Mishapen easily, nothing outstanding about it, too hard (no cushion)

Full review
I have used a Mitre Tactic on many occasions now on all the surfaces (blaise, astro turf and grass) and I have always been underwhelmed by its performance.
My old school got them in at dirt cheap prices (about £1.73 per ball when averaged out) and used them on our blaise pitches. This really was a nightmare as getting smacked on the thigh with one of these balls on a chilly december morning is never going to be an enjoyable experience.
It would also explain why the Higher results are going down the pan as kids lose millions more brain cells every time they header one of these rocks.
It also won't fly very far and if the wind takes hold of it, it could go anywhere.
With this said, it is quite a solid ball if just being used for perhaps passing drills or warm ups. It is by no stretch of the imagination anywhere near the standard of a match ball even for low level football but even still, i would recommend it as a ball to buy in bulk and use for training.
Its also worth adding that they have great durability. A set of balls being used on blaise nigh on all the time still showed no ral signs of wear after a year. This is a testament to the stitching and leather quality.
Overall this is a good ball (in that it is round and cheap) but i wouldnt go near it if you are looking for any sort of high level performance out of your ball.
