Molten GL7X/GL6X

GL7X/GL6X

To improve consistency of touch, the shape and placement of each pebble was modified and aligned to create a uniform surface texture, revolutionizing the traditional pebble pattern. This uniformity ensures a consistent contact no matter where the ball is held.

Increased contrast between the ball’s feature colors provides the ultimate experience in ball visibility.
Players can focus on every movement of the ball.
Additionally, the rotation of the ball can be seen at greater distances, allowing fans to see every detail of play.

The traditional, raised pebble surface of the ball was modified into a flat-pebble finish.
This finish provides maximum grip and control by increasing the contact area.

By flattening the area around the ball’s seams and minimizing the difference in height, Molten’s full-flat seams provide consistent backspin for precise shooting and passing no matter where you hold the ball.
