FAQs
What size is this basketball?
The Wilson ACB Outdoor Basketball comes in various sizes, including standard adult sizes like Size 7 (29.5 inches). Please check the specific product listing for the size available.
Can I use this basketball indoors?
While it can be used indoors in a pinch, this basketball is designed and optimized for outdoor courts. Using it indoors on hardwood may cause scuff marks and accelerated wear on the ball's surface.
How should I clean the basketball?
Clean the basketball by wiping it with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using soap or harsh cleaning agents.
What is the best way to store the basketball?
Store the basketball in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is properly inflated but not over-inflated.
How long does the rubber construction typically last?
The high-quality rubber construction is designed for durability on outdoor courts. With proper care and regular cleaning, it can provide many hours of play, though its lifespan will depend on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as the abrasiveness of the playing surface.
Does the ball come inflated?
The basketball typically ships deflated to save on shipping costs and prevent damage. You will need a standard basketball pump and needle to inflate it to the desired pressure.
Troubleshooting
Ball loses air quickly
Check the inflation needle port for any damage or debris. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and firmly. If the problem persists, the bladder may have a leak and the ball may need replacement.
Grip feels slippery or worn
Clean the ball thoroughly with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. For outdoor courts, dirt and grime can reduce grip over time. Avoid using excessive moisture.
Uneven bounce
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. An uneven bounce can be caused by under-inflation or internal damage. If reinflating does not help, the ball may be damaged internally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Wilson ACB Outdoor Basketball arrives inflated and ready for play. Ensure it is properly inflated to the recommended pressure (typically indicated on the ball itself or in its product details) before first use. Use a standard basketball needle and pump.
Compatibility: This basketball is designed specifically for outdoor court surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and rubberized outdoor courts. It is not recommended for indoor hardwood courts as it may leave marks or wear down more quickly.
Care: To maintain the ball's performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. Proper storage helps prevent the rubber from drying out or cracking.
- Inflation: Check inflation periodically. If the ball feels soft, reinflate it to the recommended pressure. Do not over-inflate.
