Rawlings Basketball
As the leaves began to fall from the New England trees in 1891 a man named James Naismith started to develop and indoor game to keep students in shape during those cold Northeastern winters.
An instructor at the Y.M.C.A. Training School in Massachusetts, Naismith attached a wood peach basket to the walls at opposite ends of a gymnasium and used a soccer ball to shoot baskets.
Naismith named the game basketball, soon YMCA’s across the country were playing the game and by the end of WWII it was a recognized sport through out the world thanks to U.S. troops.
Unlike many other sports that utilize protective padding you need very little equipment to play the game. Thus many manufacturers have spent a lot of money on developing the best basketball conceivable.
Changes over the years have been numerous. In fact you may be able to bid on an old laced basketball on EBay if you wanted to buy a piece of history. Truthfully we don’t have to go that far back to see substantial changes in the ball.
Little more than a decade ago most players preferred a full grain leather cover with narrow channels and the only thing between the cover and the bladder was glue.
Now composite balls top the sales charts and wide channels have replaced narrow channels almost completely and the space between the cover and the bladder is now home to things like Rawlings Padded Zone Technology®.
Modern basketballs are like high tech sports cars. When your behind the wheel all you want to do is drive. Like a sports car the technology under the hood blends with your skill and reflexes for the ultimate experience.
Let’s take a look at the Rawlings Vision Basketball for example. A supple microfiber cover, deep skived channels and to top it off Padded Zone Technology® for unbeatable ball control. Suddenly the ball is improving my performance on the court.
We’ve certainly come a long way since Naismith developed the game and I have no doubt that basketballs will continually change as new materials become available.
Until then test drive a Rawlings Vision Basketball.
