Rawlings Cross-Over Basketball

Yes, the Rawlings Cross-Over is specifically engineered for versatility. Its waterproof construction and durable composite material allow it to perform consistently on both rough outdoor surfaces and indoor gym floors.

The tacky composite cover provides a slightly sticky, textured feel that helps you maintain a secure grip, even when your hands get sweaty. It offers a more consistent hold than a standard rubber ball but feels less aggressive than a high-end leather game ball.

Yes, this is a regulation-sized ball designed for men's play, which corresponds to a size 7 basketball.

The wide channel design creates deeper grooves between the panels, which gives your fingers more surface area to grip. This generally leads to better ball control and a more consistent feel when setting up your shot or handling the ball.

While the ball is water-resistant and suitable for outdoor play in various conditions, it is not designed to be left outdoors permanently. To maintain the grip and longevity of the composite material, we recommend storing it in a dry place when not in use.
