FAQs
Does this ball work on outdoor courts?
No, this ball is designed exclusively for indoor use. Outdoor surfaces like asphalt or concrete will rapidly degrade the foam material.
Do I need a special pump to inflate it?
No, any standard basketball air pump with a needle attachment will work fine.
Is this ball the same size as a standard basketball?
The Midwest Silent Foam Basketball follows standard sizing dimensions to ensure a realistic practice experience.
Will this ball mark up my indoor floors?
No, the high-density foam material is non-marking and safe for use on most indoor flooring, including hardwood and tile.
How do I clean the ball?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust. Do not submerge the ball in water or use harsh detergents.
Troubleshooting
The ball is not bouncing correctly
Check the air pressure. It may require additional inflation to reach the optimal density for a consistent bounce.
Needle is difficult to insert
Moisten the needle tip with a small amount of water or silicone-based lubricant before attempting to insert it into the valve.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a standard ball pump with a needle attachment. Insert the needle into the valve carefully to inflate the ball to your desired firmness. Do not over-inflate, as this can strain the internal structure of the foam. For care, store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from becoming brittle. If the ball collects dust or dirt, wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the integrity of the foam material.
