The Italia v1.06 is the official match ball of the Italia National Team and carries the official 4 star logo commemorating their latest World Cup victory. The v1.06 is a top competition ball used by Club and National teams playing at the highest international level. The new patented panel concept, which reduces the numbers of panel to 24, guarantees less variation in the different radii, because all panels are precast and no straight panel edgtes are connected and herewith a much rounder ball is generated. Due to the less seams, also the water uptake is reduced. Together with PUMAs revolutionary and patented dimple technology, that golf ball surface increases shooting speed as well as flight distance due to less drag behind the ball when traveling through the air. The ball can be used in all weather conditions and the special transparent PU coating guarantees very high abrasion resistance and water repellence. The special reinforced multilayered polyester backing network in combination with two additional latex layers gives the ball extraordinary shape retention and comes with a two year shape guarantee. A six wing natural latex bladder in combination with the PUMA AIR LOCK (PAL) valve and the PERIMETER BALANCE TECHNOLOGY (PBT) further enhances the balls superb flight and shotting characteristics. The ball is FIAF APPROVED which guarantees that the ball is of the highest of standards.
