Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the ball performs at its best, follow these guidelines:
- Inflation: Always use a pressure gauge to inflate the ball to the recommended PSI (usually 8.5 to 10.5 PSI). Avoid over-inflation to prevent stress on the internal bladder.
- Needle Care: Lubricate the inflation needle with a drop of silicone oil or water before inserting it into the valve to prevent damaging the seal.
- Surface Usage: Use only on natural grass or FIFA-quality artificial turf. Avoid rough surfaces like asphalt or gravel to prevent skin abrasion.
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth after matches. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging in water for extended periods.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can weaken the outer material over time.
