The tried and true Tachikara SGB-6RC Basketball is crafted using top-grade pebbled rubber with deep channeling for a superb grip. It features yarn-wound construction and a durable butyl bladder. Now you can get the ball you deserve in the color you want, because a variety of different color combinations are available: orange and white, scarlet and white, gold and white, royal blue and white, purple and white, and Kelly green and white. Perfect for practice and camps, this ball comes in both intermediate and regulation sizes. The smaller 28.5-inch-circumference balls are perfect for girls aged eight years and up and boys from nine to 12, while the 29.5-inch-circumference basketballs are suitable for men aged 13 and up.
Established in 1915 and incorporated five years later, Tachikara is a world leader in advanced, innovative design and manufacturing of athletic balls. The company revolutionized the sporting goods industry in 1952 with technology capable of producing seamless balls, and again in the years that followed with its patented Loose Bladder Construction method, which allows a layer of air to circulate between the inside bladder and outside cover. The resulting precision-balanced ball, first introduced in competition at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, affords truer flight and a superior soft touch.
In 2003, Tachikara proudly introduced another pair of innovations. The Dual Bladder Construction offers greater durability and improved control and flight, and Sensi-Tec materials improve upon their predecessors. Named for the god of power in Japanese mythology, Tachikara is committed to cutting-edge design, manufacture, and materials. Tachikara offers avid players innovative and premium-quality products at excellent value.
