Basketball air pressure experiment research from our research, we found out that a normal basketball will require 8 per square inch, (psi) for a normal bounce.. For a 29.5″ basketball (mens) and a 28.5″ basketball (womens), the recommended air pressure range is 7 - 9 psi. the irony is almost no one has a gauge to accurately check the psi rating on a basketball while inflating it because most pumps aren’t equipped with a gauge and ones that are rarely give an accurate reading.. (example: basketball #1 = 6 psi and bounced 10 inches high). have the same volunteer who dropped the first basketball continue with the other two basketballs. ask a significantly taller or shorter fifth volunteer to perform the same steps as the fourth volunteer and record the results..
