Indoor/Outdoor basketballs are always a bit of a compromise, as is the case with Spalding Infusion.
The grip is pretty good but the ball surface cannot match indoor basketballs for the feel. This was however what I expected.
Having now used it on both indoor and outdoor surfaces, I have to say that it does the job - with some reservations.
Once pumped up, the ball bounces well when driven unlike many cheaper rubber balls which will often bounce too much, especially outdoors.
The built-in pump is a blessing and a curse. It is great for people like me who keep forgetting where they've put their ball pump, and it does work although progress with it is slow. Also, it seems that the ball loses some pressure fairly quickly and needs topping up every week.
While the manufacturer claims that the performance of the ball is unaffected by the presence of the pump, I found that this isn't quite true. The ball bounce sounds different indoors and I am assuming that the construction inside the ball has some damping effect on the ball bounce when bouncing freely. The bounce height decreases very quickly after the second bounce.
