Handball

When selecting a handball for professional play, prioritize IHF-approved models with a high-grip synthetic leather surface and a zero-wing bladder for optimal balance. Brands like Select and Molten offer specialized textures that ensure excellent control even without resin, and you can find these premium options at techstores.gr.

Junior players typically require a Size 1 or Size 2 handball, such as the Hummel Kids or Kempa Leo models, which feature a softer foam backing for easier gripping. These smaller dimensions help young athletes develop proper throwing techniques safely, and the full range is available at techstores.gr.

Resin-free handballs, like the Molten d60 series, use a moisture-absorbing surface material that maintains grip despite sweat, whereas traditional balls like the Select Ultimate rely on external pine resin for stickiness. Choosing a resin-free model is ideal for indoor courts where adhesives are prohibited, and both types are stocked at techstores.gr.

To extend the life of your handball, clean it regularly with a damp cloth and store it at room temperature to prevent the latex bladder from drying out. Using specialized resin removers for models like the Kempa Spectrum ensures the outer casing remains durable and tacky, and you can get all your maintenance gear at techstores.gr.
