Molten Basketballs lead the world in design and playability.

The new Molten G-Series Basketballs are the FIBA official game Basketballs for every top level event throughout the world including the 2008 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in Beijing;

the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in London;

the World Championships;

the World Wheelchair Championships; European Championships;

the Commonwealth Games and Euroleague.

For the past hundred years basketballs have been manufactured with eight panels, but Molten has broken with tradition and developed a new, radical design basketball featuring 12 panels.

This new G-Series Basketball is eye catching with its two bands of colour – orange and light brown – which enhance visibility and it is packed with ground breaking technology to boost player performance in all areas including dribbling, passing and shooting.

Most importantly, the additional seams provide increased finger-tip control for improved passing and shooting accuracy.

Molten Basketball also provide a suitable needle for use when inflating their Basketballs which is compatible with their valves.

**** Please Note Needles should always be moistened before use to prevent the heat generated during inflation causing the needle to stick in the valve and damage it.

**** Baden use a new narrower valve so it is important that the right size slimmer needle is used to avoid damaging the valve or pushing it inside the ball.
