The Quiet Ball Company · 静
A soft indoor football for quiet play at home
Built for living rooms, hallways, rainy days, and match nights.
My grandfather, Yang Xiasun, was born in 1926 in Meixian. The village is called the Hometown of Football.
At seven he gave up the money for shoes and bought a ball. He played barefoot in the rice paddies.
He became one of the first national team players in New China. In 1954, in Bulgaria, he scored nine goals.
There were silent years in the middle. White hair when he came out.
He died in 2002.
My name is Michael Yang. My mother is his elder daughter. I took her name. Which was his.
I designed the first JÌNG ball in Jing'an, the district where he lived out his last years.
The ball is quiet because he was.

Read the longer story →Four things had to be true before the ball could leave the apartment.
Soft contact
A microfiber composite shell over a two-layer tuned foam core. Real touch, real roll, less of the slap.
Lower impact
The core is tuned to soften the hard thud of a standard outdoor ball. We are not promising silence. We are promising a ball you can use indoors without flinching.
Small-space control
Smaller than a regulation match ball. Made for touch, rolls, and hallway drills, not for stadium kicks.
Home-safe rhythm
Floors, rugs, sofas, shelves, shared spaces. The ball is shaped to your home, not the other way around.
Final lab figures published when the lab is happy. We use words like quiet and quieter, not silent.
客厅 · LIVING ROOM
Soft indoor-first ball play. For sofas, rugs, shelves, shared space.
走廊 · HALLWAY
The hallway is the gym you forgot you owned. Small-space drills, real touch.
阳台 · BALCONY
Born in 静安. Made for the floor between the kitchen and the skyline.
卧室 · BEDROOM
Light enough to leave by the door. Soft enough to play before coffee.
Section in progress · campaign copy pending
Play while you watch.
The World Cup is on the screen. The ball is at your feet. The hallway has room for one more pass before extra time.
Tournament: 11 JUN — 19 JUL 2026 · JÌNG ships mid-July, in time for the knockout rounds.
Three drops. One color per drop. No splits, no overflow, no sold out in your size. Each color is its own moment.
Cohort 1 (Cloud Dancer) holders get same-number first refusal on Drops 02 and 03 — 48 hours before public. See N°07 below.
What makes Cohort 1 worth more than Cohort 7. Not a discount. A permanent identity inside a numbered universe.
Your number
Assigned in the order your deposit lands. Once it is yours, it stays yours.
The card
A numbered card mailed with your ball. The size of an ID. Embossed. Plus a digital twin tied to your account.
The wall
A list at /founders of who got in first. Names and numbers, opt-in. No followers. No likes.
The badge
A founder identifier on your JÌNG account. Recognized across anything we build next.
The continuity
When JF-01 Noir, JF-01 Pêche, JF-02, or anything that comes after opens, your number is reserved for you for 48 hours. Claim it or release it. The right is yours.
Early access
Every future drop opens to founders first. Always. No queue, no luck, no bots.
The guarantee
If your JF-01 tears, we fix it. If it can't be fixed, we replace it. As long as you have the number, the guarantee stands.
Lifetime programs
Coached by my uncle. (See N°08 below.)
Cohort 1 fills once. Then never again.
Six home training programs. Ten to fifteen minutes a day. Included with every ball. Coached by my uncle, who learned the game from his father.
For beginners
Fifteen days. The first feel of the ball under your foot, in the room you live in.
For everyone
A small ritual. The same drill every morning. Coffee can wait ten minutes.
For skill builders
Thirty days of agility in small spaces. The hallway is the field.
For apartments
Twenty-one days designed for under one hundred square feet. No broken anything.
For ages 6 to 12
A parent-led program. Thirty days. Built for the kid who wants to be good before they want to be praised.
For off-days
Mobility, balance, the small muscles in the foot. The work that lets the work continue.
Lifetime access. Comes with the ball.
