FAQs
What is the recommended inflation pressure for this ball?
While specific pressure is not listed, it is recommended to inflate the ball to a firm but not overly hard state. Typically, footballs of this size require between 6-8 PSI. Avoid over-inflation.
Is this ball suitable for official matches?
This ball is designed as a high-quality training ball, inspired by professional league balls. For official matches, it is recommended to use balls specifically certified for match play.
What materials is the ball made of?
The ball is constructed with a 48% Rubber Bladder, 25% PU, 20% EVA, and 7% Polyester.
How should I clean the football?
Wipe the ball with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the ball in water.
Does the ball come inflated?
No, the ball is shipped deflated. You will need to inflate it before its first use.
What does '16-panel concept' mean?
This refers to the design and construction of the ball, where it is divided into 16 individual panels. This design is common in footballs and influences its aerodynamic properties and consistency.
What is the PAL valve?
PAL stands for PUMA Air Lock. This valve technology is designed to provide excellent air retention, helping the ball stay inflated for longer periods.
Troubleshooting
Ball is not inflating
Ensure the pump needle is securely inserted into the valve. Check if the valve is clear of debris. If the valve is damaged, contact customer support.
Ball loses air quickly
Check the PAL valve for any signs of damage or obstruction. Ensure the valve is properly seated. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a leak.
Ball feels too hard or too soft
Inflate or deflate the ball to the recommended pressure. Over-inflation can make the ball too hard, while under-inflation affects its bounce and performance.
Stitching is coming undone
Minor fraying can be trimmed. For significant damage to the stitching, it may indicate a manufacturing defect. Contact the retailer or PUMA customer service.
