Spalding TF-500 Excel Basketball | Indoor & Outdoor Composite Ball

The Spalding TF-500 Excel was built for basketball players who want consistent grip and reliable feel across both indoor and outdoor courts.

Its all-surface composite cover combines the soft touch and handling of an indoor basketball with the durability needed for outdoor play. The sponge-backed construction creates a more comfortable feel in the hands, while the tacky surface improves grip during dribbling, passing, and shooting.
