Basketball Size 7 - Molten B7G4550 Premium Composite Leather (FIBA) (MABA)

The Molten B7G4550 is a premium size 7 indoor basketball that serves as a successor to the popular Molten GG7X. It is part of Molten's "BG-Series," which was introduced as the official ball for FIBA competitions from 2023–2027.

• Material: Premium composite leather with a "flat pebble" surface for enhanced grip.
• Design: Features Molten's signature 12-panel Giugiaro design, which improves visibility for tracking ball rotation.
• Construction: Laminated with a butyl bladder for superior air retention.
• Size & Weight: Official size 7 (29.5" circumference) and weight (~591g), suitable for men and boys aged 15 and older.
• Intended Use: Designed specifically for indoor use on hardwood courts.

• Improved Grip: Unlike the BG4500 (which used a "muscle fiber" texture), the 
  BG4550 returns to a flat pebble texture similar to the GG7X due to player feedback regarding sweat management and control.
• Advanced Control: The grooves/channels are wider and deeper than previous models, providing better finger placement and stability during shooting.
• Increased Bounciness: Testing shows a slightly higher rebound compared to older Molten models, similar to the Wilson Evolution.
