Buying Guide For Basketballs

We spend many hours trying to design new buying guides for all of our range of Sports balls. We have been working on many different projects of late but, none of us have written a guide for Basketballs as good as this one. http://hubpages.com/hub/Basketballs-A-Buyers-Guide Check it out and leave a comment, it would be good to know how you decide which Basketball, to purchase. We have had many a discussion in the Sportsballshop offices whether it is Brand, Price, Colour, Size or design, that really is the deciding factor. The way I decide which Basketballs to buy, is usually in the following order:-

1. Brand
2. Match or Training Ball (type of ball)
3. Colour
4. Size
5. Price.

You may be different, in what order is your preference? Do you prefer to order online or from a specialist retail shop?
