Size 5 Hybrid Beach Soccer Ball Light - White/Orange

This ball was born for the sand! Co-designed in partnership with beach soccer star, Madjer (named best player in the world 5 times) and tested by kids on Portuguese beaches.We designed this ball with the comfort of a machine-sewn ball and the robustness of a hand-sewn ball, making it a truly hybrid piece.

This ball is considered light because it is about 15% lighter than a regular size 5 beach soccer ball. What difference does that make? Thanks to its weight, young football players can kick or head the ball more comfortably. It's also easier to aim and execute long passes.

The size of this ball is between 68.0 cm and 70.0 cm (size 5).

Here's how we test sphericity:Average measured variation: maximum 1.8%.We measure the football's sphericity at 4500 different points and examine the recorded discrepancies.

Here's how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the max pressure (0.6 bar).72 hours later, the ball must not lose more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar. The pressure after 72 hours must, therefore, be at approx. 0.5 bar.This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

Here's how we test water absorption:We simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, leaving the ball to sit in 2 cm of water on a pivoting support whilst subjecting it to 250 compressions.At the end of the test, the ball must have absorbed no more than 15% of its weight.

The most stringent test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test.The ball must resist 2,500 shoots against a concrete slope at 50 km/h at a distance of 2.5 m.At the end of the test, we check:- the ball's general state: stitching must withstand this test- the circumference: must not have increased by more than 1.5 cm.- the sphericity: it must not have varied by over 1.8%- the pressure: loss of pressure must not exceed 15%.
