Kipsta is the classic British football maker, their unique designs have proved popular. Krista is also the Sky-Bet football League ball provider, so they know a thing or two about making footballs! The kipsta football is a great ball for all weather conditions and can be played with on grass or astro turf, made with a non-woven Korean PU material that provides excellent durability and feels. The kipsta football is a double liner, water-resistant, quality, maintains its

The story behind this ball

Our design team created this hybrid ball after observing football players in action on the pitch.

This ball is a hybrid because its design combines the comfort of a machine-stitched ball with the durability of a hand-sewn one.

We also used a bladder with a special design (2 km of thread is wrapped around the bladder) to ensure lasting inflation and better sphericity

Maximum pressure loss test: here's what we do...

Here's how we test pressure loss: We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar).

72 hours later, the ball must not have lost more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar (FIFA Basic certification). The pressure after 72 hours must, therefore, be at approx. 0.7 bars.

This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.

A "round" ball?

Here's how we test sphericity:

Average measured variation: 1.8% max (FIFA Basic certification).

We measure the football's sphericity at 4500 different points and then examine any differences.

If the discrepancy is greater than 1.8 % (FIFA Basic Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure a consistent bounce.
