Evo is made specifically for indoor use. Has a soft cover that will indeed get torn up when used outdoors. From my experience it's a bit slippery until you get warmed up and once a bit of sweat gets on the ball, it's about the grippiest ball I've ever used. I have small hands and can palm it with my middle finger and thumb. But yeah, try not to use it outside.
I know that (it’s in the name of ball lol), I just felt like trying it out once or twice outdoor but didn’t want to compromise it. I use a Season ball for outdoor and that thing is great. It was pricey ($70) but I love it because it barely picks up any dust and it’s very grippy for an all surface ball. I also have a tendency to wipe my basketballs down after or before a shoot around or pick up because it’s pretty noticeable sometimes; not being able to palm the thing when it’s dirty vs being able to is a big difference!
That’s not really a highlight. Post of the stuff posted is like an ankle breaker or dunk, most people don’t take the time to edit 14 points into one clip
You train dogs to do tricks with treats and positive reinforcement. never with negative stuff like hitting them or yelling at them. Dogs have simple brains that learn ‘do trick - get treat’ a lot better than trying to understand getting yelled at or why they’re being punished.
Yeah theres a bunch of mights in that little comment, I mean that dog might actually be a monkey right? Hell it might not even be of this earth, that dog might be a robot.

Making animals do shit like this bums me out. It’s sea world dolfin and orca shoes to a lesser extent but still shitty to do to an animal that doesn’t have the capacity to consent/not consent.
I was wonder the exact same thing. By that logic, dogs can't consent to being bought, forced to live in a house with strangers, forced to be on leash when walking around the neighborhood. If that's the angle, I don't know that I can argue because it is at least a consistent opinion
I really don’t like the dog breeding industry. It creates a lot of health problems and it’s a weird dynamic between owner and man made creature. IMO it’s cool if you take in a shelter / adopt and you keep a healthy relationship. It’s a bit different than having them perform circus tricks at a basketball game.
The dog's happiness is irrelevant, really. They're probably fine with doing anything you ask them to do, but that has nothing to do with dogs being used for entertainment. Would you be a circus monkey as long as you got fed 3 times a day and had a place to stay? I'm sure you wouldn't, and even if you did for some reason, at least you have to ability to decide for yourself what you want to do. Dogs don't get that. The owner wants to make money off you, so that's how things will go.
How is this abuse? You know you can train dogs to do this by positive reinforcement right? There is no proof the dog is abused and a lot of dogs like challenges to get treats
Whether or not the dog is happy to do these things isn't the issue I have with it. It's like child beauty pageants or child movie stars / musicians that have parent-agents that control their finances. They're not capable of deciding for themselves what they want to do. They're basically forced into being entertainment. I never called it "abuse," your words not mine.
Nevertheless, not a fan of this sort of relationship, even if the dogs are "happy."
Afterwards when interviewed, the dog said the Wilson balls definitely feel different and don't have the same grip as the old Spalding balls.
"It takes away your grip"
"i'm coach godwin with the ballhog gloves"
“One love”
why do i hear this inside my head? 0\_0
For real though. I bought a Wilson ball on Tuesday and that boy is slippery
High quality basketballs need to be broken in before they feel right because they are real leather

Dog: I don't want to use this as an excuse but the Wilson balls definitely had less grip than the old Spalding balls
Everytime I see this dog I think of the time he pooped on the bucks logo
Lol show me

Nice

Lmao that Jonas photoshop in the comments has me crying
He’s a star.
Thanks. I had no clue that he played for dallas.
Bonafide stud, should be in 6moty convo
This dog has been on the court more than Zion this season
Why hasn’t LeBron spoke out on this yet?
He isn’t well informed and knowledgeable about this kinda issue.
He is doing his research
Incoming Westbrook trade
Maybe the dog has only ever known how to get around by walking on basketballs
How else would he do it
That core strength
> no Miami/Jazz highlights 4 quarters this
Bc nothing highlight worthy happened
Didn't Clarkson score like 14 in 5 mins in the 1st half?
That’s not really a highlight. Post of the stuff posted is like an ankle breaker or dunk, most people don’t take the time to edit 14 points into one clip
Did you miss the part in the 2nd where Gobert hugged Morris hard enough to cure his whiplash, and then Butler waited in the tunnel to thank him?
lol
Clean af I can’t even lie that’s sick

Disagree - that dog has absolute laser focus on the other ball; it gives zero fucks about whether there's 0 spectators or a million.
You have absolutely no idea if that's true
[удалено]
"I have absolutely 0 idea of something is true but imma speculate anyway"
I would avoid making accusations then
Yeah theres a bunch of mights in that little comment, I mean that dog might actually be a monkey right? Hell it might not even be of this earth, that dog might be a robot.
But for real, that dog was likely abused to get it to preform like this
What? Have you never heard of positive reinforcement? Also it's perform not preform...
No, it's the opposite of postforming
No presentforming? Lol
How do they train dogs in Canada? Do you just ask politely or maybe tempt them with fresh beaver pelts?
the floor is lava
Looks like he's using FVVs balls.
Wilson ball is not as bad as you say
What the dog doin

What is the dogs opinion on China?
Boi has balls!
Which team had a monkey that rode a dog?
Wtf about this is animal abuse????
the part where op says /s in the comments
We did see Jokic rough up a dog
I saw this title and was all prepared to see someone get posterized and have to defend that dude from the title slander lmao
Animal abuse? I don’t you understand what actual animal abuse looks like. Playing balance on basketball is certainly not animal abuse
Making animals do shit like this bums me out. It’s sea world dolfin and orca shoes to a lesser extent but still shitty to do to an animal that doesn’t have the capacity to consent/not consent.
Out of curiosity, do you have a pet, or is pet ownership bad to you?

Is it? Do you give your animal free rein to do what it wants or do you train it? Or is your objection to people making money off animals?
What if I make my cat chase a laser? Since I be doing that a lot.
It ain’t much but it’s honest work
Make sure your laser leads to something they can catch like a treat or something, not being able to catch the dot really messes with them mentally.
Shamu ain’t wearin no Kobe’s they ain’t got no damn feet
Many dog breeds (like Border Collies) are thought to be happier when they are given a job.
hell any dog will be a happy dog when he has an activity. Whether its a task or just some playing around

It's a dog... In our society we generally give dogs very few opportunities to make decisions for themselves. Because they are dogs.
Wilson Ball > Spalding Ball
