FAQs
What size is this football?

What material is the cover made of?
The cover is made of 100% TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane).
Does the ball come inflated?
No, the football requires inflation before use.
What type of surface is this ball best for?
This training model is designed and recommended for use on natural turf.
How durable is this football?

What is the benefit of the butyl bladder?
The butyl bladder provides excellent air retention, helping the ball maintain its shape and pressure for longer periods.
Can this ball be used in wet conditions?
Yes, the TPU cover offers some resistance to moisture. However, it's recommended to wipe it dry after use in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Ball not inflating
Ensure the inflation needle is fully inserted into the valve and that the pump is functioning correctly. Check the valve for any debris.
Ball losing air quickly
The butyl bladder may have a minor leak. Ensure the valve is properly sealed. If the issue persists, the bladder may need replacement, which is not typically feasible for training balls.
Ball feels flat or doesn't bounce well
Re-inflate the ball to the correct pressure. Over time, bladders can lose their elasticity; ensure consistent inflation for best results.
Surface scuffing or peeling
Minor scuffing is normal with use on natural turf. Avoid abrasive surfaces. If peeling occurs, it may indicate excessive wear or exposure to harsh conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This football requires inflation before its first use and periodically to maintain optimal pressure. Use a standard football needle and pump. Ensure the needle is lubricated before insertion to prevent damage to the valve.
Compatibility:
Designed and recommended for use on natural turf surfaces. While it can be used on other surfaces, its durability and performance characteristics are optimized for grass.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use, especially after playing on wet or muddy surfaces.
- Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ensure the ball is correctly inflated to its recommended pressure (check valve area for guidance if available, otherwise a firm feel is generally suitable).
- Avoid leaving the ball in a car trunk during hot weather to prevent excessive heat exposure.
