Honest to the point of fault, but at least you know where you stand, whether you agree or not!

I'll get stuck in, I have honestly NEVER played with a ball anywhere near as good as this. I was lucky enough to be given one of the balls used in a recent Burton Albion game by a friend of mine who was one of the match officials.
They are outstanding. The ball is light, but still allows you to maintain direction without it seeming to float away from your intended target. I must admit, I don't think that they look particularly good, I myslef am a fan of the Mitre V's that have been on their range of footballs since 19forever. But this does not matter a single bit, as when you come to play with the ball you don't need to admise the design, you simply 'feel' it.
They are however unfortunately not particularly durable. Granted they are not supposed to be used on concrete, but the slightest usee can tear the synthetic coating. Nothing too damaging, but irritating non the less.
As a keeper, I found the balls coating a challenge, is it doesn't have the lacquer like coating that most matchballs have, meaning it doesn't stick to gloves like some others do. However, it is a dream to distribute, either by hand or foot.
I even dabbled with this ball out of goal. If I can pick out the top corner from 20 yards with this ball then I guarantee that you can!
