Dual Bonded handball – Stitched and glued handball for a softer touch


Combo DB - Dual Bonded Handball

Dual bonding means that the ball’s 32 panels are both stitched together and then glued in the edges.The ball is made from an outer PU material, which is laminated with 2 mm of foam. An extra 3 mm layer of foam is then inserted between the surface and the inner bladder. The panels are then bonded with 3 mm of glue in the edges and stitched by hand or machine.The glue in the edges is activated in a heat mold to hide and seal the stitching, which means that the seams of the 32 panels can’t be felt. The overall combination of the materials and production method gives the feeling of an incredibly soft handball with improved grip and roundness.

Zero-Wing bladder

The bladder is made of high performance natural latex. The Zero-Wing concept ensures optimum roundness of both the ball and the bladder. SELECT solely uses latex bladders in our balls with build-in balance point at the opposite side of the valve hole. This, together with the Zero Wing concept, gives a perfectly balanced ball with a very lively bounce.

Foam

The outer PU material is laminated with 2 mm foam and then an extra inserted 3 mm layer of foam between the surface and the inner bladder.

Lining

To stabilise the ball and to ensure that it remains round, its 32 panels are lined with several layers of textile material. The lining also helps to adjust the softness as well as the weight of the ball.

Foam

The outer PU material is laminated with 2 mm foam and then an extra inserted 3 mm layer of foam between the surface and the inner bladder.

PU surface

The synthetic leather used in our handballs consists of an outer layer of ”grippy” PU with a backside of non-woven polyester fibre. In addition to this, the special fibre threads are inlaid in a crisscross fashion to ensure the strength and stability of the material. This ensures a ball with a perfect grip, optimal balance and extreme durability.

Double lock valve

The rubber material used in our valves is well known for being airtight and together with the Double Lock system, where the air must pass through two ”gates” to escape, the ball becomes very airtight.

Dual Bonding

The ball’s 32 panels are both sewn together and glued in the edges. The glue in the edges is activated in a heat mold to hide and seal the stitching, which means that the gathering of the 32 panels can not be felt.
