Which ball do you have and is it the problem with tricks in general or with blocking tricks?

Honestly, once the material wears down, it's impossible to get the initial grip back. Only thing I can recommend is to keep the contact area/surfaces clean - shoes, ball, skin (e.g. for foot clutches).

Another trick that you can use it to put sprinkle some soft drink on it and then it'll get sticky.

yeah, I knew that I will have to buy a new one, just wanted to know if there are any ways to keep some of the grip. Yeah it's about all of the tricks, not just the blocks. Thanks for the help!
Another question. What do you think about adidas top training balls? Worth buying? or should I save some more money and buy a matchball instead?

Top Training footballs are great, my friend has it, and I like it, so does he, but if you have enough money, you should buy a match ball.

Definitely worth buying, especially if you plan on looking after it.
