Rawlings Edge Basketball

No, this ball is specifically engineered for indoor use. Using the composite cover on rough outdoor surfaces like asphalt or concrete will quickly degrade the material and ruin the tacky grip.

This is an intermediate size, often referred to as a size 6 basketball. It is the standard regulation size for all women's high school and collegiate play, as well as for boys' youth leagues typically ranging from ages 12 to 14.

Composite leather is designed to be more durable and require less break-in time than traditional full-grain leather. While it offers a similar feel and grip, it holds up better against the wear and tear of intense, frequent practice sessions.

The NFHS stamp confirms that this ball meets the specific size, weight, and performance standards required for official high school competition. If you are training for high school basketball, this ball ensures you are practicing with equipment that matches game-day requirements.

While no basketball grip lasts forever, the composite material on this model is engineered to retain its tackiness significantly longer than standard synthetic balls. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain that grip by removing dust and court debris.
