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 of all, be the correct weight.
The Ultimax fits this perfectly. Made from 26 individually stitched panels and made from a great material resistant to abrasion on most surfaces, it is a ball that will last.
It is also very light. Not too light like the Nike Scorpion Balls. We also saw In the world cup how a light ball meant that star players were booming their shots high into the crowd. A ball must be light enough to prevent you breaking your foot when striking it but heavy enough to keep it on a straight and accurate trajectory. Wind factor whould not play a part. The world cup football was more like a beachball.
To show it is the ball of choice, the majority of pro clubs in the Nationwide league and Premiership here in UK use this ball as their matchball. The professionals al lseem to like it thanks to its consistency and resistance to taking on water. One element that is normally assured in our climate is that Rain will fall on the ball. If it soaks up like a sponge, it will become heavy and unplayable. Staying dry keeps it playing the same as on a dry pitch.
The Ball comes in traditional White for normal play and also the alternative Bright Yellow for the Winter games. It is a requirement in the Nationwide League that the Yellow ball is used beween October and February.
To customise this further to individual teams, the Arrow logos covering the ball are available im many different colours to match team strips.

Overall, a great football but a little too expensive for most at £45. Only used in proper teams and leagues and not the average ball to take over the park. Not reccomended for taking to School!

Review of Mitre Ultimax Ball by 30gib

Advantages: Perfect material(leather)/Good in the air/ Keeps Shape
Disadvantages: Expensive

Every time we (my friends and I) go to the park and the ball comes out of the bag, we place it in the middle and give it 5 seconds appreciation time. This ball really does bring a tear to the eye (an i dont mean when you get hit in the face, although that does hurt) Its absolutely spectacular it glides across almost any surface perfectly (concrete, grass, bobbly grass). It is also a ball that definitely helps with accuracy, as when you kick it, it ...
...away balls that curl even when you throw it). The one thing i cant exactly tell you about this ball is the weight, but i can tell you that it is perect in the air- the ball elevates nice and straight. If there's one thing this ball loves, it has to be stinging the goal keeper. When this ball is hit with accuracy its like an arrow on fire (Fast, straight and hot) Which is why when this ball was used in the F.A there were many goals conceded (not recent ... Read review
