Molten Launches New Pink Basketball
MOLTEN LAUNCHES NEW PINK BASKETBALL
Molten, the world’s leading manufacturer of sports balls and equipment, launches a brand new, pink basketball, the BGR6-WPS pink, in the UK this week.
The new pink rubber basketball is available in size 6 only and has been introduced to the range of Molten coloured rubber basketballs following significant demand from women players.
The 12-panel design, pink basketball is manufactured using a special rubber compound which gives the ball a tacky feel. This, combined with its deep-pebble surface, enhances a player’s grip on the ball, while the additional seams (in comparison to traditional 8-panel balls) provide increased accuracy in shooting and passing. The special surface also adds durability to the life of the ball, especially when used outdoor.
The new pink ball joins the existing Molten range of coloured, rubber basketballs which are also available in sizes 7, 6, 5, 3 & 1.
First to trial the new pink ball was the GB Women’s Basketball Team. Jo Leedham, a member of the team said: “The Molten G-Series is a great basketball and we are thrilled Molten has brought out this unique pink ball. Women’s teams up and down the country are just going to love playing with it.”
Comments Bob Hope, chairman of UK & Ireland’s Molten distributor: “Molten is introducing this new pink basketball to our popular range of rubber basketballs in response to the strong feedback we have received from the UK’s growing number of women basketball players. As it is the only pink basketball in the marketplace we are expecting a high uptake.”
