Spalding TF-1000 ZK Pro Basketball

I purchased this ball for my 15/16 year old boys, both on the high school basketball team...they love it! I've also played with it during pick-up games, and it handles great! It has a great feel straight out of the box - although it seems like it will take several weeks to break in completely. It has good bounce, spins well, and again a nice feel. Best ball we've owned (better than the Wilson Evolution).Seller was a good seller, and delivered as promised. I went with the snail mail shipping option, and it took a while to get to me, but that is okay and as expected.

This is the model most owned by the players in my two weekly basketball games, and is the model almost always selected for use in those games. Individual balls do vary somewhat in their "feel" and handling, but this model has always been generally acceptable by the players as a group. Put another way, while individual players will have clear preferences for which individual balls they prefer, all of the TF-1000 balls I have encountered would be in my judgment in the "acceptable" range for use in a multiplayer game. I am very happy with my ball and with the price I paid for it.

I bought this ball for my 14 year old son for Christmas. He loves it. He told me what to buy. It was going to be this or the NBA leather ball. This ball needs no breaking in and was a great price. He loves playing with it. It took only a few minutes to get used to the new feel. We only use it and store it indoors so that it will last.

I rate this product before you buy it because I on page di in the call option of a ball of 7 (29.5 ¨) and sent a ball of measure 6 (28.5 ¨) then that means I am dissatisfied with the value was paid and what enviaroan someone could help me to say what steps to let me order the return of this and that on page quieroy give the option to send me a product that was never asked

I purchased ZK-Pro 28.5 size for my kid. After bouncing it and getting to feel of the ball, the deep channels were awkward. So, I returned it to Amazon. Maybe if I kept it, I might have gotten used to the deep channel.I'm glad I returned and I got the regular TF-1000. Actually, I prefer Wilson Evolution. It has a much better feel. The leather is bit more 'cushiony'. Some may not like this cushiony feel, but I prefer it over TF's tacky feel. I have both TF-1000 and Evolution.Only reason I got the TF-1000 is because it is used in my kid's games almost always. If they didn't participate in games that use TF-1000, I would go for Wilson Evolution.

Bought the ball based on price...as most of us do. Price was great...$10-15 below local stores. Shipping was fast as usual & free.Unfortunately, this ball had a MUCH firmer feel than the exact same ball I bought in a local store a few months ago. MUCH harder feel than basketballs I felt yesterday in the store, as well. Yes, they are all the same model, so I am comparing apples-to-apples here. The ball is still of good quality and not damaged in any way. It is just a warm-up / shoot around ball now. Everyone I hoop with is used to the usual soft feel of the TF-1000 ball. Between us we have 4 other TF-1000's and they are all comparable in feel - this one is just...off.From now on, with items like this, where feel is so important. I will pay the extra $10-15 at the local store so that I know exactly what I am getting.Oh well...

I have been play a lot of basketball games with spalding brand balls now days. we meanly use Spalding TF-1000 but there so many different type of balls under the Spalding TF-1000, such as the Spalding TF-1000 ZK Pro, Spalding TF-1000 Legacy, Spalding TF-1000 ZK Microfiber Composite, Spalding TF-1000 HzO, Spalding TF-1000 Composite Competition, those the balls I would prefer to use during a game, but when comes to grip of the ball you can tell the big differences, we normal would use the Spalding TF-1000 Composite Competition, and the Spalding TF-1000 Legacy ball, both are good and for the price is much cheaper then the others. the quality aren't bad either. I choose the Spalding TF-1000 ZK Pro is meanly of the feel and the grip to it feels much comfortable when playing it around at the gym.

Exactly what we wre looking for. Came quickly and packaged very well. This is a great indoor ball for young players. This one was for my daughter and we have the same ball for her twin brother. Both love the ball.
