The ball is durable and offers great feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNot even a scratch!\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most stringent test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test.\nThe ball must resist 2,500 shoots against a concrete slope at 50 km\/h at a distance of 2.5 m.\nAt the end of the test, we check:\n- the ball's general state: stitching must withstand this test\n- the circumference: must not have increased by more than 1.5 cm.\n- the sphericity: it must not have varied by over 1.8%\n- the pressure: loss of pressure must not exceed 12.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe durability of our balls\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe've developed a tool for characterising the durability of our balls.\nDefects that appear in use are identified and assessed through a series of laboratory tests.\nThese tests enable us to compare the overall strength of our footballs with those available on the market.\nOur aim: to have the most durable products on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe story behind our range of balls\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur range of balls has been co-designed with 244 European footballers. This community helped us to pick the colours and names so that it's easy to see the difference between the models.\n\nThese balls are FIFA approved and designed to meet different levels of technical requirement (Training, Club, Match, Pro Ball).\n\nTheir increased durability and better feel bring them ever closer to the official ball that graces the pitches of the Ligue 1 Uber Eats and Ligue 2 BKT.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eToo light? Too heavy? The weight is standardised...\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball weighs between 410 g and 450 g (size 5) and complies with official FIFA standards.\nFIFA Quality certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA \"round\" ball?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's how we test sphericity:\nAverage measured variation: 1.8% max (FIFA Quality standard).\nWe measure the football's sphericity at 4500 different points and then examine any differences.\nIf the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Quality standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaximum pressure loss test: here's what we do...\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar).\n72 hours later, the ball must not have lost more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar (FIFA Quality standard). The pressure after 72 hours must, therefore, be at approx. 0.7 bar.\nThis also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWe've also tested how much water the ball absorbs...\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere's how we test water absorption:\nWe 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.\nAt the end of the test, the ball must have absorbed no more than 10% of its weight (FIFA Quality standard).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow about you?

To ensure very good stability, we have changed the construction of the outer layer. Balls are traditionally made with 32 panels, but we've designed this match ball using 24 identical panels. This improves the stability of the ball and makes it more comfortable to play with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow big is it?
