|
Spalding's Never Flat basketball is the first-ever ball with proprietary pressure retention technologies guaranteed to hold air up to 10 times longer than traditional basketballs. Traditional basketballs lose air on a consistent basis, resulting in a ball that falls out of official game ball specification within a few months. Spalding's Never Flat ball utilizes exclusive full-ball construction technologies to dramatically increase pressure retention. 
New membrane technology tightens the natural pores in the bladder to improve pressure retention. This exclusive technology is specifically designed to repel the air mixture molecules.. | A new membrane and NitroFlate air technology virtually eliminates air's ability to escape. This new membrane technology tightens the natural pores in the ball's bladder to improve pressure retention. In addition, proprietary NitroFlate molecules are injected into the ball, forming a protective barrier against air seepage. It also features a redesigned valve with cap to eliminate leaks and keep dirt out. This official-sized ball provides consistent NBA Game Ball bounce height for at least one year. It's made from high-performance composite leather, which provides leather-like softness and superior grip. About Spalding

Best Basketball |
|
I played basketball almost everyday outside with this ball for 2 years before it started becoming a little flat. Yes, you can inflate it. Remove the little plug and pump it up like any other basketball. This is the best basketball I've ever had in my life, and I'm very picky about what kind of balls I play with because basketball is my main sport. The texture and material is great, especially for outdoor use. If you're going to buy a basketball, this is no doubt the one you need to get. |

this basketball is awesome. you CAN add air to it. take out the plug with pliers, and pump air into the ball or deflate it.so for the people that think you cant inflate it you have to THINK. your'e not a caveman. |

Went Flat in a Week |
|
Ours went flat within a week of getting it, apparently from a nail hole. I believe a neighborhood prankster took the label "Never Flat" as a challenge. Regardless of that, if it is advertised as "Never Flat," I believe it should be able to withstand a puncture and still hold air. It might be better for driveway courts to remove the words "Never Flat" from the ball. |

Other Reviewers are Misinformed |
|
Contrary to what the previous three reviewers have stated you CAN add air to this ball. The ball is guaranteed to stay at the proper pressure for one year. If it leaks during that period return it for a new ball. After a year it may leak like any other ball. Yes there is a cap over the air hole, but that cap can be removed and the ball inflated or deflated. I've been informed that this is actually one of Spalding's more popular basketball for the outdoors. |

Where's the airhole? |
|
We've all seen the commercial. Featuring an animation demonstrating its "Never-Flat" technology and an appearance by NBA superstar Paul Pierce, this basketball seems legitimate. It's not. There is no airhole. I made a poor decision by buying this basketball before looking for an airhole and I'm pretty sure many people did not know about this ball's fatal flaw either. From now on, I'm going to forget about gimmicks and just buy normal basketballs. |
