Troubleshooting
Ball is losing air rapidly after inflation.
Check the inflation valve for any debris or damage. Ensure the needle was fully inserted during inflation. If the problem persists, the bladder may have a leak and require professional repair or replacement.
Ball feels lopsided or does not maintain a round shape.
Ensure the ball was inflated evenly. Deflate the ball completely, then re-inflate slowly while rotating it to help the panels settle correctly. If the issue persists, there might be an internal manufacturing defect.
Graphics are peeling or fading.
Avoid excessive scrubbing or using abrasive cleaners. Clean the ball gently with a damp cloth. Exposure to harsh weather conditions or prolonged direct sunlight can also contribute to fading.
