BALL USAGE & SUITABILITYBALL CARE ANDPRESSURECare should be takenwhen inserting the inflationneedle into the ball toprevent damaging thevalve and bladder. MitreGlycerine should be usedto allow the needle to beinserted smoothly. Thisis particularly importanton initial inflation as thewall of the bladder can bepunctured if the needle ispushed in too far beforeany air is pumped in.The amount of pressurein a ball will significantlyaffect the performanceand durability of theball. Pressure should bechecked regulary as notonly do balls gradually loseair through the wall of thebladder, but temperaturecan also alter the pressureby 1 psi for every 10 C.The recommendedpressure is printed on theball and this should bechecked regulary with aMitre pressure gauge.If the ball gets wet duringplay, it should be dried inan airy place and not forcedried with heat as this maydamage the ball.RECOMMENDEDSIZESAges 6-9 Size 3Ages 9-14 Size 4Ages 14 plus Size 5BALL QUALITY ANDSUITABILITYPRODesigned to deliverperformance andmanufactured to highestand tightest specification.Developed with Pro clubsthroughout Europe.

All have one thingin common they react withthe ball like hard ground,increasing the bounce.Also many have muchless drag/grip on the ballthan natural turf. Becauseof this we normallyrecommend reduced ballpressure to 7-9psi to slowdown the ball and grainfinish material to increasethe drag.A part worn shiny ballalso gives this effect.Many artificial pitches aresurrounded by fences andwalls which can easilydamage the ball so wehighly recommend moreeconomic balls to reducethe cost of replacingdamaged balls.SYNTHETICSURFACESAsphalt and treatedconcrete. Not all syntheticsurfaces are astro turf. Onmost, abrasion is the mainproblem and we have arange of economic trainingballs and high abrasionmatch balls which willcope with these surfaces.SPORTS HALLWooden tiles, carpet andindoor pitches. All aredry so water absorptionis not a problem, butthe abrasiveness varieswidely so it is importantto consider this beforerecommending anyparticular ball. Somegames have specialrequirements such as lowor reduced rebound andMitre has reduced reboundballs for Futsal, indoor,calcetto and Futebol deSalao.NATURAL TURFNatural turf pitches varyenormously in differentcountries, differentseasons and differentlevels of play. As wellas performance levelwe need to considerabrasion, water absorptionand required use beforerecommending balls fornatural turf. If the ball is tobe used for training onlythen economy anddurability are mostimportant, if to be used fora match or match practicethen performance is moreimportant.177
