We designed the FIFA-approved Club Hybrid ball, which combines comfort with durability, for your training sessions and competitions.
Not even a scratch!
The most rigorous test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test. The ball must withstand 2,500 shots against a concrete slope at 50 km/h from a distance of 2.5 m. At the end of the test, we check: - the general condition of the ball: the stitching must withstand this test - perimeter: it must not have increased by more than 1.5 cm. - sphericity: it must not have changed by more than 1.8% - pressure: Pressure loss must not exceed 12.5%.
We also tested how much water the ball absorbs...
Here's how we test water absorption: We simulate rainy game conditions in a laboratory, letting the ball sit in 2 cm of water on a rotating support while undergoing 250 compressions. At the end of the test, the ball must have absorbed no more than 15% of its weight (FIFA Basic certification).
Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardized...
This ball weighs between 350 g and 390 g (size 4) and complies with official FIFA standards. Approved by FIFA Basic.
It's all about the bounce
Here's the bounce test: The ball is dropped onto a steel plate 10 times from a height of 2 meters. The bounce height must be between 115 and 155 cm with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the highest and lowest bounce of the ball.

A "round" ball?
Here's how we test sphericity: Average measured variation: Maximum 1.8% (FIFA Basic certification). We measure the sphericity of the football at 4500 different points and then examine any changes. If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Basic Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.
The durability of our balls
We have developed a tool to characterize the durability of our balls. Defects that appear during use are identified and evaluated through a series of laboratory tests. These tests allow us to compare the overall strength of our footballs with those available on the market. Our goal: to have the most durable products on the market.
The story behind this ball
Our design team created this hybrid ball after observing football players in action on the field. This ball is hybrid because its design combines the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the durability of a hand-stitched ball (the seams are on the inside). We also used a special bladder (2 km of thread are wound around it) to ensure stable inflation and better sphericity.
Maximum pressure loss test: here's what we do...
Here's how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (i.e., 0.8 bar). 72 hours later, the ball should not have lost more than 15% of its pressure, which means approximately 0.1 bar (FIFA Basic certification). The pressure after 72 hours should therefore be approximately 0.7 bar. This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.
How big is it? What is the perimeter?
This ball measures between 63.5 cm and 66.0 cm (size 4) and complies with official FIFA standards. Approved by FIFA Basic.
