When it comes to buying a basketball, things might not always be as straightforward as they seem. With lots of basketball brands like Molten, Baden, Spalding, Nike, Wilson and Adidas, indoor and outdoor versions, and a range of sizes to choose from, you should consider what you need your basketball for in order to buy the right kind.
Here's just a short guide to what to consider before purchasing your basketball.
Indoor / Outdoor Basketballs.
There are 3 main types of basketball. Indoor, outdoor and indoor/outdoor. If you just want your basketball for playing round the local park or courts, then an outdoor type will certainly be more durable on the tougher playing surfaces, and last longer in the long run.
If you want a basketball for training on a proper indoor court, then an indoor ball will be more tactile and suited to the smoother indoor court surface.
If you just want an all round basketball that you're happy to get dirty, but can also use indoors, then opt for in indoor/outdoor ball. They'll be tougher than your average indoor ball for sure.
