A Basketball That Stays Hard for 365 Days

With Spalding's Never-Flat Basketball, you can slam dunk for 365 days straight (8,760 continuous hours) without ever having to fill it back up with air.

That's because the Neverflat basketball, has proprietary pressure retention technology, which makes it the only ball guaranteed to stay fully inflated for at least one year.

According to Spalding, the new basketball has a new membrane technology that tightens the natural pores in the ball's bladder, thus improving pressure retention. (I think my grandma could use that technology herself).

In addition, it's got "NitroFlate molecules" injected into it, providing another layer of leak-blocking protection.

The new ball has a suggested retail price of $39.99, hits store shelves mid November.

Now, if only someone would invent a silent basketball for certain areas, I could sleep better. jim
