Troubleshooting
Balls lose pressure quickly
Ensure the container is tightly sealed after opening. Store in a cool environment, as heat can degrade pressure faster.
Balls feel too soft or dead
These balls are designed to be softer and slower. If they feel unusually dead, check that they are not damaged or old, and ensure they are stored correctly.
Inconsistent bounce
Ensure balls are stored properly and have not been exposed to extreme conditions. Clean any dirt or debris that might affect the bounce.
