Strengthen your game on the court with the Wilson WNBA Weighted 3lb Basketball. Training with a weighted basketball builds the hand, wrist, and arm strength that powers sharper dribbling, crisper passing, and tougher rebounding. When you switch back to a regulation ball, it feels lighter and quicker in your hands.
Even at 3 lbs, this ball still bounces like a regulation basketball, so players can run their usual dribbling and passing drills without changing their mechanics. A microfiber composite leather cover delivers an in-game feel and reliable grip, while NBA Pro Seams and game ball bladder construction keep the touch authentic throughout every workout.
As the official weighted basketball of the WNBA, it comes in the standard women’s Size 6 (28.5") and is designed for indoor training. Official WNBA branding paired with the classic Wilson look makes it a standout training tool for high school, college, and adult players, as well as younger athletes who play with a Size 6.
