or are you guys talking about one no longer made/produced that was full leather.
Thanks for the reply Zyzz. So that pic above IS the original TF-1000 everyone is talking about? I'm confused because of the 'ZK Microfibre Composite' writing and everyone saying the ZK is trash..Originally Posted by Zyzz

If your able to find the TF1000 above and love it, better buy them up before you can no longer find them.

I hate the Evolution, too slippery for me. Feels too fake.
I am a big fan of The Rock and Baden balls.

So if I can find the exact ball as above, I should buy a couple, right?
so the old one is basically discontinued then and the one I pictured is the next (current) best thing?Originally Posted by mco85
I have that ball and I don't think its the original. I agree that the one in Gold is trash, but the one pictured above is not as good as the original. The old one was a great ball if I knew where to find it I would buy like 5 of them

get an nba official leather ball. buy some og (red and blue) barbasol... its not a conditioner so it doesnt put that protective waxy junk, but it softens up leather (old baseball glove trick). put a very thick coat of it all over the ball and let it sit overnight. wipe it down with a wet cloth and then just man up and play ball with it. in about 3-6 months, itll be money....
there's nothing better sounding in basketball than a swish with a leather ball.
ebay btw still has some sellers with new, old versions of balls
But I've never heard of this trick for the official NBA one. I'll do it on mine because like I said, I have had it well over a yr and it still feels hard and plasticy.
where can cop one? cant find those anywhereOriginally Posted by UptownsDotNetStacky
I'd go FIBA before evo (and I own one)
