Rawlings Crossover Basketball

Yes, the Crossover is specifically engineered for versatility. Its composite cover is durable enough to handle the abrasive surfaces of outdoor asphalt while maintaining the grip and feel required for indoor hardwood play.

The wide channel design creates deeper grooves between the panels, which gives your fingers more surface area to grip. This helps with ball control, especially when you are dribbling or setting up for a shot.

Yes, this is a size 7 basketball, which measures 29.5 inches in circumference. This is the official size used for men's high school, collegiate, and professional play.

While the ball is water-resistant and can handle playing in damp conditions or on outdoor courts, it is not weather-proof. To maximize the lifespan of the composite material, you should store the ball in a dry place when not in use.

Composite leather offers a 'tackier' feel right out of the box compared to traditional full-grain leather, which often requires a break-in period. This ball provides a consistent, reliable grip immediately, making it ideal for recreational use or physical education settings.
