Choose a indoor or outdoor ball? What's the difference?

There are two types of ball to suit different basketball playing surfaces. The ball can be played indoors ("indoor") or outdoors ("outdoor"). These different names, often printed on the ball, indicate whether the ball is designed for indoor or outdoor use.

The difference between a indoor and outdoor ball is the cover, which is rubber for outdoor use and leather for indoor, offering a better ball feel.

However, leather is less resistant and grippier than rubber. However, there are also hybrid leather balls that are much more resistant, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor basketballs!
