Setup, Compatibility & Care

No specialized setup is required; the ball is ready for use immediately upon removing it from the packaging. It is compatible with all standard field hockey sticks and can be used on both water-based and sand-dressed artificial turf.

To ensure the longevity of the ball, avoid storing it in extreme heat for extended periods, as plastic materials can warp. After use, wipe the ball down with a soft, damp cloth to remove grit and turf rubber. Inspect the surface periodically for deep gouges, as these can affect the ball's roll and trajectory.
