It's lighter than a traditional football, making it easier for kids to learn to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe story behind this ball\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter carrying out multiple observations over a long period of time, our team designed this lighter ball while retaining all of the technical characteristics of a traditional football.\nThe wound bladder (2 km of thread is wrapped around the bladder) ensures robust inflation and better sphericity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLighter than a regular ball\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball is considered light because it is about 15% lighter than a regular size 5 football. 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, do long passes and score goals.A guaranteed hit!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eToo light? Too heavy? The weight is standardised...\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weight of this ball is between 340 g and 360 g compared with 410 g and 450 g for a traditional size 5 football.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow big is it? What's the circumference?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe size of this ball is between 68.0 cm and 70.0 cm (size 5).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA \"round\" ball?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe measure the football's sphericity at 4500 different points and then examine any differences.\nIf the discrepancy is greater than 1,8% (FIFA PRO 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\u003eWe inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar).\n72 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. 0.7 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\u003eWe 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.\nBy the end of the test, this ball must not have absorbed more than 15% of its weight, or approx. 50 g for size 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIt's all about the bounce\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween 125 and 155 cm with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the ball's highest and lowest bounce. Each ball is dropped 10 times on a steel plate from 2 metres in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNot even a scratch!\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most demanding test that this ball is subjected to is the machine shot test.\nThe ball must resist up to 2500 shots against an inclined flat concrete slab 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: the stitching must withstand this test.\n- the circumference: it must not have increased by more than 1.5 cm.\n- the sphericity: it must not have varied by more than 1.8%.\n- the pressure: loss of pressure must not exceed 12.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow about you?
