FIFA Basic Club Ball Hybrid Football, Size 4, White

Approved by FIFA for your training and competitions, we have designed the CLUB HYBRID, a ball combining good comfort of use and resistance.

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%

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 15% of its weight (FIFA BASIC approval).

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

This ball weighs between 350g and 390g (size 4) and meets official FIFA standards. FIFA BASIC approval.

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 115 and 155 cm with a maximum difference of 10 cm between the highest and lowest bounce per ball.

A round ball, really?

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

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.

This ball has a story for you

It was by observing football players on their playing field that our design team thought of and designed this Hybrid football. Hybrid because in the design of this ball we mixed the comfort of a machine-sewn ball with the resistance of a hand-sewn ball (the seams are inside). In addition, we chose a specific bladder (2 km of threads that wind the bladder) to guarantee you a more resistant inflation and a better sphericity

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 BASIC approval). The pressure after 72 hours should therefore be approximately 0,7 bar. This also means that it is perfectly normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

What size, what circumference?

This ball is between 63,5cm and 66,0cm (size 4) and meets official FIFA standards. FIFA BASIC approval.

Need a football for your club? With the CLUB BALL FIFA BASIC, opt for 2 layers of foam for more comfort, and invisible seams for great resistance.
