Engineering comparison: PU leather basketball vs. rubber basketball vs. PVC basketball
PU leather provides superior durability, grip, and feel compared to rubber or PVC basketballs. The natural rubber bladder ensures consistent bounce and performance. PU leather is more durable for outdoor use than rubber. Rubber basketballs may be harder and less comfortable for extended play. PVC basketballs may lack the grip and feel of PU leather. The 600-650g weight and 29.5 inch size 7 meet official game specifications. The 50-piece MOQ is more accessible than typical 100-500 unit requirements for custom basketballs.
