Description
Overview
The Molten BC7R is a size 7 rubber basketball for players aged 15 and over. Its appeal is durability: a rubber surface in Molten's 8 panel layout over a butyl bladder that holds pressure, which makes it a sensible ball to buy in multiples.
Molten describes it simply as a rubber basketball, so treat it as an everyday training and PE ball rather than a match ball. For a game-day Molten ball, look through the Molten range.
Key benefits
- Shrugs off rough court surfaces with a durable rubber cover.
- Holds pressure between PE sessions thanks to the butyl bladder.
- Easy to orient and grip with the 8 panel Molten design.
- Orange and cyan colourway stands out in a shared ball bag.
Who it's for
Secondary school PE, senior club training and community play where balls get scuffed and lost. The size 7 is the senior ball; players aged 10 to 14 are better served by a size 6 from our basketballs category, and 7 to 9 year olds by a size 5.
Sizing guide
Size 7 is the ball for players 15 and over. Size 6 covers 10 to 14 year olds, size 5 covers 7 to 9, and size 3 is for under 7s.
Care, safety and set-up
Check pressure before each session; a rubber ball feels fine in the hand when underinflated but bounces poorly. Brush grit off the cover after outdoor use so it does not wear the seams.
