Hybrid 2 FIFA Quality Match Ball Size 5 White Football

FIFA QUALITY approved for your training and competitions, we have designed the MATCH BALL HYBRID 2; a durable ball with great playing sensations.

Not even hurt !

The most demanding test we put this ball through is the machine shooting test. The ball must withstand 2500 shots against a concrete incline at 50 km/h from a distance of 2,5 m. At the end of this test, we check: - the general condition of the ball: the seams must withstand this test - the circumference: it must not have increased by more than 1,5 cm - the sphericity: it must not have varied by more than 1,8% - the pressure: the ball must not have lost more than 12,5%

The resistance of our balloons

We've developed a tool that allows us to characterize the durability of our balls. Defects that appear during use are identified and evaluated through a series of laboratory tests. These tests allow us to compare the overall durability of our soccer balls with those available on the market. Our goal: to have the most durable products on the market.

The history of our range of balloons

The ball offering was co-designed with 244 European football players: the colors, names, and easy understanding of each model were chosen with this community. FIFA-approved, these balls reveal a step up in range through their use and technicality (Training, Club, Match, Pro Ball). More resistance, a better feel to get closer and closer to the official ball that treads the pitches of Ligue 1 Uber Eats and Ligue 2 BKT.

Too light ? Too heavy ? The weight is standard...

This ball weighs between 410g and 450g (size 5) and meets official FIFA standards. FIFA QUALITY approved.

A round ball, really?

Here is the sphericity test: Variation from the measured average: maximum 1,8% (FIFA QUALITY approval). We measure the sphericity of the ball at 4500 different points and examine the observed deviations. Beyond 1,8% deviation (FIFA QUALITY standard), our engineers are tasked with improving sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.

Maximum pressure loss test: we tell you...

Here's the pressure loss test: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (0,8 bar). 72 hours later, the ball should not have lost more than 15% of its pressure, or approximately 0,1 bar (FIFA QUALITY approval). The pressure after 72 hours should therefore be approximately 0,7 bar. This also means that it is completely normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

We also tested the water absorption of the balloon...

Here is the water absorption test: In the laboratory, we simulate playing conditions in the rain by soaking the ball in 2 cm of water on a rotating support while applying 250 compressions. At the end of the test, the ball must not have gained more than 10% of its weight (FIFA QUALITY approval).

A beach ball?

We know that trajectory stability is very important, whether for players and/or goalkeepers, especially for long games or shots. In order to guarantee very good stability, we have changed the construction of the outer shell. Traditionally designed with 32 panels, we have developed the MATCH BALL with 24 identical panels. This improves the stability of the ball in the air and therefore makes it more pleasant to play.

What size, what circumference?

This ball is sized between 68,0cm and 70,0cm (size 5) and meets official FIFA standards. FIFA QUALITY approved.

This ball has a story for you HYBRID 2

It was by observing football players on their playing field that our design team thought up and designed this Hybrid 2 football. A patented technology allowing us to obtain an even more reliable and comfortable ball, combined with a "cloth wrap" bladder for great sphericity and technicality.

When the rebound goes, everything goes

Here is the bounce test: The ball is dropped 10 times onto a steel plate from a height of 2 meters. The variation in bounce height must be between 125 and 155 cm with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the highest and lowest bounce per ball.
