I flipped a coin two years ago and got the Evolution instead of the TF-1000. Have always wondered if I made the right choice so I just got the TF-1000 as well.
Pros: feels great in the hand, wants to go into the hoop, hey, sounds great when bouncing off the hardwood!
Cons: doesn't bounce as consistently true as the Evolution.
Differences in the two: yeah, my Evolution feels "spongy" but I like "spongy". The TF-1000 feels hard in comparison, but not bad, just real different. The channels almost feel sharp. I, like most of you, never look at the ball when I'm dribbling and the TF-1000 wants to get away from me on occasion, not all the time like cheap balls. The Evolution always comes straight back up into my palm, every time. If I didn't switch balls for comparison I wouldn't know, but I have to say I prefer my Evolution for bomb-proof dribbling.
Both feel great coming off my fingertips, both want to go into the hoop. Both feel like real basketballs, the kind you'd only choose for games. If I had to choose I'd take my Evolution, but really it's a tossup.
edit: I just got back from the gym where I shot with both balls with 4 other guys. Three of them eventually preferred the Evolution, but they all loved the TF-1000 when they first handled it. Go figure.Get more detail about Spalding TF-1000 ZK Official Size Basketball.
