4500 Premium Composite Basketball

The new FIBA Approved BG4500 delivers twice the surface area in contact with your hand. Premium composite leather and a foamed rubber construction on Molten's 12-panel Giugiaro design too.. The new surface texture gives the ball an optimum grip over traditional pebble grip basketballs, even when in contact with sweat or moisture.. The Original Leather Texture Surface area in contact with the hand is wider by 95% compared to that of conventional pebble surfaces for better grip.. The ball has been given an additional "foamed" layer when compared to previous models, making the ball softer and easier to control. The surface texture depth creates an ideal sweat wiping effect, allowing optimal grip even in that sweaty fourth quarter!. A 25% reduction in logo size, resulting in a larger area of grip on the surface of the ball.. The BG4500 is used by the BBL, WBBL, Basketball Scotland and Basketball Ireland as their official game ball.
