Customers are mixed about the quality of the recreation ball. Some mention it's very good, one of the best street balls out there, and has good outdoor play durability. Others say that the material in the seams is surprisingly slick, and the seam quality is on the poor side.

Great ball, but no match for concrete deer antlers.
Great ball, had it for 3 months. Then I was playing with it with my brother and it landed on the antlers of our concrete deer yard ornaments. When it landed on them we heard a psssshhh and our ball is no more. I'm sad now... 😞

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Budget Basketball !!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2022

This is the best basketball that has ever touched my hands, and for $20???? I’ve owned $70 basketballs and they don’t even compare to this one, the ball is grippy great for outdoor/rainy play, and SUPER durable.
This ball hasn’t even started to smooth down like other ($70) balls have.
I’ve had it for a couple months and it is as good as new. Besides maybe the green strips slightly tearing off but that’s fine. Still grippy and of course stylish.
You can palm the ball easily if you have big hands/grip power.
Edit: so I played with the ball a lot more and I have to say that it has smoothed down considerably, to the point where I bought a new ball. I would recommend it if you want something that’s great for money but it won’t last long in terms of if you play outside which this ball is advertised for. Rain and dirt will treat this thing real bad eventually and make it unusable when it’s wet out. But still a great ball, I don’t regret my purchase but won’t purchase again after seeing better more expensive balls.
I would recommend more expensive balls if you want something that’ll last a lot longer, maybe around $50 for a ball, (and Wilson)

This basketball was a gift and was reasonably priced. I have nothing to compare it to but can say that it looks like a good ball and acts like a basketball. Because it was a gift, I cannot speak to the durability. It made sense to me at the sale price and would buy it again as it seems to be getting alot of use.

I love this ball so much I’ve bought three total. I will say, though I give it 5 stars, the first ball always comes half-deflated with a hole in it and I have to return it. The second ball comes and is perfect. I’ve done this now with all three orders!! So you know the ball is worth it to go through all that effort. It has great grip and is a good overall outdoor ball for the price.

Venho usando ela a um tempo e apesar de ela perder um pouco das marcações ( o que acredito ser normal jogando outdoors) ela se mantem com um grip bom e não desinfla. Uma boa bola para se ter.
