FAQs

What does FIFA Quality Pro certification mean?

FIFA Quality Pro certification means the ball has passed rigorous testing by FIFA and meets the highest international standards for match balls, covering aspects like weight, circumference, roundness, rebound, water absorption, and shape retention.

How do I know the correct inflation pressure?

The recommended inflation pressure is typically printed near the ball's valve. If not visible, a standard pressure for professional footballs is between 8.5 to 15.6 PSI (0.6 to 1.1 BAR).

Is this ball suitable for all ages?

While it's a professional-grade ball, its size 5 is standard for adults and older youth players. Younger players may benefit from smaller sizes designed for their age group.

How does the Hyperflow surface improve performance?

The Hyperflow surface features specially designed grooves that manipulate airflow. This reduces drag during flight by approximately 10%, leading to a more stable trajectory and increased accuracy for shots and passes.

Can I use this ball in wet weather conditions?

Yes, the thermal bonding technology minimizes water uptake, helping the ball maintain its performance and weight even in wet conditions. However, always clean and dry the ball after use.

What is the benefit of the 4-panel construction?

The unique four-panel construction, combined with thermal bonding, provides a softer, more consistent touch on the ball, enhancing control and feel. It also contributes to the ball's overall durability and shape retention.

Does the ball come inflated?

No, the Mitre FA Cup Ultimax Pro Football is shipped deflated to ensure optimal condition upon arrival and to reduce shipping volume.

Troubleshooting

Ball won't inflate

Ensure the inflation needle is properly inserted into the valve and the pump is functioning correctly. Check for any debris blocking the valve.

Ball loses air quickly

Check the valve for damage or debris. Ensure the inflation needle has been lightly moistened before insertion. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a leak.

Ball feels inconsistent or heavy

Verify the ball is inflated to the correct pressure using a pressure gauge. If the ball has been exposed to water, allow it to dry completely. Check for any visible damage to the outer casing.

Surface graphics are peeling

This can occur with excessive abrasion or improper cleaning. Gently wipe the area with a damp cloth. Avoid rubbing or using abrasive materials on the graphics.
