Product Care

• Molten Basketball GL7 Natural leather basketballs should be cleaned using a small amount of specially designed natural leather cleaner with a soft cloth.
• Always store basketballs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Never leave a professional sports ball exposed to extreme temperatures, for example in the trunk of a car on a very hot or freezing day. This can cause the ball to lose its carefully tuned shape or deteriorate the carcass.
• Keep basketball away from fire.
• Using your basketball in the rotation will give the leather time to breathe and extend the life of the ball.

Note:

• Molten Basketball GL7 REQUIRES a break-in period, please do not expect to receive a soft, grippy ball as others may have stated. Out of the box, the ball feels very solid
  and is comfortable in dribbling both casually and on the offensive. You will also notice the ball comes with a 12-panel design, different from the usual 8
  panel design, but nonetheless feels very nice and comfortable as reported by customers, where they have stated that they like having more seams at their fingertips.
  This is not a GRIPPY ball, and for those who grew up playing with REAL leather, balls know that grippy is not the desired feel. You need a balance, and this ball, similar to the NBA official ball, will achieve this. Just give it time and you will never want to play with a synthetic again.
