10 essential tips for caring for professional balls

Rhythmic gymnastics ball

1. Professional balls for rhythmic gymnastics have a special coating, so after each training it is recommended to clean the ball from dirt using warm water and soft sponges, and you can also resort to using a small amount of soap solution. After the ball appears, wipe it dry with a dry cloth and leave it in a dark, dry place to dry completely. In this way, the gymnastic ball can retain its sticky properties longer

6. You should regularly check the condition of the nipple and the tightness of the ball's inflation. If necessary, use a specialized pump from the same company as the ball. You need to inflate the ball to the desired hardness, but do not overinflate it.

              

7. Don't inflate the ball too much. A professional gymnastic ball has an ideal alignment, allowing the gymnast to perform all types of maneuvers with the ball. If the ball loses its orientation, it will no longer be suitable for professional practice and performance.

8. You should not inflate the ball immediately after purchase, since professional balls are already supplied with factory inflation in accordance with the standards established by the manufacturer. If the ball has lost its original elasticity, you can hold it under running warm water for a while and it will return to its previous state.

9. If the ball still needs to be inflated, you first need to place it under warm water to warm up the rubber, then remove the water from the ball with a dry cloth, take a branded pump, dip the pump needle in glycerin or a special softener and insert the needle at a right angle.

10. When transporting the ball by plane, you must first deflate the ball a couple of millimeters, without causing a depression to form, this may interfere with the original centers. If you miss this moment, then there is a large load, due to which the tightly inflated balloon is deformed due to the temperature and pressure difference at such a high altitude.
