I have recently switched from a size 6 ball to size 7 and now I can’t shoot and it has completely ruined my form

I never paid attention to sports this much did not know there was like a men's and women's basketball no clue one was smaller than the other I imagine they all use the same I'm going to have to look in the store next time because I've never realized there was that difference

Hey, I'm a girl and I'm 15 years old. I've wanted to buy a basketball since probably 2016, but my parents never agreed. Now I can do it and I'm very excited, but I don't know which size to choose. I'm a begginer, but not 10 years old anymore so I wonder which of these sizes would be better. I have to mention that I really want to practice playing that sport and I'm a little afraid that if I'd start with a size 6 it might be a little easier, but I wouldn't be trained as good as if I'd go with a size 7. (I'm 163 cm high, simmilar to 5'4", I know I'm short but my height is not gonna crush my ambition) I NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE 🙏

@gottahoopemall 2 года назад

Thats great to hear. Women’s leagues play with a size 6. The WNBA all use a size 6. If playing competition in a girls or womens league they would also be using a size 6. If you are going to be playing against men or in a mixed league they will be using a size 7. If your not planning on playing any competition at all id recommend getting a size 6 and after a year trial a size 7 but using a size 6 as a woman is more than acceptable and never let anyone look down on that. Its what the pros use 👍 Thanks for your question I hope this helps. You can find this size 6 WNBA ball on our website under Shop > Recommend. 🏀👍

@asia5438 2 года назад

@@gottahoopemall Thank you SO much, I really appreciate that quick and useful answer. In that case I will do as you advised and get a size 6 at first. Also thank you for the support and help I'm getting from your videos and comments. You guys do an amazing job and keep it going like that! 💓 Have a nice day ☺

@etan... 5 месяцев назад

Size 6 is recommended for 12-14 but I'd go 7 so you get used to it earlier

@simonmatuska2046 2 года назад

And is it big difference between these sizes??

@gottahoopemall 2 года назад

Yes, the size 6 feel a lot lighter and you can tell its smaller. This effects how you shoot and how you dribble. If training to play with others i would train with the same size basketball they would be using. But for causal fitness playing on your own it won’t matter so much. What type of basketball are you playing?

Hey im starting to get into competitive basketball i have a size 6 and 7 ball which should i use to improve my shooting and dribbling?

@hudsons6006 Год назад

size 6 for dribbling as it is harder to control and 7 for shooting as it it bigger and needs more power/accuracy which is good for training

@TheAccessFoundation 9 месяцев назад

Go with the 7. Used for NBA..and for Most competitive youth leagues starting at 5th/ 6th grade

i’m confused because i have a wilson evolution size 7 and people say i have a girls ball so idk how to tell

@gottahoopemall 2 года назад

Maybe they are teasing… or they don’t know that the official size basketball is a 7. Either way, if you have a size 7 basketball no matter what brand it is… that is the official size for the mens league NBA. Size 6 is the official size of the WNBA. How do you like the Evolution ball? Is it a good ball to shoot with?

Can a 9 year old practice with a size 7?

@gottahoopemall 2 года назад

Hi there, youth basketball size for age 9-12 is normally a size 6. However lots of 9 year olds practice with a size 7. I started with a size 7 at age 6. If its for casual practice a 7 will be fine, however if the child is going to be playing on a team in a league id suggest asking the coach or association what size the youth game ball will be. Matching the childs practice basketball size to the game ball will help them translate their training into the game. Thanks for your question. 🏀😎

@abrightertomorrow944 2 года назад

@@gottahoopemall Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, he is starting in a league next month and they play with a size 6. He currently trains and practices with a size 6 as well but wants me to get him a size 7 to play with. Im just concerned it'll end up being counteractive to his training.

@Easport2000 2 года назад

I just started playing basketball and for now all I have is size 6 basketball will it be a bad idea to use it until I get a new ball that is size 7? I’m a male btw.

@gottahoopemall 2 года назад

Hi there, thats great to hear that your starting basketball training 🏀👍 your going to have a great time! If you have a size 6 basketball id recommend playing with that, yes definitely, until you get a size 7 later on. If you enjoy the game you will be able to use the size 7 when you get one. I go back and forth using the 6 and 7 without much issues. But my advice would be just start now and transfer over to the 7 when you get one. Wed love to hear how you go. Keep us updated and send through any questions you have. 👍

@gottahoopemall 2 года назад

you can check the basketball size at the valve (the small hole you pump up the ball) its the best location for all details about the ball, Among the info will be the balls size. check out our How to inflate a basketball like you made the playoffs! A Beginner’s guide. its shows what we are taking about.

Go for it. Interesting fact, FIBA 3v3 uses size 6 ball. Some of the outdoor courts I played on, ppl actually prefer size 6 half of the time.
