Product Description

The Baden Elite Indoor Game Basketball is our Top-Of-The-Line composite leather basketball in which Baden's dedicated the last 30 years to perfecting. Baden designed this ball specifically for the Elite player looking for a premium indoor basketball that maximizes consistency and playability. You'll immediately feel the difference the first time you pick up this basketball versus the competitions. The Elite's proprietary, advanced microfiber cover creates the perfect tack that won't absorb moisture, gain weight or discolor like many other basketballs on the market. To ensure you'll never get a bad bounce, we've engineered the basketball with our patented Cushion Control Technology (CCT). This patented technology embeds thousands of tiny air cells in the ball's carcass. The ball also comes with our Stealth Soft-Valve System (SSS), which reduces the amount of exposed rubber from the valve stem and softens the entire valve panel. The Elite Indoor Basketball is also the only basketball on the market with a true symmetrical design giving the ball perfect balance and consistency. The Elite is approved by the (NFHS) and is the official basketball of many AAU leagues and numerous state high-school associations across the country

Great ball
I got an evolution for me and This baden elite for my son. Both a couple weeks old. I've played probably 10 times with each. And it's not even close. The Baden elite is a better ball. Better quality! Better grip! Better panels! Better air hole! But people love to ride trends. And the trends say the evolution is the best. But it's just simply not true. This baden elite is definitely better And I'm not even going to say in my opinion. Because I don't see how you could have any other opinion unless you prefer a slicker, less quality ball.🤷🤪
