Even though this Baden “Court
"Even though this Baden “Court Canvas” “Court Warrior” colorway is one of the least expensive balls on my racks, it’s by far, already my favorite outdoor rubber ball of all time. Unrivaled grip, no painted areas (on this court warrior colorway at least) which can sometimes rob this perfect rubber compound of its insanely good grip/texture. I can’t stress enough how great this grip is, it allows for zero risk with many typically high risk palmed ball fakes, and palmed full-extension windmill actions on dunks. Features really nice deep contoured seams, which is sadly not very common for rubber outdoor balls. They tend to all be cast from the same lame, super-shallow-seam molds. But this Baden “Court Canvas” has just the right depth and contour, like some much more expensive indoor-only balls. So while many ignore rubbery/outdoor balls, Baden has created the shape, and texture/tackiness, of what I believe to be the greatest “insane grip outdoor ball” yet, bar none. Well done, Baden. I hope you expound upon this exact “Court Warrior” / no-paint outdoor masterpiece, in countless other bright vibrant colorways, with these bright white channels, and clean colorful panels. I advise taking a cue from some of the other balls on my pictured rack, and give us a “Court Warrior II” in almost the same colorway, but with Kelly green in place of the Aqua/mint, and many others with the white channels, and college/pro team colorways. A must, is the classic ABA “Royal/red/white” colorway, but with a sporty/modern twist: Kelly green or yellow seams ! So many colorways to make, in what I genuinely believe is the best outdoor rubber ball ever !"
