We've repaired hundreds of footballs, including Wilson, Rawlings, Nike and Spalding footballs, some surprisingly new. We've noted that polyurethane bladders don't expand and contract, making them vulnerable to changes in air pressure and changing weather conditions.  What we see every day is that polyurethane bladders aren't very durable and they actually disintegrate.  In contrast, butyl rubber expands and contracts with changes in air pressure, so butyl rubber bladders, while a bit heavier than polyurethane, are simply more durable.  Like all inflated sports balls, butyl rubber bladders will slowly bleed air over time and will need to be re-inflated periodically.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.leatherheadsports.mom\/pages\/football-repair-frequently-asked-questions\" title=\"Football Repair: FAQ\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease refer to our Football Repair FAQ if you have any questions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailed Shipping Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e1) Click \"Add to Cart\" button above to purchase Football Repair Service.
