TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

Why learn to play basketball with the Tarmak BT100 size 7 ball?

Its outer cover is made from foam PVC to give it a more cushioned feel that is softer on contact. Its 100% polyester filament winding ensures good quality bounce.

What ball size to choose?

What ball should you use?

If you want a ball, go for a rubber ball. If you want a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic are what you need.

For a good bounce, how much should you inflate your basketball?

A basketball that is overinflated or underinflated doesn't give you the best match experience.
The recommended pressure is clearly marked on the ball by the manufacturer.
Ideally, you should use a pump with a pressure gauge so that you can be more precise.
At Tarmak, we recommend a pressure of: 0.62 bar.
Enjoy your match!

What height basket should you choose?

The official height of a basketball basket is 3.05m (rim height).
If you want a basketball basket for your child, you need something that will grow with them.
For younger kids there isn't an official height so you can choose whatever suits them best.
Up to the age of 10, club baskets are set at 2.60m.
After the age of 10, both girls and boys play with 3.05m baskets.
