This balloon has a story for you
To make sure your ball can withstand all your stresses and strains, we've put it through a series of laboratory and field tests.
Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardized...
Your ball should weigh between 120g and 150g.
What size, what circumference?
The size of this balloon is between 43.0cm and 44.0cm.
A round ball, really?
We measure the ball's sphericity at 4,500 different points and look at the deviations observed.
If the deviation exceeds 2%, our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to guarantee a regular rebound.
A balloon with plenty of air!
This mini ball has no air-filled bladder.
It has a 100% foam core, so it's always ready to play, and puncture-proof.
We also tested the balloon's water absorption...
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 15% of its weight.
