Troubleshooting

Ball loses air pressure quickly

Pros and Cons

  • Extremely durable construction for heavy-duty use
  • Consistent shape retention after repeated impact

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your ONeills football, you will need a standard ball pump equipped with a tapered inflation needle. Gently moisten the needle with a drop of water or silicone oil before inserting it into the valve to prevent damaging the internal bladder. Inflate the ball to the manufacturer-recommended pressure; avoid over-inflation, as this can place unnecessary stress on the stitching and affect flight characteristics.

For long-term care, store the ball in a dry, room-temperature environment when not in use. Avoid leaving the ball in extremely hot or cold conditions, such as the trunk of a car, as temperature fluctuations can weaken the bladder over time. After play, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove mud and grit, which can act as an abrasive if left to dry on the outer shell.
