Wilson Ncaa Evo Nxt Basketball Review

Wilson Evo NXT – a splendid hybrid of the Evolution and Solution balls. A fusion that’s got the entire US and Europe abuzz, and notably, the crown jewel of Fiba Champions League in Europe and the official ball of Ballislife.

Extended Range Tech:

I’ve tried shots from far and wide but with the Evo NXT? Every long-range shot felt like a short hop, thanks to its unique weight redistribution. It’s intriguing how this soft-core construction might tweak the spin by a smidge, yet offer a noticeable range boost.

Weight:

Not the feather-light or the rock-heavy kind. It perfectly weighs like its Wilson siblings. Though for some, this new ball initially feels a tad lighter – an aspect I appreciated during extended playtime.

Micro-touch Cover:

Imagine shaking hands with someone who has the softest, yet the firmest grip. That’s how the Evo NXT feels. This double-layered, pebbled grip ensures no slip-ups, literally. And, yes, it’s microscopic but makes a massive difference.

Super Soft Core:

Dribble on a rough court? A damp patch? Or with sweaty palms? The super soft core’s got your back. I found its unique cushioning to be NXT level (see what I did there?) in control and responsiveness.

Moisture-Wicking System:

My hands sweat, a lot. But with the NXT, every dribble felt dry and in control. Trust me; the moisture-wicking feature isn’t just a fancy term. It works, and it’s a game-changer.

100% Composite Leather:

While it might not feel like traditional leather, this ball’s cover provides unmatched control due to its laid-in channels. Some might be put off by its less-than-leathery feel, but its performance outshines this minor gripe.

What I Wish Was Different:

Extended tech range: I’m on the fence here. Not a groundbreaking change, but unique nonetheless.

Appearance: That orange hue is bright, not my favorite, but it grew on me.

The NXT’s vibrant orange might be a tad too zesty for some initially, but over time it becomes the ‘go-to’ on the rack. It feels light, shoots smoothly, and delivers consistently. While playing tournaments in Oklahoma, transitioning from the old-school Wilson to the NXT did raise eyebrows. And about Kobi’s free-throw miss? Let’s just say, the ball wasn’t at fault!

In wrapping up, while the NXT combines the best of its predecessors, it also carves its identity. It embodies progress, both in design and performance. So, if you’re looking to redefine your game, why not give the Wilson Evo NXT a shot?
