Title: Monta Ball
Post by: WhiteBerry on Jun 03, 2012, 04:42: AM
Hi everyone!
I'm just wondering if the Monta Ball is as good as it seems (i've seen that they use it in competitions and stuff). Currently I'm just using a old bad ball (i'm new to freestyling) but is it worth buying a Monta Ball?

Thanks guys!

Monta is a really bad ball, they're used in the rbss comp but nobody likes it :)
Buy a top training or a matchball, way better ;)

Monta balls are terrible, just do a search on the forum for "Monta ball" and you'll see what people say.

Yeah they are, but its better to buy a ball you can use for years then having to buy a new ball every 2 months

The only competition Monta balls are used for is RBSS and that's due to the unfortunate fact that RB have a contract with them. I'm pretty sure once the contract's over, they'll be looking for other options due to the large amount of complaints about the ball quality.

Look at it this way: if you take care of it, a matchball will last you at least 2 years, now think about how many less expensive balls would you go through in that period.

On top of that, you can always find older matchball models online or in outlet stores on sale or on sites like ebay for less than they cost in stores. For example, on ebay you can get the Tango 12 for 70€.

Problem solved.  :grin:

Thanks for the advice guys!
I think i will settle for a matchboll then.
And thanks Adi, I'll probably continue to be active since you all were so nice to me even though I'm really new to this sport.
See you all!

I have monta. I feel it bad,and I'm not the only one as I can see.
Seeing that you are new to freestyle I wouldn't go for matchballs(which are expensive,as you said),I'd rather buying some "normal" adidas/nike balls that you see in sport shops

Correction: it rockED, past tense. The original Monta was one of the best balls, if not the best I ever had, but the balls they have been making for the last 3 years are a complete waste of money.

Zef, have you even tried the new balls? I think you're still in 2007 on this subject and see Monta as something spectacular on the FS scene, when in fact, those days are far gone...

The monta ball is the worst ball I've ever used in 5 years, lasted about 3 months had no grip,light as a balloon and small the stitching would undo and the balls color fades and the ball deforms too

Monta balls don't deform. They are like that when you get them. Half of the current version of the monta balls are morphed the 1st time you pump them up. Agreed, it's one of the worst balls I've ever used. It's not even a football in my opinion.

Finale 20? Are you writing this post from the future?  :grin:

The newer version do have some of those issues solved (shape, stitching and material quality), but the size, weight and grip issues are still there, although the grip does get better when the ball gets worn out a bit.

I really don't think that monta balls are so bad, but definitely I would prefer a matchball! Have the EURO 2012 ball, and vittoleon, i think u should buy adidas CL ball cause they have better design i think :))
