Customer Reviews

Good Performance, Great Bounce.
I bought this for my cousins sons birthday. He is a proud student of the beautiful game. He can easily handle & control it better than the adult size regulation ball. It is made of high quality materials & was easy to inflate. After four months, he & his aspiring teamates have used it almost daily & it is still in fine condition. The bright colors have also made it easier to use for night practices.

Sticky and poorly stitched
This ball seemed pretty good at first. It has a classic design that resembles higher-priced balls. But compared to several other moderately priced soccer balls, like the Adidas F50, Teamgeist II and even cheaper balls from Brine and Wilson, this is a poor ball. First, the cover is very sticky, which makes it difficult to dribble. It's discouraging for younger players who are just learning footwork, because the ball sticks instead of sliding or rolling. Kids end up tripping on it more than they would a different ball. Second, the stitching came loose in one section after only a couple of months of light use. Maybe it was just this ball, but if it's an indication of the overall quality of this model's construction, buyers shouldn't expect to get more than a season out of it--at best. I wouldn't buy this ball again. However, I have another model Diadora (Cobra) and it's excellent.

Present for Little Brother
I bought this for my little brother because he needed a soccer ball for soccer practice and he just plain loves kicking, throwing, hitting and just down right playing with a ball. Please take note that while it is shipped UN-inflated, this is standard. Those balls you buy in the store are inflated thanks to the employees. Shipping costs BEFORE the gas prices got out of hand were bad. Now they're even worse to deal with rising costs.

So please make sure you have a pump with a needle on it in order to inflate the ball. I suggest a small pump that has the needle attached so you don't have to worry about losing the needle. Besides, you probably need to put a little more air in it once and a while. So it's a great investment. Overall, this is money extremely well spent.
