FAQs
What is the recommended PSI for this ball?
Check the panel near the valve for the specific PSI range recommended by Mitre.
Is this ball suitable for indoor use?
While it can be used indoors, the surface is optimized for grass and advanced artificial turf pitches.
Does the ball come inflated?
To prevent damage during shipping, these are typically shipped deflated and require a pump.
Can I use this ball on concrete?
It is not recommended for concrete, as the abrasive surface will significantly decrease the lifespan of the ball.
What size is a size 5 ball?
A size 5 is the standard ball used for ages 12 and up, including all adult leagues.
Troubleshooting
The ball loses air pressure quickly.
Check for debris in the valve, re-inflate, and ensure the valve is properly lubricated.
The ball feels too light or 'bouncy'.
Use a pressure gauge to ensure you are not over-inflating; refer to the recommended PSI printed on the ball.
Surface scuffing after play.
While normal for match balls, clean gently with mild soap and water to keep the casing flexible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the ball performs at its best, follow these guidelines:
- Inflation: Use a standard ball pump with a lubricated needle. Inflate the ball to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, typically found near the valve.
- Valve Care: Always apply a drop of valve oil or water to the needle before insertion to protect the integrity of the internal bladder.
- Storage: Store the ball in a dry, room-temperature environment. Avoid leaving it in extreme heat (such as a car trunk) or freezing conditions, as this can degrade the materials.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth after matches to remove mud and dirt. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the panel coating.
