The Baden Elite Indoor Game Basketball is our Top-Of-The-Line composite leather basketball in which Baden's dedicated the last 30 years to perfecting. Baden designed this ball specifically for the Elite player looking for a premium indoor basketball that maximizes consistency and playability. You'll immediately feel the difference the first time you pick up this basketball versus the competitions. The Elite's proprietary, advanced microfiber cover creates the perfect tack that won't absorb moisture, gain weight or discolor like many other basketballs on the market. To ensure you'll never get a bad bounce, we've engineered the basketball with our patented Cushion Control Technology (CCT). This patented technology embeds thousands of tiny air cells in the ball's carcass. The ball also comes with our Stealth Soft-Valve System (SSS), which reduces the amount of exposed rubber from the valve stem and softens the entire valve panel. The Elite Indoor Basketball is also the only basketball on the market with a true symmetrical design giving the ball perfect balance and consistency.
