, but not too much so that you can easily receive strong passes or deliver teardrops/floaters
- This ball adapts to moisture and or sweat very well, but does not appear to 'absorb' it much (which is good)
- Has the feel of an NBA basketball, with a subtle and slight more 'ruggedness' so that it will handled rougher or unwaxed wood courts and clay. It will not get damaged as soon as it is bounced in asphalt or cement. |

Great Basketball and Low Price |
I think that the TF-1000 is the best basketball for indoor use, even better than the Wilson Evolution. Never use the TF-1000 in an outdoor court (concrete or asphalt) or your just wasting your money. The ball will get beat up in no time. This is the ball for an extremely competitive player. It's NFHS approved and is the Official High School used ball. The TF-1000 needs breaking in, in order for you to get the real feel to it. I usually purchase regular $20 Spalding grip control basketballs to use. Trust me, instead, buy the TF-1000. It has a nice grip, and always seems to go in the hoop. I play in many different leagues such as the USSSA and games at the Rec. Center and my TF-1000 or somebody else's seem to always get picked.
Speaking of money, don't waste your time buying a TF-1000 in stores. The best deal would be buying it off of Zepsportinggoods. Come on, $33 for a new Spalding TF-1000! That's a great deal! Also, the difference between the TF-1000 ZK and the ZK PRO is pretty much the price and the channel depth. The ZK PRO has a deeper channel. There is too much grip and takes longer to break in. I'd prefer you buy this instead. Cheaper and better! With Free Shipping, there's no better deal than this! Don't miss out!
The Good: Easily handles getting beat up
Best ball for indoor
Microfiber composite leather
Grip is perfect
Soft and polished
Good for using if you don't want to keep replacing basketballs
The Bad: Needs breaking in
Some people will try to steal it
Can only be used for indoors
(P.S. Put your name on this if you buy one and make sure you keep an eye out for thieves.) |

GREAT BALL |
|
In my opinion, this ball is great. I just got it and it will need a little breaking in but it feels really good right out of the box. This ball is better than the NEW ZK-PRO that they just came out with and it is cheaper now also since that one replaced this one. I think you should get this ball over the wilson evolution, that ball feels too soft after a while, this ball is better in the long run. But i must also say THIS BALL IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. if you use it outdoors you will eat it up very fast |

Great ball! |

Been playing competitive basketball for over 20 years and I found this basketball to be up to standard to what I have used when playing in basketball tournament play. I would recommend it for the price! I think however it does take a few times to break-in before you fully get the full benefits of the grip and feel. Great ball! |
