Spalding All Conference Basketball

Yes, the Spalding All Conference is designed as a hybrid ball. Its performance composite cover is durable enough to handle the rougher surfaces of outdoor asphalt while maintaining the grip needed for indoor hardwood.

This is a size 6 basketball, which is the standard size for women's collegiate and professional play, as well as youth leagues for boys ages 12 to 14. If you are looking for a standard men's size, you would need a size 7, which measures 29.5 inches.

The deep channels provide more surface area for your fingers to grip the ball. This extra tactile feedback helps with ball control, especially when you are dribbling at speed or setting up a shot.

Not particularly. The ball features a butyl rubber bladder, which is the industry standard for superior air retention. It is designed to hold pressure much longer than balls with latex bladders, so you can spend more time playing and less time pumping.

It offers a balance between the soft, tacky feel of a premium leather ball and the rugged durability of a rubber outdoor ball. It provides a consistent grip right out of the box without requiring the extensive break-in period that genuine leather balls often need.
