It actually bounces the same height as the standard basketball. It drops faster though because it has more surface area to weight ratio, so the drag affects it more. The difference is negligible at low drop heights though, which is a great thing, however it’s bad for shots. Seasoned players might have to readjust to its feel.
Im not sure but if some has the 3d print details im pretty sure you can print it for free. Maybe the material they print it with the special im not too sure.
I don’t think this is printed on a regular-ish 3d printer within a $2000-$3000 price range, that people could afford. And even the material used, maybe it’s not any of the TPUs that are currently available on the market for everyone. Otherwise, I don’t think this ball would have cost this much.
you’re getting the 3d printer nerds here (myself included) depending what the demographic needed for the printer is designed for they can be as low as £160 but it wouldn’t be able to print something like that you’re looking at the lowest end possible maybe in the £450-£600 range depending on the size and speed and filiment needs ect like encloser you might be able to do it but it is not worth £2,500 my top estimate would be between £35-£50 depending on supports and filiment and electricity ect

No. The question is “why?” More unnecessary technology. Why you always gotta fix stuff that ain’t broken? Nothing wrong with or needed to be improved on a basketball
The thing is it can never be exact. The makeup of the ball is SO different that it can never be close. It can only ever be just just JUST close enough to be used professionally. Throwing the ball further than a couple of meters will show differences in the aerodynamics like a golf ball has dimples.
@@2KOOLURATOOLGaming you are very incorrect, the makeup of them is completely irrelevant. You can have two balls of different materials have the exact same properties, especially since air pumping is a feature. Also incorrect about the aerodynamics. Throwing it long distance like hundreds of meters will probably show some difference but short distances won’t have any issue since the effect of the air will be negligible because of the weight and subsequent inertia.
@@Jasoncooldudeit’s not about the weight of the air inside mate - it’s about the surface. Cars aren’t shaped like walls, are they? They’re designed like fish…. a wall can’t move 70mph very easily even if it’s the weight of a car

@@Ma5jay5dontxdoxthatthe players hate it, so it wont. kids will continue to grow up with the current style, and the nba will continue to not make their players relearn the sport just to use a different ball.
@@Green_Bean_Machine But they aren't relearning the whole sport. They're just getting used to the weight which a couple hours of training will fix because other than weight there isn't a difference anything else, even with it being a protype. It's happened before and currently does happen a lot in sports when things change. American football changed the bulkiness of the padding in the last few decades, and that change the amount of weight the players have to carry. European football changed the ball a few different times in two decades. All of these changes made the game more efficient for the players. If the end result of this proves to be more efficient and better for the NBA, they will end up switching, which will make more people use. it
If thats 3d printed and they used reasonably standard filament (pla, ptg, obv, etc) than that thing should cost like 10-20 dollars to make if there isn't a motor in there, this is excluding the design and upfront printer cost (printer is 2.5k to 5k for a reasonable non industrail printer), but still a 3d printer could make like 2-3 per day
well you can use those old basketball as weapon. This new balls kinda safe for kids. It just like softball hardball. Except in those case, you can really feels impact on stick
It would be difficult to apply it to suspension as I don't think you'd be able to get the same effect with a different, stronger material. Unless made out of an interlocking alloy mesh, even then it would probably take a few years of development. Though, then again, NASA have used similar designs with a much weaker metal for the puncture proof wheels on their rovers, so a stronger alloy could be feasible. But once again, including the metal rod that would have to be running down the middle, and considering you'd have to avoid buckling, so it would have to be an oval with a flat top and sides, and in the end it would take up more space and be less commercially available for repairs, and would cost way more. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And when it comes to springs a similar issue arises, and it would be way way easier to go beyond the point of plastic deformation than if you used a regular spring. The reason why regular springs are so effective is that the metal doesn't bend, it twists, and that is much less likely to cause as much strain as physically bending the metal like you would have to do with an interlocking metal mesh. This does seem like it would be an okay spring (assuming it's now in the shape of an oval with a flat top and bottom) for 3D printing projects as you would only need a rubberised filament to create. All in all I don't see a commercial application for a spring or suspension in this style.
I don't think so lol. Springs work by the potential energy in coiled springs, this thing has no internal potential energy and bounces via the surface tension of its shape being disrupted and turning back to its normal shape.
Have you ever been hit in the face by a basketball? Your face hurts so much that your face becomes completely numb and your teeth are ready for surgery. 😂😂😂😂😂

@@lesdiscretsIf it can get it, it can fall out just as easily. The real problem (aside from aerodynamics as mentioned) would probably be that the heft of it is all different. Not only would that exacerbate the aerodynamics problems, but would also throw off the players' muscle memory of how to handle a regular basketball.
@@ThePCguy17, that's simply not accurate. A sharp pebble, for example, would be forced into one of the holes with the force of the bounce, then it would be sticking out when it bounces back up and easily hurt your hand.

@@2KOOLURATOOLGaming you are very incorrect, the makeup of them is completely irrelevant. You can have two balls of different materials have the exact same properties, especially since air pumping is a feature.
Also incorrect about the aerodynamics. Throwing it long distance like hundreds of meters will probably show some difference but short distances won’t have any issue since the effect of the air will be negligible because of the weight and subsequent inertia.
@@Jasoncooldudeit’s not about the weight of the air inside mate - it’s about the surface. Cars aren’t shaped like walls, are they? They’re designed like fish…. a wall can’t move 70mph very easily even if it’s the weight of a car
Y’all talking about aerodynamics and I’m here thinking about its traction and grip.
U have to be blind 😂
Even tho it’s a cool concept, nothing can replace the OG ball sound while bouncing😌 plus no way $2500 💀
Imagine player with trypophobia’s use that ball
@beef_burgersI mean they have no reason but they can it’s perfectly legal
It would be great if you live in an apartment and want to be considerate to your neighbors. But for that price......yea NOPE
Well its 3d printed right if the material is available someone will make it cheap
You're paying for the R & D and because it's limited numbers.
I seriously felt my head wobble when that ball bounced and all I heard was 'tick'
This could be a solid product if the price comes down. As someone who grew up with a younger brother that would practice basketball in the driveway at midnight and would practice dribbling everywhere he went, this is something my parents would have loved to get him as a birthday gift assuming it wasn’t $2500.
I was NOT expecting that price 😂
RUclips asked me to rate your comment. I think someone reported it or something. Otherwise, why would they ask?
Very limited run of them. I'm sure they will eventually come out with one that is way cheaper.
@@BackYardScience2000yep someone reported it

I was thinking the same thing. They paid people to make this thing.
So the one, that will soon replace the old ones?

I actually like the smell of a new clean basketball. I hope this doesn’t change the formula for the original basketball in the future.
like driving a muscle car without the muscle..the sound of the bounce is what makes basketball interesting!
Marques is such a perfectionist. That loop is flawless lmao
It's even more elegant than looping in editing. He's basically saying the sentence "but it is an interesting idea, so you might've heard about..." and then he cuts this in half instead of trying the much more difficult route of trying to match the beginning and end. He's saying the beginning in the end of recording. That's slick.
@@kdmendonkIt's easy mode. Why wouldn't you do it like this? All you have to do is write the script and record the last sentence and then the intro in one. Don't need to be a perfectionist for this either.
@@blad... My comment is a compliment if that's not clear enough with "elegant" and "slick"

It's basically his outro is the intro.

Record the outro follow by the intro
Cut the intro part of the outro record
Put the cut intro from the outro on the beginning of the video as intro.

It seems like it could be more efficient than a normal ball, but that basketball sound is so iconic, I don't think anyone is going to use it
airless ball can now be effected by air flow. It's a neat ball, unique. But it can't be used for professional play.
Yeap NBA players hate this thing.
If it's more efficient , they will. Change does happen in sports, especially when it yields better results. I mean, that's what a lot of people said when they switched to short shorts to the current basketball shorts. It's just different which is why people don't like it, but again if the final results are better than the traditional ball, place will use it.
@@Ma5jay5dontxdoxthatthe players hate it, so it wont. kids will continue to grow up with the current style, and the nba will continue to not make their players relearn the sport just to use a different ball.
@@Green_Bean_Machine But they aren't relearning the whole sport. They're just getting used to the weight which a couple hours of training will fix because other than weight there isn't a difference anything else, even with it being a protype. It's happened before and currently does happen a lot in sports when things change. American football changed the bulkiness of the padding in the last few decades, and that change the amount of weight the players have to carry. European football changed the ball a few different times in two decades. All of these changes made the game more efficient for the players. If the end result of this proves to be more efficient and better for the NBA, they will end up switching, which will make more people use. it
If thats 3d printed and they used reasonably standard filament (pla, ptg, obv, etc) than that thing should cost like 10-20 dollars to make if there isn't a motor in there, this is excluding the design and upfront printer cost (printer is 2.5k to 5k for a reasonable non industrail printer), but still a 3d printer could make like 2-3 per day
well you can use those old basketball as weapon. This new balls kinda safe for kids. It just like softball hardball. Except in those case, you can really feels impact on stick
"Anyway, this thing is $2,500"
This had me in tears! The delivery is just so perfect 😭
all fun and games until the *"ANYWAYS THIS THING IS $2,500"* comes out
I was thinking about the price and I was like maybe $20, because way less materials and it's just a skeleton. I was just 150x off it seems.
@@fan8706 go look up the process of how they make it, its absolutely absurd lmao
@@fan8706it's just a placeholder price they put on the website until they actually put it into production.
Someone's gonna reverse engineer that and 3D print it at home...
$4.99 in materials once it gets hacked... then they won't be able to sell traditional bballs anymore. Killing their golden goose.
I always assumed that the sound was pretty important for the gameplay though I've probably only watched like two NBA games in my entire life
Great value for a dirt collector ball!
That's so quiet and it bounces so well, I bet there's some great application for this design in springs and suspensions
It would be difficult to apply it to suspension as I don't think you'd be able to get the same effect with a different, stronger material. Unless made out of an interlocking alloy mesh, even then it would probably take a few years of development. Though, then again, NASA have used similar designs with a much weaker metal for the puncture proof wheels on their rovers, so a stronger alloy could be feasible. But once again, including the metal rod that would have to be running down the middle, and considering you'd have to avoid buckling, so it would have to be an oval with a flat top and sides, and in the end it would take up more space and be less commercially available for repairs, and would cost way more. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And when it comes to springs a similar issue arises, and it would be way way easier to go beyond the point of plastic deformation than if you used a regular spring. The reason why regular springs are so effective is that the metal doesn't bend, it twists, and that is much less likely to cause as much strain as physically bending the metal like you would have to do with an interlocking metal mesh. This does seem like it would be an okay spring (assuming it's now in the shape of an oval with a flat top and bottom) for 3D printing projects as you would only need a rubberised filament to create. All in all I don't see a commercial application for a spring or suspension in this style.
That’s how they made the wheels on the old moon rovers, but with metal.
Good point. What about people that what to practice late at night but neighbors complain about the sound?
Seems like a solution!
@@roachmansupreme Wow. You seem to have some intense knowledge in this field. Can you tell me, are you like an engineer or something?
I don't think so lol. Springs work by the potential energy in coiled springs, this thing has no internal potential energy and bounces via the surface tension of its shape being disrupted and turning back to its normal shape.

In case we run out of air, we might use this one. Sweet !
Shooting it has to be a nightmare too. The aerodynamics would definitely take some getting used to
They solved a problem no one has. Congrats, Wilson.

Playing basketball with no noise is insane ngl. The bouncing sound is iconic and required.
After enough games played i imagine the edges of the holes can become rough, leading to cut fingers. Whereas the traditional ball gets smoother with age.
I actually hope the nba does some kind of charity event with this ball, just to test what it’s like for a full match
That'd definitely be a good All-Star weekend event.
So for the summer games and people dunk with this, would it be called a….summer slam?
Lmao I’ll leave now 😂
I think a certain company wouldnt give up that contract for making nba balls quite easily though 😢
@@user-mu1lh4op6q Except its the same company(Wilson) that makes the airless balls. Plus they could sell these airless balls for like 50x more ($2,500 vs like $50 or wtv)
Watching a game with that ball will be like watching a race of electric cars. Uneventful and undramatic.
I’ll 3d print one myself, thank you
how when the model download costs 2k?
@@DarkFlamesDarkness You can either just make your own or commision someone else for $100. I'm not sure if it uses a material that can be printed with a regular 3d printer though
Just Googled it...all the downloads are free...the one that seems the most legitimate/practically identical only costs 3$
Also I don't know whether the download itself costs 2500$ dollars, I'm pretty sure they're just manufacturing like 200~ physical versions of these and then selling then for that much each, some popular influencers get them for free probably?
Even If you have the model, it will just shatter or be unusable without the right material, could be used to trick some friends though

@@TFisthepointofthese the patent will have to describe the materials/processes used. And then it's open season.

Bounce may be the same but the airflow between the white one will create the bingo
“Well anyway this thing’s $2,500” hit me right in the funny bone 😂
The aerodynamic issues the airless ball would have must be astounding.
And so do the amount of dust, gravel(that maybe be stuck just to scratch your hand), stuff that will accumulate within time at its core!
@@lesdiscrets yeh I think anyone paying $2500 for a ball would probably only play with it inside
@@lesdiscretsIf it can get it, it can fall out just as easily. The real problem (aside from aerodynamics as mentioned) would probably be that the heft of it is all different. Not only would that exacerbate the aerodynamics problems, but would also throw off the players' muscle memory of how to handle a regular basketball.
@@ThePCguy17, that's simply not accurate. A sharp pebble, for example, would be forced into one of the holes with the force of the bounce, then it would be sticking out when it bounces back up and easily hurt your hand. Or, any object smaller than the holes will go all the way inside, where it will rattle around forever.
@@lesdiscrets"might scratch your hand" 💀
dont play basketball sugar you might break your manicure too 💅🏻
That much for something 3d printed is insane. I expected it to be like $20.. what's the point of 3d printing it if it's gonna be more expensive than the original product.
The sound is why I even will pick up a basketball, the sound was satisfying in a way. But they just take that away.
The quiet bounce would be a huge selling point for me if these came to market at a reasonable price. It would be amazing to run my dribbling drills in my basement without disturbing my neighbors.
What happened next?
What's the reasonable price
