Did't Like

By Montgomery Dream from Montgomery, AL on 4/9/2009

Pros:

I like the look of it

Cons:

The way it feels

Best Uses:

Did not use

Describe Yourself:

Competitive Athlete

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Molten GL6 Official FIBA Olympic Leather Indoor 28.5 Intermediate Basketball:

The look of the ball is great. It looks just like the photo. The feel of the ball leaves a lot to be desired. It feels like plastic. I cannot even ask my players to try this ball.

Dazadi Response: As noted in the product description..."When you first get ball, it will feel stiff, even a little slippery. This is a leather ball and must be broken in just like a leather baseball glove or leather jacket." Once broken in there is no other type of ball that compares to a leather basketball.

The Best Basketball

By Koach K from Oakboro, NC on 9/18/2008

Pros:

Retains Air Well, Good Bounce, Handles Well

Best Uses:

Indoor

Describe Yourself:

Competitive Athlete

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Molten GL6 Official FIBA Olympic Leather Indoor 28.5 Intermediate Basketball:

The ball looks as good on TV as it does at home. It is just starting to break-in, and it keeps getting better. We've used Sp*******, Wi****, and Ni** balls in the past, and none of them compare in feel. The ball bounces where you feel it should. Because of its design, you don't have to shoot with the seams, you see a clean rotation of the ball. Absolutely the best ball I've ever plated with.

Nice BBall - Looks good and handles well. Since this was an Olympic Basketball, having the Beijing 2008 Logo would have been very nice. Too Bad they would not allow that to be added.
