Troubleshooting

Ball won't inflate

Ensure the pump needle is correctly inserted into the valve and that the pump is functioning. Check that the valve is not blocked or damaged.

Ball loses air quickly

Check the valve for any leaks or damage. Ensure the pump needle was inserted correctly and did not puncture the inner bladder. If the issue persists, the bladder may be faulty.

Ball shape seems off

Ensure the ball has been inflated to the recommended pressure. Over-inflation can distort the shape. If the ball was supplied deflated, ensure it is properly inflated before use.

Surface marks or scuffs

Clean the ball with a damp cloth. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear for synthetic materials and do not typically affect performance for recreational use.
