Why the K500 ball? It's the perfect ball for playing with the Hoop 500 Easy!
The Tarmak K500 ball is the perfect ball for playing with the Hoop 500 Easy (the Tarmak basketball hoop that can be placed anywhere). The K500 is a size 4 basketball that is lighter than a classic ball. It's the right size for the Hoop 500 Easy and allows players, especially younger children, to shoot from afar!
What basket height should you choose?
The official height of a basketball hoop is 3.05 m (rim height). If you want a basketball hoop for your child, you need something that will grow with them. For younger children there is no official height, so you can choose whatever suits them best.
Up to the age of 10, club hoops are set at 2.60 m. After the age of 10, both girls and boys play with 3.05 meter hoops.
What makes the Tarmak K500 the ideal ball for your child to learn to play basketball?
Basketball is a sport that requires skill and dexterity. To make learning easier for children, we created a ball that is 30% lighter than other balls of the same size. This makes it easier for them to score and pass successfully. The outer covering has a foam layer, making it softer than a standard ball. Small hands won't get hurt, which will help your child build confidence.
Did you know that all TARMAK products are tested in the lab and under match conditions?
The design team behind TARMAK products is located in Kipstadium in Northern France. Their ongoing mission is to make basketball players feel more comfortable when playing. All Tarmak products are tested in real-life situations by real players for several weeks. These regular tests, along with customer feedback, help us develop our products. Laboratory tests are also carried out to check the various properties of our products.
What is the ideal pressure to get the right bounce from your K500 basketball?
A basketball that is over-inflated or under-inflated does not give you the best game experience. The recommended pressure is clearly marked on the ball by the manufacturer. Ideally, you should use a pump with a pressure gauge to be more accurate. We recommend inflating your K500 ball to: 0.35 bar. Enjoy your game!
