Price $47.00WTH00010 - ARX Game Ball

Wilson calls this a training ball. Carefully read their descriptions and the reviews before purchasing this ball. Wilson's Website. The only OPTX ball we had to compare with weighed 1 gram less than the ARX ball we tested. Both balls were well within the 260-280 gram official weight range. Our test ARX ball did seem a bit more bouncy and did get an egg shape by the second day of play. If you are looking for a ball just to hit, check out the discountinued NVL ball below.
