Bounce test is fine. Storage is the problem. You need to remember - the air in a basketball exerts actual pressure outwards. You can pile some stuff on top of it and, up until a certain not-insignificant weight, it will not deform. Try that with this. Storage and transport of these, for me, would make it too inconvenient for regular use. If I can't chuck it in the trunk and forget about it it's a hassle.

Surface normals 90 degrees to the air's velocity will (nominally) have little effect on drag, relative to surface normals that are parallel to it. Of course, when you take into account turbulent flow, things are more complicated, but I would expect the ball with gaps to exhibit less air resistance overall. You can see this intuitively by feeling the air resistance of a fly swatter, when the head is covered by a flat piece of paper, vs when it's uncovered (indeed, this principle is why fly swatter's are designed with holes in the first place - the air disturbed by a solid head would actually propel the fly away from it).

Some players put more spin on the ball others, the aerodynamics will be affected with a hollow ball no ifs ands or maybes, but like I said, they will put a thin layer of skin in the future so the air passing through won't be as pronounced.

An extreme example would be trying to use these balls outdoors, these will wobble more than Ronaldo knuckleballing one of those $2 children balls. You don't need a PHD in Aerodynamics to know that even the slightest bit of wind will the ball behave wildly different to a traditional ball. Even if / when a ball is spinning in the air, the aerodynamics are still widly affected with there being holes all over the structure. I can bet any amount of money that players will notice a difference

If its full of holes it won't cut through the air the same having air go through the ball I guess would cause turbulence and it won't have a true flight right?

One word... AERODYNAMICS! Throwing a ball with holes throughout is a curve ball

It bounces quieter too. Interesting future ahead

I want to see it be shot. On a windy day, the ball will probably be pushed around a lot more than a normal ball would. (edit) Ok. I did extensive research on this topic. First, If the ball is supposedly the same weight as the official NBA game ball, then the ball should actually be affected less by wind and fluid friction than an NBA ball because it has less surface area, allowing air to pass through the ball. Second, if the ball is made out of carbon fiber as claimed, then then ball could have the chance to deform if enough force is applied. To make sure this doesn't happen, the manufacturer should add a complex pyramid-shaped core to support the force. (edit 2) After thinking about this for about a year and educating myself on physics, I have concluded that this ball would most definitely be pushed around more on a windy day. The ball would actually have more surface area because of the accessible area on the inside of the ball and on the sides of the holes in the ball which would allow air molecules to affect it more. However, despite contrary belief, carbon fibre is actually denser than the leather and core of the ball that would be on a regular basketball. That being said, the ball would probably weigh the same. There would also be minimal risk of deformation as carbon fibre is a fairly strong material. How would it bounce tho? You can stop fighting in the replies now lol

@@TravisTheSavage Tires that don’t have air in them aren’t permanent tires. Most tire sales are standard replacements, and that’d continue. The tread still wears down. More likely they’re costly to produce and the people who want to spend big money on tires tend to want speed over durability. I’m guessing on that last bit. But there’s no conspiracy, there’s just not a reasonably-sized market sector that wants to buy them.

This man looked dead straight into the camera and lied to us while showing explicit proof that he’s lying. I swear, the internet these days.

I expect that these will lose their bounciness the more the material is used, since the bounciness comes from the material itself, instead of from air. You can refill a normal basketball with air if it bounces less... No "maintenance" possible on these 3D-printed ones, so new ones will have to be bought constantly to keep around a ball that follows regulation.

“Just like when you melt anything, it becomes a little stiffer?” Never heard that one before I must be stupid.

There’s likely no difference in drag since the inside of the ball should never have any measurable degree of wind flowing through it, due to its specific design. The ball as a whole would have as much resistance as any other ball of the same size. Iunno where y’all are pulling this from.

@@ZacharyVeredI think the main issue comes from the added surface area exposed to the outside. Because of the holes, molecules of dust, dirt, debris, etc. can probably accumulate over the course of a single game alone to the point that the highly trained players of the NBA might start to shoot worse further into the game due to the weight discrepancies. It will be interesting to see if that does actually prove to be an issue.
