Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your basketball, you will need a standard needle-style ball pump. Because the ball is shipped deflated, insert the needle gently into the inflation valve, ensuring it is lubricated if necessary to avoid damaging the internal bladder. Inflate until the ball reaches the recommended PSI listed near the valve. For long-term care, store the ball in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber degradation. If you play on outdoor surfaces, wipe the ball down with a damp cloth after use to remove grit and maintain the integrity of the pebbled surface.
