A training football built with a soft EVA backing and textured outer for easier handling. Construction focuses on grip and predictable performance across common training surfaces.
Better ball control – With Vimini outer texture and soft EVA foam backing
The Vimini outer texture increases surface friction while the EVA foam backing gives a softer rebound on contact. Together they lower unpredictable bounces and create a gentler first touch.
Easier control helps young players learn passing and dribbling with less frustration. Practising technical drills feels more forgiving and encourages longer training sessions.
Durability for regular practice – Thanks to PU outer and 30-panel construction
A PU outer provides abrasion resistance suited to frequent use, while the 30-panel layout spreads impact stress evenly across the ball. Bonded and stitched joins further reinforce seam strength.
Durable construction stands up to repeated training and casual matches. The ball keeps a consistent feel through many sessions, so clubs and families can rely on it for regular practice.
Consistent performance in wet conditions – With Hyperseam TM bonded and stitched seams
Hyperseam TM bonding combined with stitching minimises gaps between panels and prevents rapid water absorption. Reduced water uptake helps maintain intended weight and balance when the surface is damp.
Playable performance holds up during light rain or on dewy pitches. Training sessions remain predictable without the ball becoming heavy or misshapen.
