In this paper, we consider the class of Lipschitz maps on the unit ball \(B_X\) of a Banach space X, and the question we deal with is whether for any \(\lambda >1\) there exists a \(\lambda \) -Lipschitz fixed-point free mapping \(T:B_X\rightarrow B_X\) with \(\textrm{d}(T,B_X)=0\) . We also consider its Hölder version. New related results are obtained. We show that if X has a spreading Schauder basis then such mappings can always be built, answering a question posed by the first author in [7]. In the general case, using a recent approach of Medina [33] concerning Hölder retractions of \((r_n)\) -flat closed convex sets, we show that for any decreasing null sequence \((r_n)\subset \mathbb {R}\) and \(\alpha \in (0,1)\) , there exists a fixed-point free mapping T on \(B_X\) so that \(\Vert T^nx - T^n y\Vert \le r_n(\Vert x - y\Vert ^\alpha +1)\) for all \(x, y\in B_X\) and \(n\in \mathbb {N}\) .
