Troubleshooting
Ball not inflating properly
Ensure the pump needle is correctly inserted into the valve. Check that the valve is clear of debris and not damaged. Do not over-inflate the ball.
Ball losing air quickly
Check the valve for any leaks or damage. Ensure the valve cap is securely in place after inflation. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a puncture.
Ball shape is not round
Ensure the ball is inflated to the recommended pressure. If the ball has been stored improperly, try letting some air out and re-inflating it to allow the panels to settle.

This is typical wear and tear from regular use. For minor scuffs, cleaning with a damp cloth can help. Significant damage may affect performance.
