Li-Ning Love Outdoor Basketball (6)
Soft pink ball with the black Li-Ning logo and the brand name across the panels. The cover is PU leather with fine pebbling, the pattern you feel with your fingertips when you pick it up. The seams are deep, so your thumb finds a hold in them on a pass.
Who is size 6 for?
Size 6 has a circumference of 72 to 74 centimeters and weighs around 510 to 567 grams. Under the NBB competition rules, this is the ball size for national U12, for all of U14 and for women from U16. All women’s competitions above that use it too. Men switch to size 7 from U16, and up to about age twelve, size 5 is used regionally. Size 4 also exists, for U8, but we don’t carry it.
Outdoor or indoor?
This ball is made for outdoors, and that comes down to the material. PU leather can handle the rough grain of asphalt and concrete; a genuine leather ball wears out quickly there. You can also use it indoors on hardwood, but then it wears faster than a real indoor ball and glides slightly differently across the floor.
Grip with sweaty hands
The pebbling on the surface makes the difference on a hot day. The deeper the pattern, the more your fingers grab when your hands are damp. On this ball, the pebbling runs across all panels.
How firm should it be?
Between 0.5 and 0.6 bar, or 7 to 9 PSI. A simple test: drop it from shoulder height onto a hard floor. If it bounces back to somewhere between your hip and your waist, it’s right. Check this every couple of weeks, because every ball slowly loses air.
How long does it last?
That mainly depends on the surface. On smooth concrete a PU ball lasts a long time; on rough asphalt with gravel it wears faster. Give it a quick wipe with a dry cloth after playing, so the dust stays out of the pebbling and you keep the grip the longest.
In the store, we recommend this ball to anyone who mostly plays outdoors and wants a sturdy ball that can handle asphalt. For indoors, an indoor ball with a smoother surface feels nicer in the hand.
Do you play with your women's team on an outdoor court of asphalt or concrete?
Are you between twelve and fifteen and do you practice with a youth team?
Looking for a sturdy ball that can handle a rough surface?
Do you want a second ball specifically for outdoors, alongside your indoor ball?
Do you play with a men's team indoors? Then choose size 7 on the indoor floor; this size 6 is for women and U14.
Do you mostly play on a smooth gym floor? An indoor ball with a smoother surface rolls better there.
Choose size 6 if you're a woman or a youth player up to and including age fifteen; that's the ball size according to the NBB classification.
The circumference is 72 to 74 centimeters, slightly smaller than size 7 for men.
Inflate it to 0.5 to 0.6 bar for the right bounce.
100% PU leather
Top it up regularly to 0.5 to 0.6 bar; outdoor balls lose air faster.
Wipe off sand and grit with a damp cloth after playing.
Store it dry, not in a hot car or shed.
