How durable is the hand-stitched construction?

Troubleshooting

Sliotar feels too hard or too soft.

The moulded core is designed for consistency. If a significant deviation is suspected, ensure the ball has been stored correctly and has not been exposed to extreme temperatures. For persistent issues, contact customer support.

Stitching appears to be coming undone.

While hand-stitched for durability, excessive force or abrasion could cause minor fraying. Inspect the stitching and, if significant, discontinue use and contact customer support for a warranty evaluation.

Ball not bouncing consistently.

Ensure the pitch conditions are consistent and free from debris. Check that the sliotar has not been damaged or punctured. If the issue persists on a standard surface, it may indicate a manufacturing defect. Contact customer support.
