Once the ball is inflated to 80%, insert the plug. Let the ball stretch out for at least
a few hours, ideally overnight.

After the ball has been allowed to stretch at 80% inflation, remove the plug again.
Finish inflating to desired level, keeping between 80% and 100%. If you prefer the
ball to be softer, you can leave inflation at less than 100%.. Reinsert the plug and
enjoy your ball!

Hold a book squarely against the wall (or use a carpenter’s square) and compare
the height of the ball with your mark. Ensure the ball is inflated to 80% of its
recommended size.
