The fake one actually looks better for my taste. It's surface is not wrinkled like the real one's and the embossed texts looks better on it than the printed ones which look like a cheaper solution.

Its funny how you can see some wrinkles on the real ball...ive got an old GL 7 and all the features were already there at the time. Still seeing wrinkles after the ball stored for such a long time...and starting playing with it. Grip from a real leather vs the other models is lower.

Hi Quentin Schneider. If sold by Amazon i would imagine they are genuine, if sold by a 3rd party on Amazon though I'm cannot say. The GL7X ball isn't game ready though so does take 90 minutes or so of use to get the leather in a playable condition. It may just feel odd as not game ready yet. You could ask Molten directly if the barcode on the ball matches the manufacturers barcode. Hope this helps.

“PU leather” is “polyurethane” NOT LEATHER! As far as leather goes, they’re both fake! “Composite leather” is a microfiber (PU) material. Only balls that say “genuine leather” are leather. Spalding and now (and again) Wilson make genuine leather balls and they are exclusively the NBA models.

Hi, obviously I cannot be 100% sure but would suggest one thing, if the ball looks priced at a deal that is too good to be true, then it probably is worth questioning the retailer.

Hi Bla Bla sorry to see you leave however, if the markings do not match what the manufacturer says should be on the ball then surely it is obvious it is a fake. If everything matches then assume it is genuine if purchased from official retailers as listed on the brands website (Not all brands have a list on their website though as they may also sell direct and choose not to promote other retailers, even though many have placed forward orders and have spent many years supporting that brand)
