How to choose a durable football?

Footballs are divided into three materials:

1. PVC material:

The price is cheap. VC leather footballs are harder and more wear-resistant than PU footballs. They are more seriously affected by the climate, and are inherently easy to deform and bulge; they are easy to crack in winter; the foot feel is better than others, and it is suitable for friends who usually play football and the field environment is not very good.

2. PU material:

Advantages: The material feels better and softer. Most footballs and basketballs on the market are made of this material. The ball is less affected by temperature and is not easy to deform;

Disadvantages: It is not prohibited, and it is suitable for friends with high requirements and good field environment.

3. Genuine leather material:

The price is the highest, the genuine leather material is easy to absorb water, and it is easy to deform and mutate if it is not well maintained.

Football craftsmanship

I. Appearance

1. Hand-sewn football

The outer material of the football is sewn by hand, which is the most traditional way of making footballs with a long history.

2. Machine-sewn football

That is, the ball surface is sewn by machine, which is lower in cost and is mostly used in low-end training fields.

Note: The difference between hand-stitched and machine-stitched appearance is not particularly large, but the naked eye can still easily judge the difference between the two. The machine-stitched thread is thinner and denser. The hand-stitched thread is thicker and the stitching is tighter. When the football is under-inflated, the polygonal leather surface will bulge piece by piece.

3. Seamless thermal bonding ball

The appearance is integrated. That is, the outer material of the football is spliced by high-temperature heating adhesive, and no stitching is required. This is the usual production method of high-end match balls of big football equipment brands.

4 Mixed splicing

That is, the ball surface material uses both sewing and hot bonding, and has double insurance for waterproofness and durability.

2. Usage

1. Machine-stitched balls are prone to bulges at the seams of the leather surface, so they are more likely to wear in daily use, thus affecting the service life.

2. Because hand-stitched footballs are manually sewn, the workmanship must be more delicate, and the quality is relatively better than machine-stitched footballs.

3. There is no such worry for thermal bonding footballs.

Stitching:

This mainly depends on whether the stitching is dense. Let's not pursue high-end balls that are hand-sewn. There is basically no such thing, and it is also more expensive. It is best to find a ball with stitching that is not visible.

Details:

After you choose a football, you must inflate it to see the air tightness of the ball, whether it is leaking, whether it is a regular pattern, and whether there is any damage. Weigh it on your feet to see how it feels. Let the ball fall freely from a height of 15m to see its elasticity. If it can bounce to about 1m, it is ideal.

Leather identification:

From the corners, the base fabric of the heart is much thicker than PVC.

Feel:

The feel of the PVC is softer, and the feel of the pVC is harder. Another thing is that after pressing the PVC, the surface will feel wrinkled, while the pVC is smoother and flatter.

Size:

Most people play outdoor football, and the outdoor football is a No. 5 ball. If you play indoor football, buy a No. 4
