They actually just changed the nba ball. Up till now it's been genuine leather, but they're going composite for a better grip and bouncing consistency. It's actually kinda funny lookin. Here's the site if ya wanna take a look: http://www.nba.com/news/blackbox_060628.html As far as the best ball goes I'd go with the TF 1000 also. It has great grip and as far as I know most colleges play with it...I figure if it's good enough for them then it's good enough for me. I find that cheaper balls go lopsided easily.

Composite leather has way better grip. Leather loses it's grip pretty fast and I've heard nba players say that every leather ball bounces differently. Supposedly the composite leather balls all bounce pretty much the same.

obviously the new balls gonna be expensive as hell tho

i think im gonna get the spalding ZK pro just because of the votes its received...ive never actually tried it, can some1 tell me if its about the right weight (cuz i hate balls that r too heavy or too light), if it has good grip and its soft, etc...

o ya its composite leather right? does that mean it will last longer??

Yeah...the new nba ball is gonna cost ya 100 bones. Truthfully the ZK pro is the best I've personally played with and own. It's not heavy at all (it's standard weight) and I've had mine for two years without any noticable difference in grip and bounce. I doubt you'd be dissapointed, but you can't play with it outside of course. Good luck
