The Pebbles Lines the revolution for basketballs

Pebbles Lines are laminated composite leather lines between the cover panels of the basketball. They create a uniform texture across the entire ball, avoiding loss of grip and discomfort.

Why are Pebbles Lines changing the game forever?

Indoor basketball

You'll never lose the ball or miss a shot again with this:

Pebble lines are used to create uniformity on the basketball.

You get the same material all over the ball and avoid smooth channels between the panels of the ball, creating a difference in texture and grip for the players, and therefore an alteration of performance.

Pebbles lines correct this lack of consistency on basketballs.

With all the tests conducted during the two years of ball research and development, we realized the real advantage it offers; it's insane. We therefore immediately integrated it into our own technologies without hesitation for the TB-HOF and TB-VCTRY

And if you think it's just a gadget and that a basketball is just a basketball, wait until you see all the pros it provides right here:

A performance boost | the advantages of Pebbles Lines

Pebbles Lines for a ball are comparable to giving an athlete 200mg of caffeine; it's a real performance enhancer.

That's why at TechBall, we've implemented our own Pebbles Lines in our Microfibre technologies on our Indoor range
