FAQs
Is this ball suitable for match play?
The Mitre Impel One is primarily designed as a high-quality training ball. While durable, it may not meet the specific technical standards required for professional match play.
What pump should I use?
Any standard football pump with a needle adapter will work. Ensure the needle is lubricated with a drop of water or silicone oil before insertion to protect the valve.
Can I use this on artificial grass?
While the ball is designed for grass, it can be used on artificial turf. However, note that artificial surfaces are more abrasive and may cause faster wear on the outer material compared to natural grass.
Does it come with a pump?
No, the ball is supplied deflated and does not include a pump or needle.
What is the recommended inflation pressure?
The recommended pressure is typically printed near the valve. Generally, a range of 6-8 PSI is standard for most size 5 training balls.
How do I store the ball if it gets wet?
Wipe off excess moisture with a clean towel and allow it to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Do not place it directly on a heater or radiator.
Troubleshooting
The ball loses air pressure quickly
Ensure the valve is clear of debris and the needle used for inflation was not inserted at an angle. If the leak persists, check for small punctures along the seams.
The ball feels too hard or too bouncy
The ball is likely over-inflated. Use a pressure gauge to release air until it meets the recommended pressure range for a size 5 ball.
Surface scuffs after use
Minor surface scuffs are normal for training balls. If the scuffing is excessive, check if the playing surface is too abrasive or if the ball has been used on concrete.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable construction suitable for frequent training
- Soft-touch materials enhance player comfort and control

- Consistent performance on grass fields
Cons
- Supplied deflated, requiring an air pump
- Primarily optimized for grass rather than artificial turf
- Not intended for match-play at professional levels
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Since the Mitre Impel One is delivered deflated, you will need a standard needle-valve ball pump. When inflating, insert the needle carefully to avoid damaging the internal bladder. Do not over-inflate; refer to the pressure guidelines printed near the valve to ensure optimal performance.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the ball down with a damp cloth after use on muddy grass to prevent dirt buildup that can degrade the outer material.
- Storage: Keep the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can weaken the seams and bladder.
- Surface: Avoid using the ball on rough surfaces like asphalt or concrete, as these will quickly abrade the outer casing.
