Main Material

It's important that young soccer players use the right ball size, no matter their age.
Size 3 for < 9 year olds.

Size 4 between 9 and 12 years.
Size 5 for over 12 year olds.

In addition, we have conducted numerous lab and field tests to guarantee the ball's ability to withstand every hit.

The story behind this ball

Ball weight: Between 410 and 450 g (Size 5)Between 350 and 390 g (Size 4)Between 290 and 335 g (Size 3)

Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardized.


Ball circumference: Between 68 and 70 cm (26.7' and 27.6') (size 5).Between 63.5 and 66 cm (25' and 26') (Size 4).Between 58.0 and 60.0 cm (22.8' and 23.6') (Size 3).

How big is it? What’s the circumference?

Average measured variation: maximum of 2%.
We measure the ball’s sphericity at 4,500 different points and then examine any discrepancies. 
If the discrepancy is greater than 2% (FIFA Pro Standard), our engineers work on improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.

A round ball?

We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (11.6 psi).
The ball cannot lose more than 15% of its pressure over the next 72 hours, meaning a maximum pressure loss of 1.5 psi. The pressure after 72 hours must be approximately 10.1 psi.
This also means that it’s quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

Maximum pressure loss test: here’s what we do.

To simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, we put the ball in 2 cm of water on a pivoting support and subjected it to 250 compressions.
By the end of the test, the ball must not have absorbed more than 15% of its weight. For this ball, it means a maximum of 65 g.

We’ve also tested how much water the ball absorbs.

Between 125 and 155 cm (size 5) with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the ball's highest and lowest bounce. Each ball is dropped 10 times on a steel plate from a height of 2 m.Between 115 and 155 cm (42.3' and 61.0') for size 3 and size 4 balls.

It’s all about the bounce

The most demanding test this ball undergoes is the machine shot test.
The ball must resist up to 2,500 shots against an inclined flat concrete slab at 50 km/h at a distance of 2.5 m.
At the end of the test, we check:
- The ball’s general condition: Stitching must remain intact.
- Circumference: Must not have varied by more than 1.5 cm.

- Sphericity: Must not have varied by more than 2%.
- Air pressure: Pressure loss must not exceed 15%

The FIFA-approved Club Hybrid ball pairs comfort with durability. 

bladder type

This hybrid ball was created after observing soccer players in action.
This ball's hybrid design combines the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the durability of a hand-sewn one (the seams are on the inside).We've also used a special bladder (2 km [1 mi] of thread is wrapped around it) to ensure lasting inflation and better sphericity.

We have developed a tool that allows us to measure the our balls' durability.
We identify and evaluate all possible defects through a series of practical lab tests.
We use these tests to compare our soccer balls' overall durability with that of others available on the market.Our aim is to offer the most durable products on the market.

Prioritizing durability

This ball complies with official FIFA standards and weighs between 410 g and 450 g [14 1/2 and 16 oz.] (size 5).
FIFA Basic-approved.

This ball measures between 68.0 cm and 70.0 cm (27 and 27 1/2") and complies with official FIFA standards.
FIFA Basic approved.

Here’s how we test sphericity:
Average measured variation: 1.8% max (FIFA Basic standard).
We measure the ball’s sphericity at 4,500 different points and then examine any differences. 
If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8% (FIFA Basic standard), our engineers work on improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.

Here’s how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (11.6 psi).
The ball cannot lose more than 15% of its pressure over 72 hours, meaning a maximum pressure loss of 1.5 psi (FIFA Basic standard). The pressure after 72 hours must be approximately 10.1 psi.
This also means that it’s quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

Here’s how we test water absorption:
To simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, we put the ball in 2 cm (1") of water on a pivoting support and subject it to 250 compressions.
At the end of testing, the ball must have absorbed no more than 15% of its weight (FIFA Basic certification).

Here’s the bounce test: 
The ball is dropped onto a steel plate 10 times from a height of 2 metres (2 yd).
 The bounce height must be between 125 cm and 155 cm (49" and 61"), with a maximum difference of 10 cm (4") between its highest and lowest bounce.

The most rigorous test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test.
The ball must resist 2,500 shoots against a concrete slope at 50 km/h (30 mi/h) at a distance of 2.5 m (3 yd).
At the end of the test, we check:
- The ball’s general condition: Stitching must remain intact
- Circumference: Must not have varied by more than 1.5 cm (3/5").
- Sphericity: Must not have varied by more than 1.8%
Pressure: Pressure loss must not exceed 12.5%

Our soccer ball range is co-designed with 244 European soccer players. This community helped us to pick the colours and names so that it's easy to see the difference between the models.

These balls are FIFA approved and designed to meet different levels of technical requirement (Practice, Games, Pro Ball).

Their increased durability and better feel bring them ever closer to the official ball that graces the playing fields of the Ligue 1 Uber Eats and Ligue 2 BKT.

We really can’t stress this enough: a well-inflated ball is the key to (or at least a key part of) a great game! Make sure you follow the instructions and inflate your ball properly.Did you know that a beach volleyball should be less inflated than an indoor volleyball? 0.18 to 0.22 bars for a beach volleyball, and 0.3 bars for an indoor volleyball. 
If you don’t have a pump with a pressure gauge, just touch it: it should be very soft and flexible to the touch.

Always inflate it to the right pressure!

This model is designed with a reinforced bladder to limit punctures and deformations. Our beach volleyball has been lab tested. The ball withstands 5,000 shots on a cement plate at a speed of 50 km/h and does not warp.

How big is the SB 100 Basketball Hoop Set?

When you mount your basketball hoop to the wall, the height cannot be adjusted and the board is flush against the wall.
A wall attachment is great for family fun because it adjusts to all player ages and skill levels. 
The SB 100, SB 300 and SB 700 basketball backboards are compatible with the 500 wall attachment (8496982) that offers 3 playing heights.

Why use a special Tarmak wall mount for your basketball backboard?

The hardware required to mount your basketball hoop set will depend on the wall where you plan to hang it. If unsure, ask your local hardware store for advice.
If you want your hoop to be at regulation height, the rim should be at 3.05 m (10').
We also recommend that you never hang from the rim to prevent weakening the mounting system.

How do you fix a basketball backboard to the wall?

The ball size depends on the player's age and gender.
Toddlers: size 1 to 3.
Kids under 10: size 5.
Girls aged 10 and up, women, and boys aged 10 to 12: size 6.
Boys over 12 and men: size 7

For durability, choose a rubber ball. If you want a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic are the right materials.
