While I certainly agree with Kelly's review. I will say this is the best leather hand sack on the market, but with that smooth texture does come a small issue. This Ball loves to slide! With such beautiful there is a little fiction issue. I deem this sack 5 stars with not doubt but this isn't the best for beginners players. I even have issues landing tricks after 15 plus years of play. It is a must for any enthusiasts of the game but with that BEAUTIFUL LEATHER FINISH, IT DOES HAVE ITS DRAW BACKS!
