Other materials of basketball leather:

1, ZK superfine fiber: a synthetic material. Compared with natural leather, it has the advantages of delicate feel, sweat absorption and anti-slip, wear resistance and mildew resistance, and easy maintenance. Basketball made of it is usually used by professional teams for training and competition.

2、? Microfiber cowhide: Made of cowhide, this basketball material emphasizes controlling the touch of the ball. The skin is not sticky when it meets sweat, and its elasticity is soft and moderate, which is easy to control. But the price is relatively high, and it is not easy to maintain, which is more suitable for indoor venues.

3、? Absorbent skin: There are mainly two kinds in the market: one is called domestic moisture absorption, and the other is called imported moisture absorption, but it is indeed softer than ordinary moisture absorption in hand. The biggest advantage of absorbent leather is that it can absorb sweat when playing, and it feels quite soft. The disadvantage is that it is not wear-resistant, suitable for indoor use, and its price is slightly higher than that of PU material.
