Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Ensure the pump needle is fully inserted into the valve and is not blocked. Check if the valve itself is obstructed.
Ball losing air quickly
Check the valve for leaks or damage. Ensure the pump needle was not left in the valve after inflation. Re-inflate and check for slow leaks.
Ball shape is not round
Ensure the ball is inflated to the correct pressure. If the shape issue persists after proper inflation, it may indicate a manufacturing defect.
