• Approval: Officially approved by FIBA (International Basketball Federation) for the 2023–2027 period, at Levels 1 and 2. It is also the official game ball of several leagues like the British Basketball League (BBL) and the German Women's Basketball League (DBBL).
• Size & Weight: It is a size 6 ball, the official size for women's basketball and junior competitions for players generally aged 12-14 (boys) and 12+ (girls). It has a circumference of 72–74 cm and a weight of 510–567 g, adhering to FIBA standards.
• Material: Made from premium composite/synthetic leather, it is designed for durability and a better feel.
• Construction: Features a four-layer laminated construction and a reinforced butyl bladder for long-lasting air retention and stability.
• Grip & Feel: A key feature is the additional foam layer, which provides a softer, more comfortable touch and improved ball control, even with moist hands. The classic flat-grain or pebble surface texture increases the surface contact area by 95% compared to conventional pebble surfaces for better grip.
