Izzo Shag Pro Ball Feeder

Advantages: Maintains it shape, correct weight, feels great when you strike it.
Disadvantages: Very expensive

...When you consider a leather football can cost as little as £5 from some of the budget Sports retailers, it may astound some of you to realise that the Mitre Ultimax Pro ball retails at £45!!! Yes, you heard right. That is a big step up from the prices we pay. Yet the requirements of football may of us require is simply to be round and pumped up. However, when you are at a sufficient level of play, balls do make a difference. I count myself as a competent footballer who has found the game to lat in life to make a difference. Perhaps if I had found the passion I now have in my formative years, I could have gone on and done something. Anyway, back to the ball... The reason I mad the last few statements was to prove I know the difference between a cheapo ball and a good one. A good ball must have tight seams, multiple panels and most... Read review

Advantages: great feel and distance
Disadvantages: cost

...I have been playing golf for 15 years and always play with a Titleist ball. It's something of a habit, but the ball suits my game. In cold wet conditions I'll play with the pts wound ball, and in dry summer conditions the professional balata. That was until I tried the newest product from Titleist, the pro V1.

Putting with it is a dream, the ball doesn't fly off the putter like the wound ball. At the moment the cost of the ball will put off all but the most accomplished golfer, at £35 a dozen you don't really want to 'lose' a ball... Read review

Advantages: Good exercise for those with a bad back. Exercise without the hard work.
Disadvantages: Ummm...can't find any!

...In the heat of the New Year Resolution rush, I found a Pro-Fitness Gym ball in Tesco. For the cheap and cheerful price of £2.97, I took home a big, silver blob of plastic and a pump. Let's just say that after pumping away at the blob for a least twenty minutes, I didn't need to do any arm toning exercises for two days! Bonus! Once the ball was up and bouncing, I tried some of the exercises that were shown on the leaflet and found them easy to follow and, more importantly, easy to do in the comfort of my own living room. Within a week I had misplaced the leaflet and spent the next few weeks simply rolling around the room. Great fun! I suffer with back ache and sciatica and therefore cannot indulge in high impact exercise often. The gym ball allows me to tone and sculpt without putting any extra pressure on my back; in fact...
