Our recessed Stealth Valve makes the valve nearly undetectable so you won’t feel the valve no matter where you touch the ball during play
Our unique symmetrical panel construction spaces out the panels so you’ll get a more even feel anywhere on the ball and it provides a more consistent bounce
The Rival combines Baden’s patented Cushion Control Technology (CCT) with a premium composite leather cover for optimum performance and feel
Approved by NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) and perfect for high school, junior high, and elite recreational men's and women's basketball game play
Additional information on CCT: Cushion Control Technology provides a layer of cushioning for Baden basketballs, resulting in a softer texture, more accurate bounce, and increased durability.
