FAQs
What is the main difference between training and match balls?
Training balls like the Samba Infiniti are built for durability and frequent use, often using more robust materials. Match balls are typically constructed with higher-grade materials for optimal performance, feel, and flight characteristics during competitive games.
Can I use these balls in wet weather?
Yes, these balls are designed to handle use on wet grass or artificial surfaces. The construction aims to minimize moisture absorption, but it's always best to dry the ball after use and store it properly.
What does '32 panel machine sewn' mean?
It refers to the construction method where 32 individual pieces of material are stitched together by a machine. This method is common for training balls, offering a balance of durability and cost-effectiveness.
How do I know if I have the correct size football?
Size 5 is the standard size for adult football (soccer). Sizes 3 and 4 are typically used for younger players and specific training purposes.
What is the bladder material and why is it important?
The Samba Infiniti uses an HR (High Resilience) winding bladder, typically made of butyl rubber. This material is excellent for retaining air and maintaining the ball's shape over time, ensuring consistent performance.
Are these balls suitable for hard ground or indoor courts?
While they can be used on artificial turf, they are not specifically designed for hard, abrasive surfaces like concrete or indoor wooden courts. Use on such surfaces may lead to premature wear of the outer material.
How many Samba Infiniti balls are included in a purchase?
The product description refers to a specific SKU (e.g., CF-BALL84500x30) which may indicate a pack size. Please check the specific product listing for details on quantity per purchase.
Troubleshooting
Ball loses air quickly
Ensure the inflation needle is inserted correctly and the valve is not damaged. Check for any visible punctures. Re-inflate to the correct pressure.
Ball shape seems irregular
Ensure the ball has been inflated to the recommended pressure. If it persists after proper inflation, allow it to rest in a stable environment for 24 hours. If the issue continues, contact customer support.
Outer material appears scuffed or damaged
Minor scuffing is normal with use on artificial surfaces. For significant damage, consider if the surface is appropriate or if the ball has been subjected to excessive wear. Cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain appearance.
Water absorption affecting performance
While the construction minimizes absorption, prolonged use in very wet conditions can have an effect. Ensure the ball is dried thoroughly after use and stored in a dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Inflation: The football will arrive deflated. Use a standard football pump with a suitable needle to inflate the ball to the recommended pressure. Check the ball for printed pressure guidelines or refer to standard football inflation recommendations.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Designed for use on both natural grass and artificial turf (astro turf) surfaces.
- Conditions: Best used in dry to moderately wet conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme water saturation.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the outer material.
- Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store heavy objects on top of the ball, as this can affect its shape.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the inflation level and re-inflate as needed to maintain optimal performance and shape.
