how soft exactly do the polish pump their footballs? like you can squeeze it a lot and it doesn't bounce much and when it does it makes a blunt sound?  :sign0065:
I like to keep my footballs pumped at 80%-85%
when it's at 100 my feet hurt and i get a shin splint the next day if i've practiced air combos for at least an hour straight.
if it's like 70% i can't feel the ball and my touch goes all messy. it does help with doing high atw stuff like magellan but with moves like latw or hatw combos i need to feel the ball so i can have control.

Yeah Footwork team, ARS, MP, Dan, Macca and others have their ball really soft but I pump it as hard as it goes because it pops up easier and you don't have to use more energy.
never met a russian using a soft ball, so you had just misspelled something, the other ones are true tho
polish freestylers in general use REALLY soft balls, but i cant freestyle with a ball like that, i barely feel the ball when it's pumped like that, the only thing that is good to do with the soft ball are multiple htws, i can't do any other good things with that
so yeah, im using a hard one
Just heard from someone that they have the balls quite soft.

sorry but don't is important the air in the ball , because if i use a strong ball  ,for me is more difficult , because i use a soft ball , if mp,ars,tom folan or another freestylers use a soft ball  have more problem at close good combo. if you usa a ball size 4 and not 5 size is cheat.

  for the same motivation we can use adidas shoes or nike , nike are more soft shoes , but if a person use nike don't usea trick for play a better freestyle

It's funny because when I freestyled with you in Pyrzyce 2009 we shared your ball and I found it incredibly hard to use because it was so soft and now I use a soft ball and you use a hard ball lol
