It's some microfiber composite material that's supposed to give better grip. It does provide better grip, but people say it's weird to shoot with because of how much it sticks to your hand. Also, when it gets wet with sweat, it becomes very slippery.

I just think of microfiber towels, and how much those stick to my hand when I'm cleaning my windows...and I don't think that would feel too good on a basketball.

The new NBA ball feels similar to the ones that are used in most NCAA games (composite).....IMHO, while completely different from the old style NBA ball, it is a very good ball.
