Sure this ball is stylish, but its the not the looks that count. It's the control that counts, and of course the 3 year guarantee on it. It clear says on one of the patches '3 year guarantee on all surfaces and weathers.' I've had this ball for nearly a year and you can't tell it is the Nike Geo ball it was. The colour has completely gone and the patches have already started to rip. Don't be put off by the way the pros put the ball in the back of the net with maximum swerve in either direction. These players only use the same ball before it goes into the stands and a new one is thrown in. But the buyer may have to keep it for a longer period of time. The price is quite shocking aswell. This is not value for money. It's like getting 5 days worth of jam, 3 days before its sell-by date.
One thing you can't do is doubt the ability of this ball. This is why it is the Premier League ball. It is extremely light aswell. In some cases maybe too light. Think of how many times the ball has gone high into the stands. The lightness of it means it is superb for long balls. You can put less less power on the ball, and shockingly, get a lot of distance on the ball.
Another thing is that it deflates no matter how much you pump it up, again the players don't know about this because they use several balls. So one week the ball may have a hard bounce on it, then the next hardly any. Pumping any ball up repeatidly is very irritating.
Before you think of purchasing this product, think about your value for money.
