Mitre Impel One 24 Football - Size 4

No, the Mitre Impel One 24 Football is delivered deflated. You will need a ball pump and needle to inflate it before use.

This football is suitable for use on both natural grass pitches and artificial turf (Astro Turf) surfaces. It's designed for optimal performance in both environments.

Locate the inflation valve and gently insert a moistened pump needle. Inflate the ball gradually to the recommended pressure, which is usually printed near the valve. Avoid over-inflating.

While durable, the Mitre Impel One 24 Football is primarily designed as a training essential. It's excellent for honing skills, practice sessions, and casual games like 5-a-side, but might not meet official match ball standards for competitive leagues.

The Vimini surface texturing provides an enhanced grip on the ball. This allows players to get more 'bite' on the ball, making it easier to put spin on crosses, corners, and shots, and improving overall ball control.

The 3mm EVA foam base layer gives the ball a springy, cushioned feel. This contributes to better control and makes it easier to strike powerful long shots and deliver accurate long passes with ease.

After use, wipe down the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it's correctly inflated for storage to maintain its shape.

The new 6-panel configuration is an improvement that increases the ball's durability by 10% compared to previous models. This means it can withstand more intense and frequent training sessions without losing its shape or integrity as quickly.

Check the inflation pressure. Use a ball pump and pressure gauge to inflate or deflate the ball to the manufacturer's recommended PSI (Pounds per Square Inch), usually printed near the valve or on the ball itself.

Inspect the valve for any debris or damage. Try moistening the needle before inflation to ensure a good seal. If the problem persists, the internal bladder may be compromised, which might require professional repair or replacement.

Ensure the ball is adequately inflated, as under-inflation can reduce responsiveness. Practice striking the ball with different parts of your foot to engage the Vimini textured surface, focusing on the contact point to maximize spin.
