Ball feels too hard or stiff
This is common with new leather balls. Use the ball for several practice sessions to help it naturally soften and conform to standard playing conditions.
Leather surface looks dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for sports equipment and gently rub it into the surface. Allow it to absorb before the next use.

Ensure the ball is stored properly in a consistent shape. If the unevenness is minor, continued use on a suitable surface should help normalize its form.
