Great things at great prices and awesome customer service.
Cool ball
Daughter loves it. Feels rugged enough to take abuse.
It was difficult to get a size 6 basketball for my daughter (most balls in the shops are size 7). Apparently women only ever play with a size 6 ball. She has been using it for several weeks now and likes it a lot.

Hello Shikha,
Thank you for writing in with your comments. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Your feedback is important to us and helps us improve our products. Basketball BT100 is perfect for beginners. Ball handling is enhanced thanks to the pebbled cover. Its outer cover is made from foam PVC to give it a more cushioned feel that is softer on contact. It can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Usage of this ball is specific to users who are looking for a good ball feel.
If you want a very durable ball I would suggest you to go for a rubber ball. If you're looking for a ball with a good ball feel, choose a leather or synthetic ball.
Should you need a basketball with better grip and durability, I would be happy to recommend you a few other models. Basketball Resist 500 is official size 7 basketball made with foam rubber, it provides great grip and durability thanks to the rubber outer cover.
Thanks and regards,
Akanksha Tomar

Awesome fitting

What ball should you use?
If you want a very durable 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 bars.Enjoy your match!
What height basket should you choose?
The official height of a basketball basket is 10 ft. (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 8'6”. After the age of 10, both girls and boys play with 10' baskets.
