Design
By observing Futsal players on the pitch and listening to their specific requests for changes to our balls, our design team came up with this lighter Hybrid Futsal ball (350 grams compared with 400 to 450 grams for a classic FS100 ball IMVISO ).
This ball is a hybrid because in its design, we have combined the comfort of machine stitching with the strength of hand stitching.
Circumference
Between 62.5cm and 63.5cm.
Sphericity
Variation of the measured average: maximum 1.5%.
We measure the sphericity of the ball at 16 different points and look at the deviations observed.
If the deviation exceeds 1.5% (FIFA PRO standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to guarantee a regular rebound.
Maximum pressure loss
20% in 72 hours.
Rebound
Between 55cm and 65cm with a maximum difference of 10cm between the highest and lowest bounce per ball. Each ball is released 10 times onto a steel plate from a height of 2 meters.
Precision
Our design team rolls the ball down an inclined plane towards a table. The orientation of the stroke and the variation in the stroke angle are measured: maximum deviation of 5° tolerated.
Shape retention and pressure
The balloon withstands 2,500 shots against an inclined concrete surface at 50km/h from a distance of 2.5m.
Increase in circumference by a maximum of 1.5cm.
Change in sphericity by a maximum of 1.5% and a pressure change of a maximum of 0.1 bar.
Futsal passion at the heart of our design!
Based at Kipstadium (a site with several practice fields) in Northern France, a team of enthusiasts work specifically on Futsal. These men and women at DECATHLON imagine and design products and services exclusive to this sport.
We are constantly striving to improve the comfort and safety of Futsal players.
