What makes the Tarmak R500 and its Magic Jam so ial?

The Tarmak R500 basketball is one of a kind.Some balls are slippery, have a terrible bounce and can't be repaired. We wanted to offer a solutionIn addition to its reinforced covering, this ball contains a green gel made of rubber microparticles that get sucked into holes to not only fill, but to also reinforce these areas. This prevents air leaking out so you can keep playing. We called this gel Magic Jam.

Is the R500 really puncture-proof?

The R500 Tarmak ball withstands up to 10 punctures (2 mm diameter) without going flat.If you find a hole, bounce the ball at least 10 times. This causes the Magic Jam to move around and fill in the hole before hardening on contact with air.If the ball ever loses too much pressure, remember to reinflate it (to 0.62 bar for the perfect bounce).

What makes the R500 so grippy?

Having a good grip is essential in basketball.We drew inspiration from something else that requires excellent grip tyres.The R500 Tarmak basketball comes with a rubber covering that makes it durable and exceptionally grippy.Its sculpted, tyre-inspired panels alternate with panels in thick, basketball pebbling that makes gripping this ball exceptionally easy.s4
