FAQs
Is this ball suitable for official league matches?
The adidas Glider is designed primarily for training, practice, and recreational play rather than professional or competitive league matches.
Does the ball come inflated?
No, the ball is usually shipped deflated to ensure safe transport. You will need a standard ball pump to inflate it.
Can I use this ball on concrete surfaces?
While the durable outer shell is designed to withstand various surfaces, using it on concrete or abrasive asphalt will significantly accelerate wear and tear.
What is the benefit of a butyl bladder?
A butyl bladder offers superior air retention compared to other materials, meaning the ball stays inflated for much longer periods.
Is size 3 the right size for my child?
Size 3 is typically recommended for children under the age of 8, as it is easier for them to control and handle during skill development.
Troubleshooting
The ball is losing air
Check the valve for debris or use a small amount of valve oil. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a puncture and will need replacing or the ball may need to be retired.
The ball surface is accumulating dirt
Clean the exterior using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry with a towel.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent air retention thanks to the butyl bladder
- Durable construction resists damage from everyday use
- Consistent flight and roll due to machine-stitched paneling
- Perfect size for developing technical skills in younger players
Cons
- Not suitable for high-level competitive professional matches
- Limited to size 3, which may be too small for adult training
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your adidas Glider in peak condition, ensure you inflate it using a standard ball pump with a lubricated needle to prevent valve damage. Avoid over-inflating beyond the recommended pressure, as this can strain the stitching over time. While the outer material is resistant to wear, it is recommended to store the ball in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the materials from drying out. After playing on muddy or wet surfaces, wipe the ball down with a damp cloth to remove grit and debris, which will help preserve the outer finish.
