Troubleshooting
Ball is not holding air
Check the valve for any debris and ensure the inflation needle is inserted correctly. If the problem persists, the bladder may need replacement.
Ball appears misshapen
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. If over-inflated, slightly deflate and re-inflate to the recommended PSI. Allow time for the ball to regain its shape.
Surface scuffing or damage
Minor scuffs are normal with use on abrasive surfaces. For significant damage, consider using the ball only on softer surfaces or replacing it.
