Answer:	Rubber
Question:	does it come inflated
Answer:	Purchased 03/12/19 and DID NOT come inflated. Didn't have any packaging. Just came in a plastic bag. Good thing I had a pump and needle, otherwise, I'd be annoyed.

User questions & answers

Question:	is there a leather conditioner i can use to speed up breakin of my leather ball
Answer:	I have found out that using a conditioner will make the ball greasy and it takes a while for it to come off. I have used a a very small amount of leather cleaner after time on the court, but mostly I'll just use a touch of warm water on a paper towel to clean and soften up the leather. It really just needs a lot of dribbling and use and to make sure you're wiping off dirt and dust after every couple of uses
Question:	Does the official nba basketball have a "official d-league ball" stamp on it because the one i purchased for $140 does have it
Answer:	This ball is the official NBA professional game ball.
Question:	Is it legit? I bought it and it feels bad and it doesn't seem authentic, really bad quality control too
Answer:	All the NBA game balls have to go through a period of time to get broken in. In the NBA equipment managers actually take then into the sauna and do other creative methods to help break then in. As they get used they will become more smooth and obtain the feel you are looking for. This is natural.
Question:	I noticed that the gameball being used is different from the one in the picture. The ball is quite smooth and shiny and the grooves are deeper
Answer:	The ball is the same ball. The grooves would be the same. The surface may become shinny with use. There is no other option. This is the NBA game basketball. It does not get any better than this!
Question:	Is each pack different or are they all the same
Answer:	Each pack was different but amongst them you will have duplicate cards.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does it mean - replica
Answer:	Replica means that this is the not Official NBA Game Ball used by NBA players, but a ball that resembles the Official Ball.
Question:	Does it last long for play outdoors
Answer:	you need to buy a pump because it does deflate when used outdoors
Question:	Has anyone compared the sp. indoor/outdoor replica game ball with the sp. neverflat indoor/outdoor replica game ball? what's the difference
Answer:	I really don't like the never flat balls. They don't feel right to me. The replica is very soft and grippy. The N.F. feels rough, heavy and hard.
Question:	Is the ball fully inflated when I receive it
Answer:	The one I received was fully inflated.

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

User questions & answers

Question:	How does the basketball feel
Answer:	So we’ve used Wilson Evolutions, the TF-1000s, and the new Adidas indoor game ball. They are all great game balls. The TF-1000 has a great, tacky, feel. I’d buy it again.
Question:	Bought 28.5 inch cause of a tf-500 at my gym i can palm real easy. this not quite as easy. better over time? does it get less slick? inflated to 8 lbs
Answer:	That’s a girls/young boys size ball. Yes, it doesn’t stay slick like that. Great ball.
Question:	What does the "bundle" mean for the 28.5 balls
Answer:	Hello Mary,Thank you for your inquiry. This item is sold as a single ball, there are two different 28.5 balls, one as bundle has a different description than the one described just as 28.5. It is used to differentiate between the two kinds of 28.5 balls offered. Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.Kind Regards,ElsieCustomer Service RepresentativeS&S Worldwide
Question:	does this ball have advance moisture management like the origingal
Answer:	This ball is nothing like the original TF1000. It had an almost waxy surface. The next best thing is the evolution by Wilson or the contour by Rawlings. The classic does not wick away slightly sweaty palms for that perfect grip the original TF1000 would to stabilize a palmed ball. If you played ball for number of years you will regret this purchase
