Basketballs

Playing basketball without basketball becomes difficult. After all, it is not just a ball that you can use for any sport. Everyone can identify with the sports teacher who shouts: "It's a basketball, not football!" That's how it is. Choosing the right basketball is not that easy. All basketballs have different characteristics. Burned Sports was founded by and for basketball players. We know exactly what to look out for when buying the right strain and are happy to advise you. Burned Sports has a very extensive range of basketballs.

Types of basketballs

Basketball is one of the four most practiced sports in the world. As the sport is popular among men, women and children alike, there are different types of basketballs. A basketball for men is different from a women's basketball or a children's basketball. This has to do with the size and weight. Because this is different for everyone, we are happy to help you with the purchase of a basketball and we advise you on the type that suits you best. In addition, there is a difference in indoor basketball or an outdoor basketball. If you play indoor basketball, it is usually on hardwood. Here the ball bounces differently than on an outside field. Moreover, the ball wears out faster when you play on the street, because then you often dribble on asphalt. The material of basketballs makes the difference. The material also affects the grip. If you run across the field sweating, it is so nice that you can still hold the basketball, aim and give passes.

Brands basketballs

At Burned Sports we have the largest brands of basketball. Spalding and Wilson are most commonly used in the basketball world, both professionally and among amateurs. Although we don't have college sports in Europe, these competitions are very big in the United States. Often top players like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant progress to the NBA via a college team. The Wilson brand is therefore a top supplier of college basketball for men and women. Spalding has been supplying the official basketballs for the NBA since the 1980s and is now also used in the Euroliga. The brand not only makes basketballs, but also has clothing for basketball, just like baskets and nets. These are of course available at Burned Sports, just like the Spalding ball pumps.

Basketball maintenance

And you will need such a ball pump to be able to play well. The correct air pressure affects how well you steer, turn and bounce the basketball. If basketballs are too hard or too soft, your performance will be less. The same goes for the maintenance of a basketball. You can clean the ball with a sponge or brush and then dry it with a cloth. If you keep the basketball indoors and don't leave it in the sun or rain, it will last the longest.
