Product Information
Full details
The Mitre Ultimax Evo 26 is designed for elite-level players and serious athletes seeking high-performance match-day equipment that balances speed with precision. Its primary benefit lies in its sophisticated aerodynamics and durable construction, which offer consistent flight and touch in various conditions. While it is an industry-leading ball for professional play, recreational users may find its specialized construction and firm, responsive feel less forgiving than standard training balls.

FAQs
Is this ball suitable for training sessions?
While it can be used for training, it is specifically designed and certified for elite match play.
Can I use this ball on artificial grass?
Yes, the Ultimax Evo 26 is designed for use on both grass and astro pitches.
How do I inflate it properly?
Use a ball pump with a lubricated needle and ensure you do not exceed the recommended PSI.
Is it water-resistant?
Yes, the Hyperseal thermal bonding prevents water absorption, keeping the ball light in wet weather.
Does it come inflated?
No, the ball is shipped deflated to prevent damage during transit.
What size should I buy for adult matches?

Troubleshooting
The ball seems to lose pressure quickly.
Check the valve for debris or use a drop of silicon valve oil. Ensure you are not over-inflating beyond the recommended PSI.
Surface scuffs appearing after match use.
While normal, avoid playing on rough concrete surfaces to preserve the outer foam coating and aerodynamics.
Ball feels heavy or erratic.
Check that the pressure is set correctly to manufacturer standards; under-inflation can cause erratic movement.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, inflate the ball to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure (usually 8-10 PSI). Always use a lubricated needle to prevent damaging the valve. Regarding compatibility, this ball is optimized for high-level play on grass and artificial pitches. To maintain its longevity, avoid using the ball on abrasive concrete or gravel surfaces, which will tear the outer skin. After matches, wipe the ball with a damp cloth to remove grit and mud, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the synthetic materials over time.
