OK so maybe Michael Jordan doesn't need to look out for me, but the game has really improved with the latest in tech gear for basketball geeks. Yep some kind of electronics in the ball, tracks my shots and an app on my iPhone helps correct and deliver much better shots. Not sure how that all works, but it is fun and it is helping my game.

My kids like tracking their basketball skills. Easy to use with built in technology and nice leather finish. Wait for sales as I purchased for $100.

Two of my grandsons (one in high school; the other in middle school) are basketball players. They were ecstatic to receive this for Christmas. It has added a new level of practice to their skills, almost like having a personal shooting coach.

My teenage son is a basketball fanatic! I bought this ball for his birthday, and he absolutely loves it. He likes how it keeps track of his STATS. It can also tell if his shot is at three point range when he plays in the backyard. It's a bit pricey, but I purchased it as a "Best Buy Daily Deal" for a really good price.

Ball is made of good quality. My son plays solo most time and loved the challenges. I got it for $100 and that is reasonable instead of $200.

This ball doesn't only make you look like a fool trying to spin it repeatedly to get it to connect, once you do get it connected, it works correctly about 5% of the time. I had to use my Bluetooth headphones to get it to connect (which is odd, because it says in the help section not to use Bluetooth headphones as it may interrupt connection). I have tried setting the phone in multiple locations (different heights, angles, etc.), I have tried shooting from different spots, spinning the ball before each shot... no customer support or troubleshooting info anywhere. Absolutely hate this ball, and may never trust Wilson again. I should have listened to Tom Hanks.

I've seen other bluetooth basketballs before that tracked ball flight and other aspects of playing to help improve your game. But this one only tracks bounces and time. Pretty useless bluetooth functions.
