Want to get a new basketball pretty soon. My old one got stolen at the gym one day when I forgot to keep up with it after I lent it to some random people. I got a cheap replacement at Wal-Mart for 20$, but I just hate the way it feels. Anyone got any recommendations on what their favorite kind of basketball is?

I feel like i get a better handle on the evolution ball, but i like the way the fiba ball feels to shoot. i feel like it help to bring me back to good form.
 
Walmart's top end ball was actually pretty fun to play with indoors. super sticky but surprisingly soft. needless to say, the familiar feeling was comforting.

now, you wanna get a nice ball, i recommend the spalding tf-1000's.

Not really. The Wilson Evolution is a good call though. Spaldings take awhile to work in before they feel good but obviously are always solid. The Nike balls have always been meh, though I haven't played with one for awhile so maybe they've gotten better.

This was my old ball. Will probably go back to it. Wave balls are pretty popular at my gym. They just seem much easier to shoot to me.

Kind of interested in the Molten. They sell for 27 on Amazon. Is playing with a FIBA ball a huge difference though?
