$40 Molten GL7X vs. $140 GL7X Review

I've had a number of people in comments of other videos tell me I should do a review of a fake Molten baksetball. Well, I went on Amazon and found the one I wanted, and ordered. Much to my surprise it came earlier than anticipated, in better form than I prepared and of a quality much better than the dollar amount.
The real question: Is the $40 version just as good as the $140 version? The answer will actually surprise you.

    Stumbled onto your account while searching for a good Molten basketball for Outdoors and saw this and the BG3800 review.. Really enjoyed it and was informative. Also surprised me that you don't have that much subscribers 😲Subscribed now and hope to see more good contents from your channel. Thanks for the reviews!!😄

    Its hard to find reviews on molten! Here in cancun molten is a favorit. I only play outdoor and let me tell you that in 10 yrs ive never played with a better ball. I recently got scamed on some fakes. They are trash for out door use. However word on the streets is that some of them turn out to bee good balls. Im give them another try( not the gg7x). Ill be getting the bg5000 and bg 4500 next week. I hpoe they turn out good! Keep putting out good content on outdoor balls! Gracias

    Appreciate the comment and support Gustavo! I know out there in Mexico the Molten is the favorite FOR SURE. That’s the funny thing about the fakes, is sometimes it ends up being a really good basketball. But that’s usually 1 out of every 5 right? 😂 I’ll do my best to bring outdoor reviews but once October hits, I won’t be going outside in Seattle anymore. Y’all gonna have me do “Which ball is best to play with in the rain in 55 degree weather” 🤣😂

    Hey dude, got into basketball a bit less than a month ago after a 6 year break and found your channel while looking for ball reviews. You post some really good content and I thought Id just leave a little suggestion; maybe you could film some footage in the gym when using the balls you review? That way we could see the ball on court and your vids would look more pro imo. Keep grinding, cheers!

    I have a 3800 and I would say it's great for outdoor play. You can use it indoors, but I wouldn't suggest it. The 4500 I've only used a couple times through a friend of mine and it's actually really nice. Feels a little smaller than 29.5, but it has a nice feel and consistent bounce indoors.

How is that a good thing? If the Chinese want to make a cheap decent basketball I'm all for it. Just don't make it a fake.
