TYPE OF ASSEMBLY
recommended for football training
This is the traditional technique guaranteeing a high-quality standard. The soccer ball panels are assembled by hand. The yarn used is thicker, allowing a wider variety of component thicknesses, which gives soccer balls a better touch, enhances strength and sphericity.
adapted for entry level balls
The new standard for “merchandising / training” ball. The football panels are assembled using a sewing machine. The micro-sewing technique allows precise assembly and protects the sewing threads by making them almost invisible. Innovative materials (textured appearance) can be used to give the balls a high-end look.
ideal for football compétition
Heat-sealing is the most recent technical advancement in the manufacture of soccer balls, especially of those for competition. The panels are heat-sealed, which gives the ball a maximum waterproof efficiency and a sphericity perfection.
DESIGN/STRUCTURE
Balls are made of materials that define their characteristics :
THE BLADDER
The butyl bladder promotes air retention, while the latex bladder allows better rebound.
THE MAIN COMPONENT
There are 3 types of components, classified from least resistant to more robust, in increasing order of range: rubber, PVC and polyurethane (PU).
NB : To make the component more resistant and keep good sphericity in the bladder, the main component is laminated with textile.
It is then cut into panels, assembled to form the ball.
ASSEMBLY
There are 3 types of ball assembly, adapted to all kinds of practices: hand-made, machine-made and heat-sealed ball.
