And our rating is opened by a brand that produces high-quality German balls at an affordable price for any yard team. Designed for amateur matches and training, so it can withstand severe loads and is able to serve for several years. The surface is of high quality, provides a good grip and does not slip. Most of the brand's products are designed for universal use on the street and in the hall, so even a beginner will have no problems choosing.
The cost of brand basketballs is low - original models with eight or ten panels can be found for 1000-1500 rubles. At the same time, the quality does not suffer - there are durable models made of composite and synthetic leather, as well as polyurethane and rubber. DeepChannel technology improves ball handling and control in all game situations. And thanks to Grip Balance, the ball has a balanced grip both with hands and with the surface of the hall or court. The balls are certified by FIBA, which indicates full compliance with the standards.
4 wilson
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.7
World famous brand, one of the market leaders in the production of basketballs.Despite the popularity and the availability of official models for the NCAA and the Moscow Basketball League, you can buy the manufacturer's models at a not the highest price, especially in comparison with the leaders of our rating. The Solution model is especially popular. It is distinguished by a special coating that "can" absorb sweat from the palms of basketball players, which greatly facilitates the process of dribbling and controlling the ball during the match. However, other brand models can also be used - for example, Reaction.
The assortment includes a lot of both professional and amateur balls for the street or the hall. Many of them use advanced technologies that significantly improve the performance of the models. For example, Total Grip is able to provide high softness and excellent grip in the palm. And the Premium Carcass Construction, thanks to the shock-absorbing core, gives a stable rebound height, confirmed by FIBA and independent tests. In general, the manufacturer produces excellent basketballs at a cost that will allow them to be purchased even by a novice athlete who wants to train on the court in his own yard.
3 Nike
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.7
World famous manufacturer of sports goods. The company produces excellent balls, intended mainly for amateurs. And not at all because of the insufficient quality of the products: the brand's balls are made from different materials and are able to survive years of active use. Both leather and rubber models are available in different sizes and hardness. In general, any athlete will be able to choose the ideal model for himself. The brand is known for strong and durable outdoor balls.
The Nike Dominate for streetball is especially popular among fans: a durable rubber ball in different colors is literally created for active play on the courts. Ideal for practicing control and holding the ball thanks to its successful surface texture with large grains. In addition, Nike, together with Michael Jordan, founded the Jordan brand, under which excellent basketballs are produced for both professional athletes and ordinary consumers. Later, he spun off into a separate company, which did not stop working with the parent company. Alas, the Jordan brand has not gained due popularity, but it honestly deserves a place in the ranking of the best manufacturing companies.
2 Molten
Country: Japan
Rating (2022): 4.8
A well-known Japanese company that has introduced its basketballs into a number of official ones at many international competitions and tournaments. In particular, it is Molten that has been producing unique balls for competitions at the Olympic Games for more than twenty years. Brand products are also played in all games of the FIBA and FIBA Asia championships. Not to mention the fact that many national basketball leagues and federations have signed a contract for the supply of balls. In particular, all RFB matches are played only with Molten BGL7-RFB balls.
Of course, this trust is received not just like that. The production uses several technologies that significantly improve the performance of the balls. For example, X-technology improves the grip of balls in the palm of the hand due to a different arrangement of bulges. The Dual-Cushion technology reduces recoil when receiving the ball, but does not affect its speed when rebounding.Full-Flat Seam removes the recesses at the joints of the panels (which, by the way, are not 8, as in other balls, but as many as 12 thanks to the company's proprietary design). And the Flat-Pebble Surface technology is able to increase the contact area between the ball and the palm. The cost, like that of Spalding's direct competitor, is high. And it pays off in the same way with high quality and ease of play.
1 Spalding
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.9
The world's first manufacturer of basketballs, which since the end of the 19th century has been producing successful models for the team game that had just appeared then. Since then, it has not lost its leadership in the market: almost everyone uses the company's balls - from schoolchildren in physical education to professional basketball players at international competitions. The brand supplies its products to the NBA and WNBA, and has also produced streetballs for Ball4Real. So you can be 100% sure of the quality.
In the assortment you can find balls of all types, sizes, materials and purposes for playing in the hall or on the street. The manufacturer is famous for the technology of manufacturing balls, thanks to which they are distinguished by amazing wear resistance. Even with an active game, they will not only not deteriorate - they will not even lose their color and pattern. It is worth recognizing that the cost of Spalding models is quite high - the original ball, and not a fake, can be bought at prices from 2000 rubles and more. Professional NBA balls will cost 120-130 dollars (about 8500-9000 rubles) at least. However, they are worth it - their quality and durability are on top.
