User questions & answers

Question:	Hello, You can tell me if they send it the ball inflated or not. Thank you
Answer:	Hello and thank you for contacting Dazadi.com. The ball does come fully inflated. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Question:	Zi/o vs zi/o excel
Answer:	zi/o excel. I have the zi/o excel myself and I would recommend it to every basketball player, for it is not only good looking, but it feels better and is really good indoor/outdoor
Question:	What does composite leather mean
Answer:	Composite leather means it's made from leather fibers. I think it's analogous to wood particle board. The feel is pretty tacky; feels less synthetic and more like true leather.
Question:	What's the difference between the Zi/O Excel Basketball and the Zi/O Basketball
Answer:	The excel is supposed to be more for outdoor. But they both play the same. Have to say though this ball while it says outdoor will lose its grip in a month or two. For street ball it picks up dirt like crazy and you will lose your handles on almost anything but a simple layup. Personally trying the Nike elite ball at dicks. For 30ish bucks I hear good things. Had a chance to play the grooves on the Nike ball facilitates better shooting and handling
