TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

Why learn to play basketball with the Tarmak R500 ball?

The Tarmak R500 basketball is perfect for beginners.
Ball handling is enhanced thanks to the deep grooves and pebbled cover.
Foam rubber (air is injected into rubber, which creates a softer consistency) for softer impacts.
Its 100% polyester filament winding ensures good quality bounce.

What ball size to choose?

The ball size depends on the player's age and sex.
Size 1: From ages 2 and up
Size 3 to size 5: Girls or boys ages 4 to 6/Baby basket under 7 age group (depending on levels and clubs)
Size 5: Boys and girls ages 7 to 10/Under 9 and under 11 age groups

Size 6: Girls - Women of all ages over 11

What ball should you use?

If you want a very robust 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!
