I'm in the market for a new indoor ball. I had the Spalding Ultimate Indoor ZK Composite for 10 years.
I've played with the Wilson Evolution but I don't like the spongy feeling. Haven't played with the Spalding TF-1000's or Nike Elite.
What are you guys playing with?
 
I play with the Wilson Evolution. The TF-1000 is a great ball too, but they have different models and some of them aren't as good as the original.
 
if you like the TF, i would stick with the TF.

Most Nike balls i played with are trash. I prefer the Evolution over anything. The Solution is a sticky version of the Evolution. 

And stay away from the NBA game ball

tf 1000 that doesn't say 'legacy' or 'classic'. It's nothing like leather, the ones im talking about aren't for sale anymore in big name stores. Don't even know if they make em anymore

old tf 1000 > solution > evolution for me
 
TF-1000 ZK is the best indoor basketball, cannot go wrong.
I do enjoy the Nike's though.
 
The Rock has been great. Had it for a couple years and it's held its shape pretty well. Holds air well, too.

Only complaint is that right out the box it was a little slippery. Once it's broken in it's fine tho.
 
Thanks for the responses...What's your experience, good or bad, with each suggested ball (plays great right out of the box, too slippery, takes forever to break-in, dead bounce, gets lopsided quickly)?

I see most people playing with the Evolution and my local stores can't keep it in stock but it's too spongy IMO and even just for shooting around it rebounds short for me.
The ball I had before my daughter decided to play with it outdoors was Spalding's first ZK composite ball I bought back in 2000. It held great shape, bounce and grip for 14 years. I'd say that was the best ball I've ever played with.

I've looked for the 'old' TF-1000 but can't seem to find a store that carries in on hand.

@th3answ3r as far as 5 posts, maybe you just have a lot more to say than I do.
 
The reason why the Wilson Evolution is the most popular is because doesn't take long to break in , you should just get it or else, guys won't want to play with your ball
