Title: Full of balls.
Post by: Smits on Aug 22, 2010, 08:29: AM: Not sure if anyone else likes the idea of this thread, but i thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for discussion of balls, and no, i'm not talking about those balls! ;)

Reason? I personally like footballs and want to start collecting them, yet i never know where to buy them, what balls are out, what new balls are coming out, and so on, so i thought with a thread like this people could talk about all those things and more.

Things i thought could be included in such a thread:

- Ball news; upcoming balls, current balls etc etc
- Good ball?; ask opinions on a ball
- Buying; Find a decent deal or want to find a shop that stocks a ball, post here.
- My ball; post what ball you have and opinions.

Let me know if you think this is a good idea.

Post by: Smits on Aug 23, 2010, 05:42: AM: I really like the look of that bundesliga ball, think i might have to buy it. Looks similar to the jubulani though.

This is the ball i have, it was the cheapest matchball i could find to start my collection.

You mean official matchballs from previous word cups? If so, ebay would be the best bet, but they tend to be expensiveif theyre from before 2006.

Post by: Patrick Edwards on Aug 30, 2010, 09:10: PM: I've got the Jabulani which is alright but it's heavier than a lot of balls so some nts are harder.

Yes, Adidas Matchballs have a 2 year shape guarentee and they don't rip like cheaper balls and they're just way better to practice with.
