Well, i guess the production and bill for amortization (aka fixing/changing machines to new ones) are expensive, so to make some profit the cost is crazy? But idk.
Same thing with the vision pro. But its the first generation, they will be improved and will ne cheaper in the future. We just gotta have some patience
do you have any idea on how impressive the hardware of the Vision Pro is? just 2 years ago the closest you could get to that was an 8000 dollar, enterprise only VARJO headset that you also needed to pay a yearly subscription for
Not to be that guy, but based on the patents and almost a decade of development the Vision Pro had to go through 4000 is expensive yes, but not overpriced. This is also part of apples whole mastermind plan. This doesn't mean anything to me anyways though because I use Android.
@@SaymeeYTyeah maybe if you bought 3 2 entire new spools for one ball. The material cost for this ball is probably around 10 dollars at the absolute most
I gotchu. A new technological advancement usually requires years of research and development at a 500k minimum. I wouldn't be surprised if it costed them over 1 mil to development costs. At this point in time, mass production can't be an option because the QC would be a huge issue. So every ball is proprietary. Furthermore, this is obviously not marketed as a household item for general public like you or me. There is a special target market for these which are for enthusiasts who have the money and are interested in the engineering marvel.
i acrually high key wanna see how how these are made. i know its 3d printing but theres deffo some crazy stuff going on to get these balls to bounce the right way and function like a normal ball
You guys don't see the big picture. These brands don't care about the money they'll make from those 200 balls. They're literally getting millions in free advertisements from every corner of the internet. Just like Apple Vision Pro's sale strategy, by the time they make a cheap alternative for the public, everyone will know about it.
It's probably way lighter than a normal, regulation leather ball so adjusting your shot back and forth between this and a normal ball might make you regress
iirc they were asked to develop this since basketballs could perform differently at different altitudes and local ambient pressures. So in theory this would feel slightly different then any basketball any of us have touched and this is supposed to be what a regulation basketball should feel like
@@2600_Josh yal be crazy like AI cant use a video to create dimensions for it, and figure out what materials will and wont work. This shit will be 25bucks anyway 1 month after release from some foreign country.
No, the reason why they charge so much is because it's all about mass marketing to introduce a new product to the general consumer public. That way they ease people into accepting the product , build a hype and demand. Then sell them for 80 to 100 bucks in every sporting goods section in America. That's all it's about.
One thing ive saw absolutely no one point out is the plastic after a long time is it gonna start warming and changing shape? Cause it is plastic after all and when plastic bends and stuff which it probably does on contact when it bounces, it tends to start to warp and stuff. Idk just seems like 1 of many possibilities with this nasty ass ball.
How to make the public love airless basketball? - make it bounce like a regular basketball Why they don't? - shooting passing is a different thing - make it expensive... - harder to make
For most people, 2500 is not a reasonable price. THat said, it's not surprising that the first version of a technology is not reasonably priced for people to use, since that is usually not the case. If you do'nt want to buy it at 2500, what difference does it make to you if it's expensive or not available?
They literally only made it so they can patent the ball and have it as the official NBA ball meaning now if you want an official NBA ball you can only buy from wilson
2500 is cheap for an innovative basketball they shouldve did a few more to compensate for the time spent but still a nice idea wish i could buy one right now lmao
List of things that you should buy for 2500 that aren't a expensive basketball, A high end gaming setup About 85 blahaj About 180 regular wilson basketballs
I'd like one but most I'm more realistically able to afford one of the ones that don't make a noise when you bounce it lol. Could you imagine watching the NBA with out the ball making a noise? Lol
Understandable, but 2500$ is still crazy

Absolutely
Nobody:
Mr Beast's girl: "If you're lucky enought to get your hands on one of these balls" 😭💀😭💀😭
Professional players hated it, stating it didn't feel right on the court, and it didn't bounce as well when spun

"If you will have your hands on one of these balls"💀
I wonder if the Seams are replicated on the airless ball as well. I can’t imagine it would have the same grip as a normal basketball.
We got airless basketballs before GTA 6

im gonna 3d print that

It's actually not something special, it's just one the two types of the TPU materials that EOS sells for their 3D printers.
Just because it bounces correctly doesn’t mean they got the function right. This thing requires more force to shoot
The wind is just going to pull in a different direction when your outside

China will make them for $5 and sell is for like $50
A saying comes to mind: If it ain't broke don't fix it.
This is just a rich man version of a basketball 10 years a poor man’s version
I worked on a project with these and it was so cool Additive manufacturing was a cool industry will never go back to it😂
Wilson and Apple are the same. Creating solutions to nonexistent problems…
*Good luck getting all the pebbles out.*
RIP to your hands when Little Rock’s start filling the spaces in between
Nah, basketball pros and tech nerds finna buy em all before they even go on sale
It's probably way lighter than a normal, regulation leather ball so adjusting your shot back and forth between this and a normal ball might make you regress
I’m seeing everyone dribble this except nba players giving there honest review
Temu taking notes rn
Temu finna go crazy
Wow they somehow manage to create exclusivity around something nobody ever wanted.
Let's just wait until the Chinese get their hands on one of these. It would be so much cheaper 😂😂

Wilson: "if they pay $4,000+ for shoes, they would definitely pay $2500 for a ball"
They call it airless, but it still has air in it lmao
You can get them in black, normal, or brown.
They didn’t make this for fans .. they made it for press
I have often said to myself that the biggest problem with basketball is the basketballs.
The reason they had to make it so expensive: Corporate Greed
That whole video sounded sus
This is the most NBA thing ever.
Whatever material its made of gotta be stiff af to not bend inwards but still be able to bounce right
TPU printed with SLS printers from EOS
Lmao 3d printing go hard its a shame that i cant make one at home wait i can
It’s made of a certain material using explosive custom printers and the 3d files aren’t available to download

That ball costs a apple vision pro 💀
It looks exactly like a big ass racket ball with a bunch of holes in it. And it’s already looking like it cracked 😂
That black ball is cracked bro...
About halfway through the clip, when he holds the ball close to the camera, you can see that the ball is already cracking near the Wilson logo.
I’ve used this ball at the allstar weekend and it was so slick I couldn’t even palm the ball

already seeing some people print their own (somewhat accurate) versions of these... very interesting indeed.
Just wait a year tops and they’ll be like 100, still seems expensive but you don’t have to buy a air pump or get a new one as often

But if you order it off temu then it will be 62 cents 😂
😂
Mostly because they don't pay their workers.
Waiting for tge china clone that costs 2500cents 😂
Why don't they just put leather over top so it at least looks and feels like a normal ball? Or would that just not work?
mr beast: oh wow this is pretty cheap
Elon musk: stuff under 10k still exist?
the price will probably go down to like 200 after some time all expirimental products are crazy expensive when theyre new and hard to make.
it's pointless because of air resistance, a ball full of holes like this will travel very differently in the air
Is no one talking about the fact that the ball is waaay lighter than a regular one, thus making it forever unusable for official basketball?

I want it because I can have one ball for indoor and outdoor, and to dribble inside my house without it being loud.

See there are neighborhood "courts" that would benefit from not having to suffer the dribbling sound constantly
You can’t seriously be complaining about noise coming from bouncing basketballs 😂

It’s probably only temporary until they begin mass production

Can you dribble with it just as well? The sound might have something to do with knowing where the ball is when we don't have eyes on it.
