The main factor to consider when choosing the cover material of the basketball is whether you will be using the ball indoors or outdoors. The following information will help explain the differences:

Full grain leather - This type of ball is the top of the line. However, it should only be used for indoor play. Leather balls are also more expensive than synthetic or rubber covered balls.

Synthetic leather - This cover has the feel of leather, but with greater durability. This type of ball can be used indoors and outdoors, and it's less expensive than a full grain leather ball.

Rubber - A rubber covered ball is both inexpensive and durable. The bounce of a rubber ball is different than that of a leather ball, but it's a favorite for outdoor courts due to its durability.
