Some of the better basketballs include Wilson, Spalding and Nocturne.
1. Wilson
Wilson is a well-known sporting goods manufacturer in the United States. It not only does basketball well, but also tennis rackets, footballs, and badmintons. Wilson basketball has its own masterpieces in both high and low-end basketballs. It continuously integrates patented technology into basketball production and strives to improve the quality and feel. It has won the favor of many basketball enthusiasts. Its basketballs are also called high-tech basketballs.
2. Spalding
As a former NBA game ball, Spalding basketball is the most famous and the best-selling ball. However, the price/performance ratio of basketballs at the same price is lower than Wilson and Moten.
3. Molten
Molten is a Japanese brand known for its durability. Molten's professional basketballs are used in many intercontinental competitions, international competitions, and the Olympic Games, but their popularity is relatively low. Molten's high-end balls are produced in a factory in Thailand, while low-end balls are produced in Sihong, Jiangsu. Molten basketballs all have 12 pieces of skin.
Tips for choosing basketball
1. Silk wrapping
Branded basketballs only use basketball-specific nylon yarn with very good flexibility and use precise special basketball wrapping yarn. The machine winds evenly and the length can reach 2 kilometers, making the basketball bounce more textured, making the ball flight and rotation more stable and accurate when shooting, and making the basketball stronger and not deformed.
2. Skin
High-quality basketballs are made of leather provided by professional manufacturers.
3. Liner
Big brands use imported rubber, which is the same material as the inner liner of high-end car tires. It is processed through strict patented technology and has soft and stable bounce. It is the inner source of the delicate feel of high-quality basketball, and good feel will of course bring good self-confidence.
4. Texture
The most important criterion for distinguishing the quality of a basketball is undoubtedly the material of the basketball. Because the material of the basketball determines the feel of our playing ball, it also partly affects the "bounce" of the basketball. The surface of a good basketball will feel a little elastic to the touch, and the rubber-like leather will feel a little sticky to ensure that it will not slip when catching the ball.
