This balloon has a story for you
This ball was born in the sand! Co-designed in partnership with the world's leading beach soccer player, Madjer (named best player in the world 5 times), and tested by world-class athletes on the beaches of Portugal.
Hybrid ball: in designing this ball, we combined the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the resistance of a hand-stitched ball.
A beach soccer ball?
We know that trajectory stability is very important, whether for players and/or goalkeepers, particularly for long play or shots. To guarantee excellent stability, we have changed the construction of the outer shell. We have developed the BS pro with 6 identical panels and a smooth outer component. This improves the ball's stability in the air, making it more pleasant to play.
Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardized...
This beach soccer ball weighs between 420g and 440g (size 5) and meets official FIFA standards.
FIFA Quality pro certification.
What size, what circumference?
The size of this ball is between 68cm and 70cm (size 5) and meets official FIFA standards.
FIFA quality Pro certification.
A round ball, really?
Here's the sphericity test:
Variation from measured average: maximum 1.8% (FIFA Quality Pro certification)
We measure the sphericity of the ball at 4,500 different points and look at the deviations.
Maximum pressure loss test: we tell you...
Here's the pressure loss test:
We inflate the balloon to the recommended pressure (i.e. 0.6 bar).
72 hours later, the balloon should have lost no more than 15% of its pressure, i.e. around 0.1 bar. The pressure after 72 hours should therefore be around 0.5 bar.
This also means that it's perfectly normal for a balloon to lose pressure after a few days.
We also tested the balloon's water absorption ...
Here's the water absorption test:
In the laboratory, we simulate playing conditions in the rain by soaking the ball in 2 cm of water on a pivoting support while applying 250 compressions.
At the end of the test, the ball must not have gained more than 10% of its weight.
Shape retention and pressure
The most demanding test we put this ball through is the machine kick test.
Withstands 2,500 kicks against an inclined concrete surface at 50km/h from a distance of 2.5m.
At the end of this test, we check:
- the general condition of the ball: the seams must withstand this test
- the circumference: it must not have increased by more than 1.5 cm
- the sphericity: it must not have varied by more than 1.8%
- the pressure: the ball must not have lost more than 0.1 bar
