If you can get good money for it on ebay, I'd sell it.

well I use my friend's match ball sometimes and it is quite good for freestyle, not as good as a teamgeist or finale imo. not bad though, try it out and you'll find see if it's your style

I've seen people selling it for 125$ on ebay.

Anyways, doesn't seem like a bad ball, but the grip is just awful when it's new, it's quite slippery in the beginning. Maybe once you wear it out a bit, it gets better. Just guessing since mine's still new...   :grin:

my jabulani had good grip in start, but after a while the grib dissapearded, and now I fucking hate it! It has lost grib and also the clyster that is between the ball and  "plates" has smelted...

I tried it only few times, and didnt liked it.. for my taste its pretty hard, and ball was not pumped up to maximum, after like 1 hour practice toes really hurts  :rolleyes:
