Wilson Evolution Basketball - Multi

While it can be used outdoors, the Wilson Evolution is primarily designed and optimized for indoor court surfaces. Regular outdoor use, especially on abrasive surfaces like asphalt, can accelerate wear and tear on the premium composite cover, reducing its lifespan and grip quality.

A Size 7 basketball is the official size for men's professional and college basketball. It has a circumference of 29.5 inches (74.9 cm) and weighs 22 oz (623.7 grams). It is recommended for male players aged 16 and older.

It's a good practice to check your basketball's pressure before each use, or at least weekly, as balls naturally lose a small amount of air over time. Maintain the pressure within the recommended PSI (usually 7-9 PSI) for optimal performance.

The Cushion Core Carcass is an internal component of the basketball that creates a softer, more forgiving feel upon impact. This construction makes the ball easier to grip, shoot, and control, enhancing overall player comfort and performance.

To clean, simply wipe the ball with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt or grime, you can use a small amount of mild soap with the damp cloth. Ensure all soap residue is removed and allow the ball to air dry completely before storage or use. Do not submerge the ball in water or use harsh chemicals.

The superior grip of the Wilson Evolution comes from a combination of its `Evo Microfiber Composite` cover, which provides an ideal tackiness, and its `Moisture-Wicking` properties that help keep the surface dry and consistent even with sweaty hands. The `Laid In Composite Channels` also contribute by providing extra contact points for your fingertips.

Check the inflation valve for leaks by applying a small amount of soapy water; look for bubbles. If bubbles appear, the valve might be faulty. Inspect the ball's surface for any visible punctures or tears. If no external damage, ensure the needle is properly inserted during inflation without damaging the valve.

This can happen from accumulated dirt, sweat, or oils. Clean the ball thoroughly with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe off all soap residue and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Use a ball pump with a pressure gauge to check the PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). Adjust the inflation to the recommended pressure printed near the ball's valve, typically 7-9 PSI. Over-inflation can make the ball hard; under-inflation makes it soft.

Ensure the ball is correctly inflated to the recommended PSI. An uneven bounce can also be a sign of a manufacturing defect or internal damage. If inflation is correct and the issue persists, contact Wilson customer support.
