Hey man love your videos, being in Hawaii we are unfortunate to not see new products till much later than the continental US and by then we have to wait for a long time before we actually can receive or buy things. I love to watch new videos and liked to try to keep up with everyone but have to either wait for shipping or delays because we are in Hawaii. Due to shortage of sporting goods companies, we have to look online for equipment's etc... so we are at a disadvantage when trying to look for new things. Hopefully, we will be able to get a hold of the original EVO nxt or the ncaa one sooner than later.
@@Love2Hoop Hiya: so I shared your video with a friend and he asked me to ask you this silly question; I know its a long shot but if you didn't already give away your older evo nxt ball yet, he asked that you consider giving it away to us in HI we would share it in our public gym with the younger hoopsters if you already did then no worries, but to also consider us in your future giveaways, he really enjoyed your video and we continue to look forward to more interesting content from you, I have a cousin and his 3 sons living in Renton WA since I saw your intro with seattle in the background, I assuming you reside in Seattle, and shared your video with them too, they really enjoy hooping it up in renton.
I have, for some reason, such an interest in basketball equipment. You are one of the only UA-camrs that gives great reviews on basketballs and have helped me make a decision multiple times! I was going to pull the trigger on the Evo but couldn't find it anywhere. My local Scheels had it for size 6 only. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Nike Elite Championship 8.0 and absolutely love it. Keep up the good work on these basketball reviews and I enjoy the Vlogs!
I gotta figure out how to highlight this comment even more than just pinning it because if you enjoy the vlogs you my friend are a friend of mine lol. Lately I've been going back and forth between the Nike Elite and the NCAA EVO and man, they feel great.
@@Love2Hoop Yes, I really enjoyed the series with you playing in the tournament and explaining how the games went and stuff. Its definitely nice to see real world hoopers going at it at that arent professionals because I can actually relate to them haha. Yeah, I love them both. We play morning ball with the TF-1000 which is ok, but I definitely enjoy when we get to use the Nike Elite better!
No joke man, im 27. Played ball as a kid, but dropped it in highschool bc i was more talented at different sports. My homies recently encouraged me to start ballin again, and your channel has been great content to get me up to date. The grind gonna pay off soon, u gonna make it, keep up the good work!
Love the reviews. I’m almost 40 and just had my first kid but I love to still hoop. Your reviews have helped me find a good ball. I am trying to stay in shape and continue to hoop. My dream is to hoop w my kid one day. Thanks again.
Aye that’s part of the reason I’m still hooping today so if my daughter decides to hoop I can still get out there and show her something. Phil Handy is the inspiration
Hey man I just discovered your channel and I’m really glad that I did! I’ve been playing with a friends original Evo nxt for a while and I wanted to research if it’s worth it, or to buy the NCAA one. Thanks again, and I enjoy the content!
Man, my videos are really tailored to someone going through that same scenario. You have been using a basketball, curious if you should buy it yourself, then you get a review to help with your choice. Happy I could provide some help 👍
I just got my Wilson evo nxt ncaa a few weeks ago and I can’t miss with it. The grip is amazing and I hope the grip last longer. I had the Wilson solution but the grip only lasted for 6 months ( I was playing indoor only with that ball). Let’s hope this new evo nxt has more grip durability.
I hope so too! If the ball smooths out and loses a little bit of grip it'll still be a great ball to shoot with but I understand totally what you mean. The grip on this basketball for shooting is almost perfect!
I bought the OG right before everything closed down for quarantine. I thought it was going to be the new thing. Loved the softness. But after 3 or so years I finally brought it out to take a break from my leather basketballs and I just didn’t love it. Not to mention, the evolution is pretty much the only game ball here, so I’d rather just get a new one of those. I’m loving the official Wilson nba ball. I’m surprised by how many people don’t like it. It gets called a “sh*tty” ball quite often. Blows my mind because I’ve gotten so used to the stiff leather feel that the composite balls just feel so weird and squishy now. I want to find another Spalding nba ball because I genuinely love the consistent shape of that ball when shooting. My Spalding model m completely wore out within a few months, but the pebbling was less raised on that than the previous NBA ball.
I look forward to your comments just as much as you look forward to new videos from me haha. At this point I've heard all the comments about the Wilson official, and most of the comments are right. It's almost impossible to get someone to like the basketball if they haven't spent time using it because the feel is so different than everything else on the market.
Keep bringing us that content on the latest best basketball, and feel free to send that Evo this way, lol to make room for your next review which should be the Dime basketball 💯
The first two reviews on the Dime basketball say "Better than the EVO" straight away lol. I might have to look into that one for sure, especially that McDonald's Game version.
@@Love2Hoop its a good ball but nowhere near the level of the adidas pro 3.0, nike championship 2.0 or nxt or baden elite. I trained with the dime and baden for a month and I was impressed with it but more I used it the slicker it got and found myself using the baden. Got the adidas and nike in and those other two immediately got sold. The ADIDAS 3.0 seriously is the truth then the Nike comes in 2nd for me personally. As a college assistant having had used dang near them all (we currently use the tf 1000 legacy due to NAIA official ball) the adidas is the one all my guys want to use daily, I don't have an Instagram but if you wanna send an ex Hooper and now coach chasing the dream a ball I'd gladly accept lol but for real your videos are great especially how expensive the world has become I hate seeing people getting buyers remorse
I still have the first version of the EVO NXT. I fully agree with you bro. The first version to me feels lighter than the new one and I think it's because they just wanted to add a little more weight to it for college players. that's just my theory. I love your videos man I would love to hoop with you one day!!! I noticed Wilson changed look of the word setup near the Air Pump needle hole too. the newer EVO is Circular, the old one has the letters placed horizontally. I've hooped with both but honestly I prefer the OG one. idk maybe it's because I'm just so used to the lightness of it. I'm glad you made a video on this because I was waiting for you to compare the two because I believe people that love hoops and basketball equipment like you and I should know the difference.
Real hoopers can pick up a ball and notice the differences right away. That probably why when I try to use the Wilson NBA they ain’t going for it, they want the evolution instead. The EVO even gets strange looks out here. Where you located my boy? I might be in a city near youu
@@Love2Hoop I'm located in Houston born and raised! I love the city of seattle! i plan on moving there one day! and same goes for out here in Houston, dudes never RARELY want to play with my Wilson NBA Ball UNLESS they are already pros/ semi pros that already are used to a real genuine leather GROWN MAN ball. Everyone here loves the wilson evolution (the ball i dislike the most it's terrible always getting sweaty and slippery) because it seems many people are afraid of change. the Evolution has been the standard ball for High School and Pick Up for more than 20 years lol so I understand why people don't want to change up balls but there's so many other basketballs that are better than the Evolution (IMO) . what's your IG my guy ?! I'm gonna follow you!
@@Love2Hoop that’s hilarious cuz when i first started playing with the EVO Nxt I really had to get used to it cuz it felt so different from the evolution.
love these videos - they are all fire! Hows the EVO NXT NCAA held up for you after 11 months? I just copped it a few days ago and I feel like it has a dead bounce when dribbling which you mentioned as well its so weird and hard to describe but hoping it gets better after time?
I'm not sure if the bounce gets better over time or if you just get used to it from playing with the basketball that much. I will say the NCAA version will get heavier once you break it in.
This is unrelated to your video but I got an original Evolution for Christmas can I use it outside. I also love your content and you are very underrated. You are also one of the people that have good basketball reviews.
I love hearing that underrated comment because it let's me know we're all headed in the right direction. Just know when this channels blows up you were here before 2K subs!! So you CAN take it outside, but if you don't have any other indoor basketball to use I wouldn't because it'll ruin it over time. It still plays great outdoors, but it's much better as an indoor basketball.
Late to this video but I just got the NCAA EVO nxt about a month ago. I grew up using the Baiden because here in Nebraska we use that as the game ball. I also used the evolution ball for YEARS. First run using the NXT was horrible the ball was SUPER grippy and I couldn’t make a shot, the feel to me is completely different from the evolution. It’s a lot lighter But as I break it more it’s better better for sure. I have always been a ball handler/shooter adjusting to this ball is a bit of a challenge for sure(shooting wise) I bet after I fully break it in it will be a great ball. So far it’s not to bad but I needed to update which ball I played with. I cannot find the Wilson Solution ANYWHERE so Evo NXT it is
Brother I hold my Solution very close to me now that they're pretty much extinct 🤣But like you I'm a pretty good shooter and I'm STILL getting used to my NCAA Nxt basketball.
I bought the Evo NCAA one a month ago. I have weird feeling about them - I love shooting them but not necessarily drilling them. They feel a bit hard too. They are really good with moistures and dust though. I still miss my evolution from time to time, just for how soft and smooth it feels in hand. But it doesn't do too well with dusty court, and I need to be warmed up and my hands need to be a bit sweaty to have great grip with the evolution.
Some of those same issues I've had too. I couldn't agree more about how the NCAA does well with moisture and dusty courts, but the consistency in shooting the ball (doing drills) makes this a little tough to get used to at first. Like any basketball there's a learning curve but man this one is good and bad and mid at the same time.
@@Love2Hoop man you speak my mind. I have not got completely used to dribbling the ball especially when I need to dribble hard (for a finish) or initial movement (drop and move). Like you said it’s a great mid and bad ball all at the same time to different ppl. Or even to me on different days. I look at it as a “new experience”. But I wouldn’t advise someone with limited budget to get this and hope they’ll love it because it the latest and greatest from Wilson. Ppl still pick the evolution over evo nxt almost half of the time in my pick up games. Evolution or solution (if you can find one) is a safer bet for anyone who can only have one ball
Whoa whoa whooooa you're asking about the Undefeated which means you're a early subscriber. Shouts out to you but honestly it's more decorative than anything now. Undefeated is one of my favorite apparel brands all-time so for me it's more of that than anything.
Bought my son the ncaa version last yr for his 5th grade aau season, its held up really well and uts always 1st choice when we go play pick up. Ncaa evo> regular evolution. Nothing better than the authentic Spalding nba ball tho, still gotta get my hands on the new wilson nba ball to compare
That's great parenting right there!! Not only did you get the right ball, but the one that everyone wants to use which gives your son cool points without even realizing it. There are some real differences between the Spalding and Wilson, enjoy the process and journey.
Hey just wondering but what’s the 3 letter thing on your Wilson ncaa evo nxt. It seems the ones being made from the V factory are worse than the N. I have 2 of these and the first one(N factory) had to be replaced because of a valve leak issue so I bought another one and this one was from the V factory and it felt nothing like my other one, the feel, everything about it was just off and the quality was not the same.
Does the ncaa game ball really come in a bright neon color or is there a traditional black lettering for the logos? I mean I don’t necessarily dislike the neon yellow but I would think imo that it would be too bright when playing with it on the court.
The ball comes in a bunch of different colors, I just got that color because it was one of the last available. They have black, blue, silver, white, gold, red, green, etc. If the black or gold were available I would have chose those first.
If you don’t have either ball and are interested in one of these two, which would you recommend? I’m thinking about the official college version but was curious what you think.
The official college version. When you first get them they feel virtually the same, but what I've found is that the NCAA gets a little heavier over time with the sweat and dirt from your hands getting into the composite leather. It turns it more into a Solution feel which I think is great.
Nike elite championship 2.0 or the new evo nxt? Also if your interested in doing an adidas pro 3.0 review I can send mine your way my views have changed on it the more it breaks in
I prefer the Nike, the dribbling on the NCAA is still taking some getting used to. Tell me what you think about it now that it's broken in. I've seen used 3.0 online to buy but that takes away from how I would feel with a new basketball. I might have to take you up on that offer though my g.
Wilson evo nxt my favourite ball I have the BAL version and it weights 599 grams. However when I first got it it was 594. I have the reg evo and solution the nxt hands down beats them all! However it did take a few sessions for it to break it but hands down evo nxt best ball played with
How long do you think it will last using outdoors 2-3 times a week on painted concrete? floors are pretty smooth, I was thinking and I don’t know which would be better and evolution or evo nxt ncaa I tried the NCAA nxt and I like the feel better but idk how it would hold up outdoors compared to the evolution
Whoooa do NOT take an NXT outdoors. The surface isn’t made for any kind of outdoor surface. If you’re going to use one of them outdoors on that particular surface I’d go evolution and just make sure to clean the basketball afterwards. Over time it should last longer than the EVO.
Haha I asked the same question on bros NCAA EVO nxt review yday. L2H said he hasnt had a chance to try the Africa league ball yet. Was thinking of getting the Africa League one too. If you find out let us know please
I thought this was @yanmee9517 asking me this question for the second time lol. I actually wanted the BAL evo more than the OG evo but it was always sold out and when it would restock I had already moved on to trying to get the NBA official. I'm on the hunt for one on sale somewhere to see how it plays, and I'll most likely replace my OG evo with the BAL one.
@@Love2Hoop Bro I bought 2 BAL evo nxt balls but their weights are different. One is 584 grams and another is 597grams. I could feel the difference even though they are the same ball. And i noticed that model of the bal evo nxt is wtb0900, it’s the same as the og evo nxt. So I guess the performance would be also the same.
Straight from the Wilson website. Here in the U.S they have 7 or 8 different colors to choose from. I only got this one because the other colors were sold out.
I have the Wilson Evolution ball with the blue lettering… it’s nice I love playing with it but it doesn’t have that soft touch like some of the other Evos do
I hate both ha ha. The dribbling never gets better. It’s kind of like the flutter you talk about on the shot. And in tournament last year so many good ball handlers just randomly losing it, shots crazy ass rolls and pop outs. I think it evens out the playing field like a dusty court does. Hinders pure shooters and elite dribblers.
I expect a few guys this March Madness to lose the ball off of weird bounces or send the basketball OVER the backboard misjudging the weight and travel of the ball. I agree, I'm stlll not used to the dribble of the NCAA but I've finally figured out how to shoot with it 🤣
@@kyriefan6312 Maaaan and I lowkey wish I still had it. I sold it to my homeboy because his son was getting serious about basketball and needed a ball. I gave him a DEAL too!

How do I clean the evo? If you have to estimate how long do you think each ball will last?
Thoughts on the new Spaulding tf model m?
I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet, but my assumption based on the details is that it's very similar to the older NBA Spalding.
Is the Basketball Africa League (BAL) the same Evo nxt as the NCAA Evo?
I'm not sure. I think it's closer to what the original EVO Nxt was, not the newer NCAA version which is a little heavier in weight.
i bought the Africa league EVO NXT cuz it looked cool and was on sale. do you think it would be similar to the original EVO NXT or the NCAA one?
Haha I asked the same question on bros NCAA EVO nxt review yday. L2H said he hasnt had a chance to try the Africa league ball yet. Was thinking of getting the Africa League one too. If you find out let us know please
I thought this was @yanmee9517 asking me this question for the second time lol. I actually wanted the BAL evo more than the OG evo but it was always sold out and when it would restock I had already moved on to trying to get the NBA official. I'm on the hunt for one on sale somewhere to see how it plays, and I'll most likely replace my OG evo with the BAL one.
@@Love2Hoop Bro I bought 2 BAL evo nxt balls but their weights are different. One is 584 grams and another is 597grams. I could feel the difference even though they are the same ball. And i noticed that model of the bal evo nxt is wtb0900, it’s the same as the og evo nxt. So I guess the performance would be also the same.
How would you compare this to the NCAA EVO NXT Replica basketball ?
I haven't seen the EVO replica, but I think this might be the time I email Wilson and see what's up! Maybe they can send one to me to review.
Is the molten gg7x that you can but in amazon legit or not?
Honestly I can't trust any of the basketballs off amazon these days 😂
Hey bro what's the heaviest basketball in your opinion?
Man that's a tough one, but probably fully inflated Wilson Evolution, or the BADL basketball I just got it pretty heavy.
Is this ball comepletely new and havent shiped to diffrent states yet?
Nope they should ship to all 50 states. They've gonna through two or three drops so they should be shipping nationwide in the U.S.
how can i buy the original evo because i lost mine and can’t find it online
The only place I've seen evo is through ebay or the "shopping" tab through Google.
you should do a season creates basketball review
Like a UA-cam series? I mean shit my channel is low key turning into that 🤣😂
@@Love2Hoop the ball my brotha. They say it's a really good ball. I hope you do one. Your reviews are my favourites❤️
Is the replica NCAA evo next good
It looks like a great basketball but I personally haven't used it yet.
What do you think is the best indoor ball
Wilson NBA Official, Wilson NCAA Solution, NCAA NXT
Anyone know where he got the yellow logo one from?
Straight from the Wilson website. Here in the U.S they have 7 or 8 different colors to choose from. I only got this one because the other colors were sold out.
Top3 outdoor basketballs?
Top 3: Wilson NCAA replica, Molten 3800, Spalding Zi/O
why is the original nxt more expensive on amazon than ncaa nxt?
I think because it’s not being produced anymore unless it’s the NCAA or replica versions of the basketball.
I have the Wilson Evolution ball with the blue lettering… it’s nice I love playing with it but it doesn’t have that soft touch like some of the other Evos do
I hate both ha ha. The dribbling never gets better. It’s kind of like the flutter you talk about on the shot. And in tournament last year so many good ball handlers just randomly losing it, shots crazy ass rolls and pop outs. I think it evens out the playing field like a dusty court does. Hinders pure shooters and elite dribblers.
I expect a few guys this March Madness to lose the ball off of weird bounces or send the basketball OVER the backboard misjudging the weight and travel of the ball. I agree, I'm stlll not used to the dribble of the NCAA but I've finally figured out how to shoot with it 🤣
If you give one away I would really appreciate it if I can get the ogrinal evo one. Thank you!
I can’t find it in any stores
@@kyriefan6312 Maaaan and I lowkey wish I still had it. I sold it to my homeboy because his son was getting serious about basketball and needed a ball. I gave him a DEAL too!
@@Love2Hoop do you know what website to find the ball on.
