Troubleshooting
Ball is deflated or losing air quickly
Check the inflation needle for damage or debris. Ensure the valve is properly seated. Re-inflate the ball and check for leaks. If leaks persist, the bladder may be compromised.
Ball feels uneven or misshapen
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. Rotate the ball to check for unevenness. If the shape does not correct with proper inflation, there might be an internal issue.
Casing appears scuffed or worn
This is normal wear and tear from use on various surfaces. Clean the ball with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, gentle cleaning may improve appearance, but performance is generally unaffected.
