What is the recommended pressure for the ball?

Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted into the valve and that the pump is functional. Check the valve for any obstructions.
Ball losing air quickly
Check the valve for damage or debris. Ensure the pump needle was not left in the valve after inflation. Inspect the ball for any punctures or seam damage.
Surface feels slippery
Wipe the ball with a dry cloth to remove any dust or residue. Ensure hands are clean and dry before handling.
Ball shape is distorted
Deflate the ball completely, then re-inflate it carefully to the correct pressure. Ensure it is not stored under heavy weight.
