  All in all I'm impressed with it - it's really well made as per the GM7X that it replaced. Overall I think I actually prefer that older model - this one isn't as grippy even after just a couple of sessions on an outdoor court and I prefer the brighter orange, but it's still a great ball with a near perfect consistency to the bounce - but is for those who value the feel of a ball over the ability to grip it.
