Consistent Touch Pebbling

The first thing to discuss is the incredibly interesting pebbling of the GG7X. The pebbling across the cover has something called ‘consistent touch’, which means the pebbles are perfectly aligned as opposed to the random pebbling we see anywhere else. Technically, this should only result in a tiny difference, but it seems rather fitting for a Japanese ball manufacturer to design the pebbling with such precision. 

Grip

The resulting grip is very impressive. The GG7X is grippier and easier to palm. It has a unique, rubbery kind of grip that feels different to other indoor basketballs.

GIUGIARO design 

The signature design of the basketball is a big part of the GG7X. Whether you like the 12 panel design or not, it’s nice to see a major competition basketball straying from the standard 8 panel design. Because it has more of them, if you like making contact with channels (a lot of people do), then you’ll probably like Molten’s X-series basketballs.

Another nice thing about the design is the two-tone coloring. Looking like an ‘X’ from the side, the balls spin is very clear when it flies through the air. This actually makes it quite nice in training, where you might want to see the amount of rotation during your shots.

Bounce

The bounce on the basketball is very consistent. It’s premium butyl bladder retains air well and there is no issues with leaky valves or what not. 

Durability

The GG7X is the grip monster.

Verdict

Overall the Molten GG7X is a high quality and quite distinct indoor&outdoor composite leather ball on the market.
