In Denmark, handball fills the arenas and makes the headlines of sports newspapers, and that's where Hummel, a brand born in Hamburg, has created its range of handballs: Star, Classic, Energizer, Evolution and Storm.
From the size 00 beginner ball to the match ball, the page covers all categories, available individually or in bulk for clubs.
The Star family is identified by its off-white base. The light blue training Star, with a hint of red, navy or yellow, is made for training sessions. The Star Pro, in red and gold or red and silver, steps it up a notch, and the Star Match, in navy and gold or navy and silver, is aimed at competition. One single range allows a club to go from training to match without changing the feel.
The Classic is the versatile ball of the brand, the most prominent on the page. It comes in a children's version, in size 1 and size 00 for toddlers, with bright colours like orange, red, light blue or green. The Classic Pro, in navy and gold or navy and silver, is for experienced players. The Classic Energizer, in red and navy or off-white and light blue, showcases the same base in many colours.
The Evolution balls are marked AR and are also among the resin-free balls from Handball-Store. The Evolution Pro, in green, navy, and red, is the most technical. The Evolution Advanced, in off-white and green, and the Evolution Energizer, in light blue and navy, complete the range in sizes 2 and 3. A good choice for a club playing in a hall where glue is prohibited.
The Storm Pro 2.0, in blue, is one of the most technical models from the brand, designed for regular players. The Concept, also blue, complements the selection. A few beach handball and multisport balls are added for play outside the hall.
Evolution Energizer, Evolution Pro, Star, Star Match and Classic can also be bought in sets of three, five or ten. A club can get a set of Star for the week and some Star Match for the matches, keeping the same family of balls throughout the season.
Born in Hamburg and now based in Denmark, Hummel adopted a bumblebee logo, its name in German, and its chevrons adorn the jerseys of many clubs. To compare, check out the balls Select, balls Erima, balls Kempa, or balls Molten, or the ball brands page.
The current discounts are gathered in the special ball offers. The Black Friday balls comes at the end of autumn, and the ball clearance features end-of-line items.
On the page, balls marked AR belong to the Evolution range, which Handball-Store also categorises as resin-free balls. Check the model's specification for the specific usage recommended by the brand.
This is the smallest size on the page, for children discovering handball, even before size 0 for mini-hand. The Classic children's version is available in this size, with bright colours.
The Star Match is aimed at competition, while the Star Pro bridges the training and match experience. For a club, the Star Pro suits teams that train a lot, whereas the Star Match is for matches.
Yes, as long as you choose an Evolution AR model. The other balls from the brand are generally intended for play with resin, like most traditional balls.
The Classic is the versatile ball, ranging from mini-hand to seniors. The Star forms a three-tiered range for going from training to matches. For a young player, the Classic is sufficient, while for a competitive club, the Star is more fitting.
