Engineered for Rapid 3x3 Pace
In official FIBA 3x3 tournaments, games are fast-paced with a 12-second shot clock and relentless outdoor wind conditions. The official Molten B33T5000 Libertria features the circumference of a Size 6 ball with the mass and weight of a full Size 7 ball.
This unique balance allows players to handle and shoot with extreme velocity while maintaining heavy wind resistance and outdoor court grip.
