Handball balls Molten
Supplier of the official ball of the International Handball Federation, Molten also produces the most recognisable handballs of resin-free halls, featuring the sixty triangles of the D60.
Competition balls in the colours of the FFHB, training balls, children's balls from size 00 to size 3, and leisure balls: the page covers all ages, individually or in packs.
D60 and D60 Pro: sixty triangles for playing without glue
No classic panels on the D60, but sixty triangles, each marked with a slight indent and bordered with grooves. This design, created with the Japanese design studio nendo, increases the edges that grip the fingers when resin is prohibited. The Pro version goes further with a coating that absorbs sweat, and the IHF has approved it for play without resin. The duo is recognized by its white, blue, and gold colours, and a white and red D60 is also available in size 2 for women's teams and youth.
Blue, white, red: the Molten range of the FFHB
Several Molten balls sport the colours of the French Handball Federation. For matches, the HX5001 comes in size 2 or size 3, accompanied by the HA5000 and the HX5000. For training, the red HX3400 handles the workouts, while the HA1800 is used for lighter exercises. A licensed player wanting to play with a federation ball can find their category size here.
HX1800: the colour code for youth categories
With the HX1800, each size has its own colour. The little ones play with the green size 00, mini-hand with the orange size 0, those under 12 with the red size 1, followed by the yellow size 2 and the blue size 3. At the end of a shared training session, sorting the net takes just ten seconds. For family play, the HR orange is suitable for a garden.
The Molten bundles for handball schools and clubs
The D60 in size 2, the FFHB H00X300 balls for the tiniest, and the HXF1800 without resin, available in light blue or red, can be purchased in sets of three, five, or ten. A club playing in a venue where glue is banned can thus equip an entire category with the same ball.
Smaller, lighter: the indoor ball without glue
The international regulations do not require the same measurements for a ball played without resin. In size 3, it measures between 55.5 and 57.5 cm and weighs between 400 and 425 g, while a classic ball goes up to 58 to 60 cm and weighs 425 to 475 g. This small difference makes it easier to grip the ball when nothing sticks.

Frequently asked questions
Can you use resin on a D60?
It's best to avoid it: the glue would clog up the grooves that provide its grip. All its design aims at gyms without resin. In a venue where it is allowed, a classic ball would work better.
Is the D60 in size 2 suitable for a women's team?
Yes, size 2 is for women from 14 years and boys aged 12 to 16. For a team playing in a venue without resin, it's a logical choice.
Which Molten ball for a 6-year-old child?
An HX1800 in size 0, orange, or in size 00, green, for the littlest ones. These lightweight balls are suitable for mini-hand and first sessions.
Are the FFHB balls from Molten match balls?
The HX5001 and the HA5000 are competition balls, the HX3400 and the HA1800 are training balls. Each specification outlines the use of the model.
How to care for a ball without resin?
Wipe it with a damp cloth after the session to remove dust and sweat from the grooves. Avoid harsh products and store it away from heat.
