Basketball Size 7 - Molten B7G5000 Premium Leather (FIBA)

The Molten B7G5000 is a premium indoor basketball and the current flagship model in Molten’s BG-series. It serves as the Official Game Ball for all major FIBA (International Basketball Federation) tournaments, including the Olympic Games and the FIBA World Cup.

• Material: Crafted from high-quality premium natural leather, providing an authentic feel and durability for elite competitive play.
• Design: Features the iconic 12-panel Giugiaro design, which offers more seams than standard 8-panel balls for enhanced fingertip control.
• Construction: Includes a nylon-wound butyl bladder for air retention and an internal foam backing layer.
• Size: Official Size 7 (Men's), with a circumference of approximately 29.5 inches and a weight of roughly 600g.

• Enhanced Grip: A specialized surface texture provides 95% more contact area with the hand compared to traditional pebble surfaces, maintaining grip even when the ball is wet from sweat.
• Improved Cushioning: The ball uses 35% higher foam concentration and an EVA foam backing layer, making it softer and easier to control during shooting and dribbling.
• Visibility: The two-tone color scheme is designed to increase visibility for both players and fans, allowing for better tracking of ball rotation.

• Indoor Only: This ball is specifically designed for indoor gym use; consistent outdoor use on rough surfaces like asphalt will quickly degrade the premium leather.
• Break-in Period: Because it is made of natural leather, the 
  BG5000 requires a period of consistent play (breaking in) to achieve its optimal soft feel and grip.
