What is the weight of these footballs?

Can these be used in wet weather?
Yes, the plastic construction is water-resistant and will not become heavy or waterlogged like traditional leather balls.
Troubleshooting
Ball feels too hard or too soft
These are plastic moulded balls; they do not require inflation. Ensure you are using them in recommended temperature ranges, as extreme cold can make the plastic feel harder.
Surface scuffs appearing after use
Minor surface scuffs are normal for plastic balls during active play. Avoid using the balls on rough, unfinished concrete surfaces.
Mesh bag straps tangling
Always coil the drawstring completely after closing the bag to prevent knots when storing the sack between sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up for your session is straightforward: simply empty the mesh sack at the start of your drill and re-collect the balls immediately afterward to keep the group focused. While these balls are robust, maintaining their lifespan is easy if you follow a few basic care guidelines:
- Surface Selection: Use primarily on grass, synthetic turf, or smooth indoor gymnasium floors.
- Avoid Abrasives: Refrain from using on asphalt or concrete, which will accelerate the wear of the plastic surface.
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth after indoor use. If balls become dirty from outdoor play, rinse with mild soapy water and air dry thoroughly before returning them to the mesh sack.
- Storage: Store in the provided mesh bag in a dry, temperate environment to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle.
