FAQs
What is the recommended inflation pressure for this basketball?
While not explicitly stated, typical recommendations for a Size 7 rubber basketball are between 7-9 PSI. Always refer to any markings on the ball itself for specific guidance. Avoid over-inflation.
Can this basketball be used outdoors?
Yes, the durable rubber construction is suitable for outdoor play on surfaces like asphalt or concrete, as well as indoor courts.
What does 'supplied deflated' mean?
It means the basketball will arrive flat and requires you to inflate it using a basketball pump and needle before you can use it.
How do I clean the basketball?
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface. For tougher dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the difference between brand sizes and standard sizes?

Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate properly
Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted into the valve and that the needle is not blocked. Check if the ball is sufficiently moist before inserting the needle. If the valve is damaged, contact customer support.
Ball feels too hard or too soft
Check the ball's recommended PSI marking and adjust inflation accordingly using a pressure gauge if available. Over-inflation can make it too hard, while under-inflation leads to a soft feel and poor bounce.
Uneven bounce
Ensure the ball is inflated evenly. Check for any debris stuck in the valve that might be affecting air pressure. If the issue persists, the internal bladder may be damaged.
Surface scuffs or marks quickly
This is common with rubber basketballs, especially on rough outdoor courts. Clean regularly and consider using the ball primarily on smoother surfaces if pristine appearance is critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Inflation: Upon receiving the ball, it will be deflated. You will need a standard basketball pump with a needle adapter to inflate it to the recommended pressure. Check the ball's recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) marking, usually found near the inflation valve.
Needle Insertion: Moisten the inflation needle before inserting it into the valve to prevent damage to the valve seal.
Compatibility:
This is a standard Size 7 basketball, compatible with official rules and regulations for men's and most boys' (13+) competitive play. It is designed for use on basketball courts, including indoor wooden courts and outdoor asphalt or concrete surfaces.
Care:
Cleaning: Clean the ball with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the rubber surface. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then wipe dry.
Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures when not in use. Proper storage helps maintain its shape and material integrity.
Avoid Over-Inflation: Do not over-inflate the ball, as this can lead to premature wear or damage to the internal structure.
