SW-Tack 2 grip compound
A micro-pebbled composite cover tuned for dry and damp handling. The pebble pitch is tighter than a standard outdoor ball, which keeps the print sharp without losing purchase.
Grip retention 92% after 2,000 dribble cycles
Materials & tech
Colour earns the first look. Construction earns the repeat purchase. Here, every material decision is tied to a measurable target.

Charges under daylight or floodlight and releases over the following hours. Sealed beneath the clear coat so it never sits on the wear surface.
Visible glow up to 90 minutes after a 10-minute charge
Latex holds a softer feel but bleeds air. We use wound butyl for shelf life, so a ball that sits in a stockroom for a season still inflates on the shop floor.
Under 6% pressure loss over 30 days
Panels are fused rather than stitched on match-grade footballs, keeping water out and the flight true. Machine-stitched builds remain on street and training lines.
Water uptake under 0.4% in a 250-rotation immersion test
Deeper channels than a typical recreational ball, so finger placement is felt rather than found. It also gives the colour blocking a hard edge under studio light.
Consistent channel depth across all print colourways
Pigments are UV-stabilised so neon greens and magentas hold instead of chalking after a summer outdoors — the failure point on most colour-led balls.
Less than 5% colour shift after 500 hours UV exposure
