I'm considering getting a full-size ball, my hands are just big enough to hold it and throw it properly

does anybody have any experience with balls?

I have three in mind, the NCAA Supreme which is in a blue box and costs $25.

the problem with it is that i can barely grip it, its so slippery, its made out of this cheap rubber thing. even thoguh the ball says composite leather

theres also a NCAA one, which also has supreme on the side but its in a gold box which says "Tackified Composite" and its $75.

i can grip that pretty well

and theres "The Duke" ball, leather, apparantly, and it fells really good in my hands, very easy to hold and grip $150. but i read on the back that sometimes the tack of the leather needs to be rejuvianted with a ball brush. so that got me worried that the leather will wear down and ill end up with a ball that is completely bald and ungrippable

i did some research and the people on amazon who bought some said the duke was slippery, but i didn't see that at all. i thiought iw as very grippy. much better than the cheapo ball

does anybody have any experince with these kinds of leather balls?

and what do those white stripes do? the surface is very slippery on those white stripes
