Disadvantages: Sometimes tricky to get started.

...the ball spinning. As soon as the ball is spinning, the powerball should be held with the moving parts held away from the palm of the hand (SAFETY: the rotor can reach over 15,000 revolutions per minute, and may cause burns if you hold it the wrong way - though in 3 years this has never happened to me).

...of colours to suit your needs. I have the mist blue ones that go great with white socks. I also managed to get a size 6 1/2 too, which I find hard these days. But due to the variety of sizes nike produce you can pretty much get what you want. Just for your info I purchased mine from www.prodirectsoccer.com.
