Please don't spend 3-4 times the price on a Nike/Adidas ball, they will let you down. This Kipsta F500 is perfect, does not absorb water AT ALL, is perfectly balanced and is lovely and consistent to control, great craftsmanship and overall quality. I've belted this ball into concrete, stones (accidentally of course) and not a mark or tear to be seen. Brilliant.
International match approved football for much less than more popular / well-known brands
This balls are fantastic, excellent quality. Really good for team training session balls.
Had bought a lot of balls in the past for my 14 year old son and within a couple of days they had a puncture. This one is still going strong, at last a ball that lasts.
good ball to play with
We had bought it in 2weeks.... The air is going from it...
Dear Figo,
We are truly sorry for the experience you have had with one of our football ball. It was never our intention.
It is normal for a football ball to lose around 15% of its pressure within 72 hours. In fact, we have the tests for pressure retention based on FIFA standards for our F500 and F900 models to ensure this is true. However, if you do feel it isn't quite as we have described it, kindly bring it to any of our stores and we shall help you out.
Please do let me know if you have any further queries.

Gifted football to a 9 year old boy. Within one hour of playing for the first time with same age group friends the ball got deflated and bursted.
Dear Mr. Apul,
We are truly sorry for the experience you have had with one of our football balls. It was never our intention.
I trust this must be a one-off case as the F500 is an International Match standard ball (FIFA approved) and we personally, have been using for our competitions as well. We would like to know how the ball was punctured and on what surface you have been using it on to identify the defect. It would be great if you could visit our store so that we can check these. Our sport leader will help you with a solution.
Do be assured that our products have a 2-year warranty for any manufacturing defect.
Please do write back if you have any further queries.

Good one

A great football. But don't play with it during Rain. There is a great chance that the water of ground may come inside of the Ball and make it heavier.
All sports related products under one roof.
This football is awesome.
This ball is not good . I have experienced bad for ever . Coming heavy than 400 gm
Dear Sir,
We are truly sorry that our F500 football did not live up to your expectations. It comes as a surprise to us as all our F500 models are compliant with International Match Standards. You can find the IMS mark on the football itself.
Coming to your concern regarding the weight, a standard FIFA approved match ball should weigh between 420-445 grams. If you are looking for something lighter, we would recommend a size 4 football.
Please do let me know if you have any further queries.

Design
Our design team watched soccer players in action on the pitch to develop this Hybrid ball. This ball is a hybrid due to a concept that combines the comfort of machine sewing with the durability of hand sewing. We also used a bladder with thread winding (1.25 miles of thread is wrapped around the bladder) to ensure lasting inflation and better sphericity.
Weight
Between 13.8' and 14.6' (Size 5) Between 11.5' and 12.8' (Size 4)
Circumference
Between 27" and 27.4" (Size 5) Between 25" and 26" (Size 4)
Sphericity
Average measured variation: maximum 1.5% We measure the soccer ball's sphericity at 16 different points and take a look at the recorded discrepancies. When the discrepancy is greater than 1.5% (FIFA PRO Standard), our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to ensure consistent rebound.
Maximum pressure loss
We inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (meaning 0.8 bar). 72 hours later, the ball must not lose more than 15% of its pressure, meaning approx. 0.1 bar. The pressure after 72 hours must, therefore, be at approx. 0.7 bar. This also means that it is quite normal for a ball to lose pressure after a few days.
Water absorption
We simulate rainy playing conditions in a lab, leaving the ball to sit in 0.8" of water and subjecting it to 250 compressions while applying a constant rotation. By the end of the test, the ball must not have absorbed more than 15% of its weight, meaning approx. 2.1 oz for this F500.
Rebound
Between 53" and 61" with a maximum difference of 4" between the ball's highest and lowest rebound. Each ball is dropped 10 times on a steel plate from a height of 6'6".
Shape and pressure retention
The most stringent test we put this ball through is the shooting machine test. Withstands up to 2500 shots against an inclined concrete surface at 30 mph at a distance of 8 feet. At the end of the test, we check: - the ball's general state: stitching must withstand this test - the circumference: it must not have increased by more than 0.6" - the sphericity: it must not have varied by over 1.5% - the pressure: the ball's loss of pressure must not exceed 0.1 bar
