Adidas Pro 3.0 Official Mens Game Ball

Best game ball on the market. Blows away the wilson. Great feel, bounce, grip, the channels are deep. Adidas has figures it out!

I thought the Wilson Evolution was a great game ball... then I got one of these for my son. It was a great deal, so I took a gamble. Got it. Felt it. Used it. Then I bought another for myself. Best ball I've ever used and I've been around basketball for about 30 years. Yes, it arrives with little fanfare and you have to inflate it. After a couple uses, the wrinkles are gone - and once you inflate it properly, you don't notice them anyway. It's also a much better ball than ones that cost two or three times as much. Deep channels, phenomenal grip, great overall feel. My favorite indoor ball by far.

Horrible. The ball came half deflated so now after being pumped up it has large wrinkles that can’t be smoothed. Expected a fully inflated ball like any other time a ball has been purchased. Very dissatisfied

Seems like a decent ball but Amazon’s sticker won’t come off all the way so that’s really annoying and leaves a slick spot on the ball. I tried goo gone, against my better judgement, and that did not work either. Also, the people complaining about the creases, those come out after using it. Update: I increased my rating to 5 stars. The ball is great. Amazon’s sticker residue is still there but that’s not the balls fault. Over used this now for 2 weeks and it’s great minus that one sticker spot.

It might be just a little to small but I’m not sure yet other balls looked a little bigger

Ball is great. Amazing sticky grip. Good feel and bounce. Feels slightly smaller than an evolution. The problem is that similar to other reviews, the product comes deflated. During delivery it gets folded. Once inflated it leaves fold mark. Still going to keep the ball, as this is cometic and doesn’t affect the play. Just thought everyone should know. Tip: inflate the ball to 8.0. Lbs, Leave overnight. Then inflate to 9, leave overnight. It helps to stretch the outer shell to smooth out the fold marks. Then deflate back to 8.0 before use.

Lets keep in mind that D1 colleges use this ball for their national games. If they were so bad as other reviews say they are then these balls would not be used on the colligate level; in national games at that! I love this ball. I bought it 3 times, my players love them. I will buy another one and recommend that you do as well.. It does come deflated with wrinkles but once you inflate the ball the wrinkles will go away within a day.

I bought this ball for the second time. And to be honest, I'll buy a third one.
