Q. What is it made out of?
A. The outer shell of the Keepy Uppy™ Ball is made of a durable lightweight material used on high-performance kites, and the bladder is an aluminum and nylon material. Keepy Uppy™ Ball doesn’t contain any PVC, latex, BPA’s, or phthalates.

Q. How does it work?
A: The Keepy Uppy™ Ball is built with patented 2-layer KrunchCOR™ construction that dramatically absorbs impact (through dampening the coefficient of restitution!), while retaining the shape and physical properties of a ball. The ball is engineered to be hit at full force indoors and in-home! Play in any weather, day, or night!

Q. Will it pop? 
A. It’s super durable, hand-sewn, and will not pop even with a 50-pound weight on the ball. If you really try to pop it, like jumping on it with both feet, it will pop. Don’t do that!

Q. What is the weight and size? 
A. The Keepy Uppy™ Ball is a 12-inch ball in diameter. Keepy Uppy™ Ball weighs .08 ounces, less than one ounce - to give you an idea, a soccer ball weighs 16 ounces. The inflation device is a simple straw-like thing that will inflate and deflate the ball over 100 times. 

Q. Can it get wet? 
A. Yep. You can even throw the deflated ball in the washing machine but don’t really recommend doing so because someone might read this and do it and have something bad might happen.

Q. How long does the ball stay inflated?
A. A really long time. The bladder holds air longer than a latex or rubber soccer ball bladder. NOTE: if your Keepy Uppy™ Ball is in the heat, it will expand (be more inflated), if your Keepy Uppy™ Ball is in the cold it will contract (less inflated) - you can inflate and deflate the ball with the straw at any time.

Q. Where’s the best place to play with my Keepy Uppy™ Ball?
A. Anywhere. The more room you have to kick, hit, bounce, or do a header with your OllyBall, the better. You can play with your Keepy Uppy™ Ball inside or outside, in an airport, hotel lobby, public events, schools, gyms, and anywhere the ball won't blow away in high winds! The more room you give yourself to play with the Keepy Uppy™ Ball, the more fun you can have!

Q. How do I inflate my Keepy Uppy™ Ball?
A. There is an inflation straw in the packaging. It can easily be inflated and deflated in less than 30 seconds!

Q. Can I play with my Keepy Uppy™ Ball outside?
A. Yes. It will do crazy tricks with light wind, but it might blow far away in an open field in high and medium winds. Keep your eye on the ball!!!

Q. Should I deflate my Keepy Uppy™ Ball if we’re not going to play with it for a while?
A. No, it’s best to keep the ball inflated!

Q. What if I poke a hole in my Keepy Uppy™ Ball?
A. Not a problem. The outer shell of the Keepy Uppy™ Ball is a semi-permeable material that does not hold air. If the bladder pops, which is not easy to do, write us at: joe@keepyuppy.com

Q. What if I lost or broke my Keepy Uppy™ Ball inflation straw?
A. Your Keepy Uppy™ Ball can be inflated with any straw or even by using two everyday coffee stir stick straws.

Q. I popped my Keepy Uppy™ Ball. How do I get a new one?
A. New KrunchCOR® Bladders can be purchased at www.ollyball.com. If the KrunchCOR bladder is defective, we will replace it at no cost. Please contact us at orders@ollyball.com. 

DO NOT over-inflate your Keepy Uppy™ Ball!
Sure, it CAN be inflated larger, but then you void your warranty, and you make the skin so thin that it can be damaged much easier. As we all know, a popped Keepy Uppy™ Ball is no fun! 

DO NOT fill your Keepy Uppy™ Ball with water!
It gets WAAAAAY too heavy to have any fun with. 

DO NOT poke, stick, pick, jab, bite, or claw your Keepy Uppy™ Ball with anything sharp!
It will pop. You will be sad. We will be sad for you… The whole thing will just be very sad and that is not what we want.
