With a 12-panel Giugiaro design, the Molten BG5000 meets FIBA Size 7 game ball standards. Premium natural leather wraps a nylon-wound butyl bladder to maintain structural integrity. This iteration improves on the GL7X through a less-slippery texture and EVA foam backing for tactile control.
Key Features
- Premium Leather Cover: Genuine natural leather exterior. Needs a break-in period for peak softness.
- Less-Slippery Texture: New pebbled surface finish. Maintains grip when contact with heavy sweat occurs.
- Foam Rubber Backing: Integrated EVA foam layer. Softens the ball's feel during high-velocity passes.
- Butyl Bladder: High-retention internal air chamber. Limits air leakage during storage in high humidity.
- Nylon Wound: Internal reinforcement layer. Prevents warping or bulging under high-pressure inflation.
- 12-Panel Design: Giugiaro symmetric construction. Aids visual tracking during high-speed rotation on court.
