What ball should you use?

An overinflated or underinflated basketball doesn’t give you the best match experience.
The recommended pressure is clearly written on the ball by the manufacturer. 
Ideally, you should use a pump with a pressure gauge for precise inflation.
We recommend a pressure of 8.99 psi.
