Tech Gives NBA New Grip

Basketball fans you now have two things to look forward too. No, it’s not the bounce back of Larry Brown or even the Knicks having a rebound season after last year’s fiasco. Speaking of bouncing and rebounds, Spalding the official basketball provider of the NBA has just released a new high-tech basketball. Dubbed the Cross Traxxion it packs a new design that will have a better grip and feel.

“Two interlocking panels cover the ball and provide more material coverage. The material is a microfiber composite with moisture management that provides superior grip and feel throughout the course of a game.”

To the average basketball fan the new high-tech ball might mean everything but to the average shopper, the $99.99 price tag might come with some hype of its own. So, if new kicks make you jump better this ball is sure to make you think you can shoot. Or leave you wondering why you just spent $99.99 on an orange ball.
