How to maintain the basketball in order to prolong its service life.
1. Water is the natural enemy of any basketball. Usually, be careful not to let the basketball come into contact with water, and do not play in the rain. Even outdoor basketballs made of PVC synthetic leather will affect the service life of the basketball.
2. Do not step on, kick or sit on the basketball to rest, let alone press the basketball with heavy objects, otherwise it will easily cause the ball to deform and affect the elasticity.
3. Use a special air needle, and slowly insert the ball mouth after wetting. It is forbidden to use a high-pressure air pump to directly inflate. Do not inflate too much, it is easy to cause the spherical bulge to deform.
4. The basketball needs to be checked regularly. The most intuitive method is to check its inflation saturation: straighten the basketball, raise your hand to the top of your head, gently place the basketball on the ground, and bounce it to the chest to indicate proper inflation.
5. Due to water or other reasons, the glue will open. Remember not to use 502 glue, which will cause the surface of the basketball to oxidize and harden, which will affect the feel. It needs to be wiped clean and glued with blended glue.
