Product Information
Full details
The Wilson Evo NXT Basketball is designed for long-range shooters seeking an edge with an optimally balanced internal construction and unparalleled grip. Its key benefit lies in its Extended Range Tech, which redistributes weight for easier long-distance shots, enhanced by a Micro-Touch Cover and a super soft core for superior feel and control. A potential caveat for some users might be its specialized design, which prioritizes shooting mechanics over all-around play.

FAQs
What makes the Evo NXT good for long-range shooting?
The Extended Range Tech redistributes the ball's weight internally, making it easier to shoot from farther distances while maintaining proper form.
How does the Micro-Touch Cover benefit players?
The Micro-Touch Cover provides an exceptional grip and feel, allowing for more precise control during dribbling, passing, and shooting.
Is this ball suitable for outdoor courts?
Yes, the Evo NXT is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, though prolonged outdoor play may lead to faster wear on the cover.
What is the advantage of the super soft core?
The patented super soft core enhances the ball's softness, providing a comfortable feel and supporting extended range shooting.
How should I inflate the Wilson Evo NXT?
Inflate the ball to the recommended PSI (usually printed on the ball) using a standard needle pump. Lubricate the needle before insertion.
How do I clean the basketball?
Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to protect the surface.
What is the warranty period for this basketball?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Ball not holding air
Check the inflation valve for any debris or damage. Ensure the inflation needle is properly inserted when inflating. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Surface feels too slick initially
The Micro-Touch Cover may require a short break-in period. Play with the ball for a few sessions to allow the surface to reach its optimal grip level.
Uneven bounce
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct PSI. Check for any visible damage or deformities on the ball's surface. If the bounce remains uneven, the internal construction may be compromised.
Bright optics fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade the color. Clean the ball gently as recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Wilson Evo NXT Basketball typically arrives slightly deflated. Inflate the ball to the recommended PSI, usually found printed on the ball itself, using a standard needle pump. Ensure the needle is lubricated to prevent damage to the inflation valve.
Compatibility: This basketball is designed for indoor and outdoor court use. It is compatible with standard basketball hoops and nets.
Care: To maintain the ball's performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the Micro-Touch Cover.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Proper storage helps preserve the ball's shape and material integrity.
- Inflation: Periodically check the inflation level and re-inflate as necessary to maintain optimal performance. Over-inflation or under-inflation can negatively impact handling and bounce.
