    I'm really new to basketball and have only used the Adidas All Court (with the gold trim) as a kid, and later the Nike KD Full Court (with the silver trim). Can anyone tell me how those perform relative to the popular choices so I can start afresh with a good point of reference?

It feels like a 6.5 but when you play with it you can't really tell the difference. It's still holding up well, and might be one of the only basketballs you can under-inflate and it's still good.

    That's because there is 3x as many outdoor basketballs as there are indoor ones so it would just be too difficult to get through ALL of them. Each brand has at least 5 different outdoor types, so you got close to 20+ different outdoor basketballs. My personal preference is the Wilson Replica, but that's on asphalt and painted concrete. Straight concrete you might want to go Molten GM7x, and I've never used the Spalding Zi/O

    It's really based on preference and the court. If it's an asphalt court, I would say the replica all day long. It's going to hold up really well out there because that's a cleaner surface. A concrete court is gonna get dusty, so the Molten would be better for that because even when it's a little dirty it still plays well.

    Great question. So it looks like some of the Forge Plus balls (all except brown) are made of some sort of softer composite material that would be great for outdoor. The Molten is always going to be a solid outdoor choice regardless, but you might enjoy the feel of the Forge more if you haven't played with a Molten before.

    Better than buying an ugly ball that doesn't work! I always ask what kind of surface you'll be playing on because that usually dictates which direction to go as far as basketball. BUT the Molten works great on any surface, so it's a great choice but the Wilson NCAA JetPro is also a good fit.
