I would do humidity conditioning and test. Also would try temperature cycling testing. Polymer mechanical properties can change drastically in different conditions. Also would be interested to see a comparison of a standard basketball and this prototype in a wind tunnel
Lol. Do you think they don't do that. One would only have to try it out to see for yourself. There was no original in depth testing to create the first basketball. They just made it. If it works it works lol
The "clack" sound this ball makes while being dribbled would certainly take time getting used to. Still, would pick one up just for a bit of dribbling every once in a while.
@@liamgjaltema5189 Laughable. I doubt this ball's worth more than 50-60$. For that money you can get some great balls - hell, the Evolution is oftentimes off to that price.
We won't know any of this for awhile. It's still a prototype and they said in another video that they wanted to make 1 just as a proof of concept. It would be astronomically unlikely that their 1st try is perfect. I'd say we are still probably 3-5 years to be safe, away from this being in a Finished state and starting mass production. 5 is a very conservative guess so I'd personally lean closer to 3 years.
I'm actually curious about how these balls would handle in real-world conditions. As in, how would they work in an actual game and in typical conditions such as an NBA stadium, a school gym, or an outdoor blacktop court. I'm going to hold onto saying whether this change is good or not until more is known.
it sounds extremely hard when hitting the ground. And because he never just bounced it normally or ACTUALLY showcased the ball. This seems like a 100% marketing ploy that will never be a thing.
I saw a drop test and this airless ball bounced half as high. I’ll stick with the normal ball, then you can control how much bounce you need if you’re playing outdoors in the sun or not
Suggestions: 1) Balloon inside the ball that prevents entry of dust and solid particles. 2) Or design the holes that allow one-way going outside while maintaining internal air pressure. 3) Accessory vacuum cleaner equipment that cleans up the insides of the ball.
I want to know how does this make the experience of playing basketball better? Seems like an over the top expensive niche product. I don’t see how this propels the game forward. There was no visual of a shot actually being taken just bouncing a round object off the ground. Not overly impressed.
Whoever is in charge of making these fake ass comments for Wilson plz make a suggestion to show real fucking footage in any of your videos of this piece of dogshit
It shouldn't be called Airless. It has the same air volume as any other ball (with the same dimension). It should be called "Wilson Relatively Pressureless (relative to the atmospheric pressure at the ball's location)" 😅
Volume only depends on the radius of the ball (4/3 πr3). It does change is the amount of substance, i.e. number of molecules inside the ball (ideal gas law).
That's a matter of perspective. If you assume that "ball" means "the convex hull of this solid object", then yes, the "airless ball" is misnamed. On the other hand, though, if you define "ball" to mean "the total mass moved when this object is thrown", then the surface holes do in fact make this ball airless! 😄
Is it just me or the bounce sound is off?
Probably since its not a solid surface, less slap
Yeah bro, there’s no air, so there’s no sound to reverberate inside the rubber
It’s added in bro
Definitely fake bounce sounds that were edited in
It's a ball with no air and holes in it I hope it would sound different
Basketball is no basketball without its classic sound
Yerp...
No satisfying "Swoosh" sound anymore!
Just... whatever sound _THIS_ thing makes!? lol
Still gonna buy it tho... LOL.
True. The way a leather ball kisses the net when swooshed is something truly special, wonderful sound.
if it is quieter when bouncing, that would be good for certain situations

Pretty sure the amount of time spent making the prototype. They’ve prolly already done all of this. Especially since wilson made it
Bro thinks he’s a scientist
Lol. Do you think they don't do that. One would only have to try it out to see for yourself. There was no original in depth testing to create the first basketball. They just made it. If it works it works lol
blah blah blah test who d fuck is this Einstein?
@@Carson-im2vc you are aware of the fact that people in RUclips comments can in fact be scientists?

Apparently one would cost around 260 usd

Will dirt get stuck in it and make the ball heavier? Is the aerodynamic the same for long distance shots? Really want to try it.
I have the same interest for the aerodynamics too.
Probably fine indoors, but I could definitely see wind blowing on the inside if playing outdoors
How does it travel through the air for a shot vs a traditional ball? It doesn't have that great thud that basketballs have.
It doesnt seem as heavy as a normal one too
@@Illuminati_HDsame weight as standard nba ball and I would assume the holes help flight like a golf ball

It travels trough the Air Like a normal ball because the grid is shifted maybe
Has anyone seen the ball actually being used to shoot?
What if it cracks or kids leave it outside ? How durable is it to weather and is there a guarantee replacement if it gets cracked
These basketballs ain’t gonna be for kids 😂
So it streatches and springs, might be able to make it have more kinetic energy while in the motion of being bounced. ;)

I wonder what it feels like?
Looks great. Would love to test it as well
Makes handling slightly easier as well
Just think even if it bounces the same when you throw it or shoot it it won’t have the same wind resistance because it has holes. It’s too different
The holes can mimic the air resistance if they are properly placed and aligned
it cant.thats why you have never seen anyone shoot with it
@@azothe1996 you dont understand how air resistance works
it sounds extremely hard when hitting the ground.
And because he never just bounced it normally or ACTUALLY showcased the ball.

I could see it as a practice ball for when your stuck at home
Imagine your hand sweating on this😢
😂😂
It doesn't have the spring to do quick speed dribbles

The sound of it bouncing in different
Uhm because it isn't hollow like the traditional basket balls
doesn't it increases the number of injuries caused by attrition ?
looks very cool
Wow im so glad that the cgi team from she-hulk is working on another awesome project
>>> Insert Captain America
HOW ARE FANS SUPPOSED TO GET AUTOGRAPHS?!?!????
What's next an airless tire? 🤔
U late af them shits been out for years lol
Trying to fix problems were there using any…
Suggestions:
1) Balloon inside the ball that prevents entry of dust and solid particles.
2) Or design the holes that allow one-way going outside while maintaining internal air pressure.
3) Accessory vacuum cleaner equipment that cleans up the insides of the ball.
I want one
sounds wrong
what's the weight?
The weight matches the curent NBA ball
I want to know how does this make the experience of playing basketball better? Seems like an over the top expensive niche product. I don’t see how this propels the game forward. There was no visual of a shot actually being taken just bouncing a round object off the ground. Not overly impressed.
What's the point? Did anyone ask for an airless ball?
i think it’s just more convenient and affordable
clack clack clack clack
RELEASE IT NOWWWWW ILL BUY IT FOR 200$
They gave the basketball a silencer..
Needs to be made thicker & heavier. I heard it throws like a wiffleball...
can’t wait to buy it
Whoever is in charge of making these fake ass comments for Wilson plz make a suggestion to show real fucking footage in any of your videos of this piece of dogshit
@@dmoke4899 bro i’m dead serious, i can’t wait to buy it fym fake ass comment
Why CGI
it probably shoots like a regular ball or else their would be no point in making this
Play outside and get rocks stuck in it
sounds like mouse clicks

Lol 😆. But, you do know that with air pressure, comes increased air volume right?
Volume only depends on the radius of the ball (4/3 πr3). It does change is the amount of substance, i.e. number of molecules inside the ball (ideal gas law).

You guys are over thinking it. The fact you don't need to put air in the ball. Fits the bill "airless"
@@jacobd1787 Obviously we're overthinking it, that's the fun bit 😄 None of us are actually confused about why it's called what it is!
It sounds so off
sound is terrible. also how you gonna clean it?
This will never be a thing
Wow. Very not descriptive. Thanks for nothing.
