The panel shape is inspired by traditional dhow boats

The inspiration of the color scheme is NOT the Doha Qatar skyline at night, officially. It is the "colors of the Qatari flag and traditionally white Arab clothes".
Speedshell is one of the main innovations
One of the main innovations of the ball is Speedshell. Speedshell is aimed to increase the speed of flight and rotation of the ball to achieve excellent aerodynamics and a perfect shot.
