Eye-Catching & Practical Design

Patented 12-panel Giugiaro design. Giorgetto Giugiaro, the creator of Molten’s signature GIUIGIARO design and one of the top industrial designers in the world, strives to integrate utility and Italian beauty in his work. This innovative design was created by combining Molten’s innovative technology with his artistic vision.

The eye-catching 12-panel design offers the best visibility, and fingertip control, during play, passing, tackling, stealing, and shooting.

Less Slippery

The new synthetic leather surface texture created for the synthetic leather cover gives the ball an optimum grip over traditional pebble grip basketballs, even when in contact with sweat or moisture.

The Original Leather Texture Surface area in contact with the hand is wider by 95% compared to that of conventional pebble surfaces for better grip.

Conventional Pebble Surface
Average texture top area @ 2.74mm2

Benefitting from Natural Leather Texture

BG3000 basketballs take full advantage of the symulated natural leather texture by offering a more consistent grip in these segments.

Note - when inflating balls with a pump it is critical that the needle is lubricated before insertion. We suggest soft soap would be a suitable substance.
