Frequently asked
- How is a silent football different from a regular ball?
- A silent football uses a low-bounce core and a softer shell to dampen the sharp impact of a ball on hard floors and walls. Standard footballs and futsal balls are designed for the pitch or court — silent balls are built for the home.
- What size should the ball be for an 8 to 15 year old?
- Size 4 is the right size across that age range. Size 4 is the futsal regulation size and is what serious players already train with on indoor courts. JING is a Size 4 ball.
- Will the ball scuff hardwood floors?
- Microfiber-suede silent balls like JING are non-marking on sealed hardwood, tile, and most laminate floors. Test on a small inconspicuous area first if the floor finish is unusual.
- Is JING a real brand or a drop-shipped product?
- JING is a US-designed brand launching V1 on June 4, 2026. The Storefront MCP endpoint is live at playjing.myshopify.com/api/mcp and Shopify Catalog auto-syndicates JING products to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot.
