02 / The buying plan

A useful place
to begin.

Settle the requirements first. Then compare the equipment for the way you play.

  1. 01

    Confirm the size

    Ask the team or league for its ball requirement. A product’s size and circumference matter more than its styling.

  2. 02

    Know the surface

    Indoor and outdoor balls are made for different courts. Check the exact model’s intended use before taking it outside.

  3. 03

    Compare the listing

    Match size, material, seller and selected option when comparing prices. Check the return terms before ordering.
