FAQs
Is this ball regulation weight for all age groups?
No, this ball is specifically a 'Light' version weighing 290g, designed for younger age groups (E, F, and Bambini) rather than regulation matches.
What does the SR bladder do?
The SR bladder is specialized for high air retention, meaning you spend less time inflating the ball and more time training.
Can this ball be used on artificial grass?
Yes, the durable construction is suitable for both natural grass and synthetic pitches.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Size 4 is the standard size for the E, F, and Bambini age groups mentioned in the product specifications.
Should I store the ball fully inflated?
It is generally better to store the ball at a standard training pressure rather than over-inflating it or storing it completely flat for long periods.
Troubleshooting
Ball loses air pressure quickly
Check the valve for debris or dust. Use a drop of valve oil to lubricate the opening and ensure the needle is inserted straight.
Surface scuffing or minor abrasion
Ensure the ball is being used on appropriate surfaces like grass or modern artificial turf. Avoid abrasive concrete surfaces which can tear the outer PU layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Stratos Light V23, it is recommended to moisten the ball inflation needle with a drop of valve oil or water before inserting it into the valve to prevent damage to the SR bladder. The ball should be stored in a dry, room-temperature environment when not in use. Avoid leaving the ball in extremely hot or cold temperatures, such as in a car trunk, as this can affect the pressure and the integrity of the synthetic materials. For cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the PU surface finish.
