Product Information
Full details
The Hy-pro Team Series Basketball is an ideal choice for players of all skill levels, from beginners practicing in their driveway to competitive players training on indoor courts. Featuring a resilient rubber construction and a specialized pimpled surface, this ball provides exceptional grip and consistent bounce; however, users should note that while it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, frequent play on rough asphalt may accelerate exterior wear compared to indoor-only surfaces.

FAQs
Is this a regulation-size basketball?
Yes, this is a size 7 basketball, which is the official standard for men's basketball.
Can I use this basketball on concrete?
Yes, the durable rubber construction is designed to withstand use on outdoor surfaces like concrete and asphalt.
Does the ball come inflated?
The basketball is typically shipped deflated to ensure safe transport. You will need a pump to inflate it before use.
How do I maintain the grip?
Keep the ball clean by wiping off dirt after outdoor sessions and storing it in a temperature-controlled environment.
What is the best way to inflate the ball?
Use a standard basketball needle and pump. Insert the needle straight into the valve to avoid damaging the internal bladder.
Troubleshooting
Ball loses air quickly
Ensure the inflation needle is not damaged. If the issue persists, the internal bladder valve may need a light coating of valve lubricant to create a better seal.
Surface feels slippery
Dust and debris can accumulate in the pimples. Wipe the surface with a clean, slightly damp towel to restore the grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile design suitable for indoor and outdoor courts
- High-traction grip for better handling

- Durable enough for regular, heavy-duty use
Cons
- Rubber material may feel harder than synthetic leather options
- Outdoor use on abrasive surfaces will show cosmetic wear
- Requires an inflation pump not included in the package
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your basketball, use a standard ball pump with a needle attachment, taking care to moisten the needle with water or glycerin to protect the valve. Store the ball in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can degrade rubber compounds over time. While the ball is designed for mixed-surface use, cleaning it periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap will remove dust and debris that can fill in the pimpled texture and reduce grip over time.
