Why learn to play basketball with the Tarmak R500 ball?

What ball should you use?
If you want a very robust ball, go for a rubber ball. If you want a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic are what you need.
For a good bounce, how much should you inflate your basketball?
A basketball that is overinflated or underinflated doesn't give you the best match experience.
The recommended pressure is clearly marked on the ball by the manufacturer.
Ideally, you should use a pump with a pressure gauge so that you can be more precise.
At Tarmak, we recommend a pressure of: 0.62 bar.
Enjoy your match!
