Rowe and Jarman in Grenfell Street
I think they sell for 80 to 100 bucks, not real sure.

Go the Top Flite 1000, shits all over the NBL ball.

I believe the NBL ball is the "MOLTEN GL7" and is available by order from almost any shop that sells basketballs (Champs, A-Mart, Port Road Sports, etc. etc.) and runs about $110 to $130. it is a great ball but out of the pack the leather is very hard and almost plastic feeling. A leather ball like the GL7 takes about 6 months of everyday use to get a good feel to it.
if you are a basketball player that plays social or district ball it may be in your best interest to get a "MOLTEN GF7" which is the synthetic version of the same ball but has a soft feel right out of the bag. The GF7 is the ball currently used in the ABA and I believe the GF series (size 6) is used in the WNBL.

The molten G series of balls is:
GL#: Leather indoor about $110-$130
GF#: Synthetic indoor about $70-$90
GE#: Plastic indoor outdoor about $40-$60
GR#: Rubber indoor outdoor about $20-$40

Happy hunting

Think youll find that ball is $149.99. Rowe and Jarman would have been a good place to start if you were looking a few months ago.

Try checking with your relevant club as they may get a better price.

Ive played with GL7s (official NBL game ball) and GF7s (sinthetic version) and i reckon that they are both brilliant balls but are the same in how they feel and the GF7 looks better because its a mixture of cream and brown, much better than cream and orange.
