Breaking in a New Basketball?
does anyone know how to break in a new basketball? it’s a composite leather indoor/outdoor ball. it sounds like plastic when i dribble now… but it’s a Spaulding (they don’t make em like they used to..) - so i want to know if there is a way to break in the balls surface kinda like the way you break in a baseball mit. don’t just tell me “go outside and dribble…” or i’ll dunk on you. thanks hoop fans!
I just got a new spalding neverflat. It sounds like a tennis ball when i bounce it. its supposedly indoor/outdoor. however dirt from outdoor courts gets on it, and it gets slipperly. its tempting to use another ball when i’m with other people, but i try to keep using it and break it in. I hate to say it, but there isnt really a way to break it like a baseball mitt. You really are just going to have to dribble. I think dribbling on concrete will be the best to break it in. If you are mostly going to use it outside, you should keep it outside and that will defintily break it in.
