First, the original packaging of a single genuine Spalding (rubber balls are packed in plastic bags) is plastic packaging, and soft plastic film is used, which is more flexible. If there is no plastic film packaging, it is a fake ball. Don't trust any factory goods or export balls.

Second, now all genuine Spalding have anti-counterfeiting elevators, and those without elevators are fake balls, 100% fake balls. Some sellers will find some reasons to explain why there is no identity elevator, remember that it is a lie. No elevator is a fake ball, no doubt. The security code is 16 bits, which can be verified in official website. If the verification code is incorrect, then this card is a fake card. Third, the middle tires of Spalding basketball with black ribs are all made by ourselves, and they are all raw rubber. There is a film (glue) on the surface of the black rib, which is smooth, detailed and textured. The "Spalding" sign (G in the middle of one side and S in the middle of the other side) at the intersection of black ribs is prominent, with strong three-dimensional sense and obvious curvature; However, the manufacturing process of fake tire is different, the tire surface is rough, mostly frosted, and Spalding has no curvature.
