1. Product & Selection
Q: What sizes do your basketballs/footballs come in?
A: Basketballs: Size 3 (kids), 5 (youth), 7 (adult). Footballs: Size 3 (kids), 4 (youth), 5 (adult/match). Check Shopify product pages for details.
Q: Are your balls suitable for indoor and outdoor use?
A: Yes! Our basketballs/footballs have durable rubber or composite surfaces—ideal for courts, parks, or turf. Marked “Indoor-Outdoor” on Shopify.
Q: How many shuttlecocks are in a pack, and are they durable?
A: Packs have 6/12 shuttlecocks (feather or nylon). Nylon options last longer for casual play; feather for competitive use.
2. Care & Maintenance
Q: How to inflate balls properly without damaging them?
A: Use the included needle—basketballs to 7-9 PSI, footballs to 8-10 PSI. Over-inflation causes leaks; under-inflation affects bounce.
Q: Can shuttlecocks be stored to avoid damage?
A: Keep in a cool, dry place. Feather shuttlecocks avoid humidity (they absorb moisture and break easily); nylon ones resist water.
Q: How to clean dirty balls?
A: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals—they damage the surface grip.
