Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Ensure the inflation needle is correctly inserted into the valve and that the pump is functional. Check the valve for any debris.
Ball loses air quickly
Check for any punctures or ensure the valve seal is intact. Re-inflate and monitor for air loss. If the issue persists, the bladder may need replacement.
Ball shape is uneven
Ensure the ball has been inflated to the correct pressure. Let it sit for 24 hours after initial inflation. If the shape does not correct, check for internal damage.
Poor flight stability
Verify the ball is correctly inflated. Ensure the Aerowsculpt grooves are clean and free from obstructions. The ball's performance is also dependent on player technique.
