Additional Information

• Basketball sizes vary by age, gender, and level of play.
• The official size of the basketball used by the NBA is 29.5 inches (size 7) in circumference.
• That's the same size used throughout men's college and high school basketball leagues.
• The WNBA uses a slightly smaller ball, measuring 28.5 (size 6) inches in circumference.
• For international play, specifically FIBA, the basketball used is what's called a Molten GL7 for men and Molten GL6 for women.
• These basketballs typically feature two different colours and are slightly bigger, with a 30.7-inch circumference for the men's ball and a 29-inch circumference for the women's.
• Boys in middle school (or ages 12-14), use a 28.5-inch ball (size 6), as do all women and girls ages 12 and up. For anyone, male or female, between the ages of nine and 11, a ball size of 27.5 (size 5) inches in circumference is recommended and is the most commonly sized ball used in youth basketball leagues.
• Boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 8 use a basketball between the sizes of 22 inches and 24.5 inches in circumference, depending on the individual's hand size, which can be determined by a coach or parent by measuring from the bottom of the individual's palm to the tip of his or her middle finger.
• An NBA basketball must be inflated to a pressure of 7.5 to 8.5 PSI. The WNBA uses the same pressure regulations.
• In the NCAA, inflation requirements are given in weight, with the men's ball having a maximum weight of 22 ounces and the women's ball having a maximum weight of 20 ounces.
• In FIBA play, the official rules state that the ball "be inflated to an air pressure such that, when it is dropped onto the playing floor from a height of approximately 1,800 mm measured from the bottom of the ball, it will rebound to a height of between 1,200 mm and 1,400 mm, measured to the top of the ball."

  After playing with the Wilson Evolution basketball a few times post lockdown, I love the feel of this ball. Great texture and grip. This ball is a delight to shoot with too. All in all the best ball for indoor match play atm.

  Superb price and the ability to select the colour is a great option to individualise your chosen ball.

• 5 out of 5 Excellent

  Newitts Verified Purchase (4 Jun 2019)

  The ball is really good, easy to grip, good feel and bounce. Appears to be well made (time will tell). Delivery was prompt and the ball came partially inflated which avoids getting creases in the material. Never had a ball delivered like this before and this was a welcome bonus.

• 5 out of 5 Great game ball

  Newitts Verified Purchase (18 Apr 2018)

  So far been very pleased with this ball. So much so our league has started using it for games rather than their existing balls. Which is great for us to get to warm up with the game ball!
