It's easier with a Monta ball since it's a size 4,5. If I was to organize a freestyle competition (not one over the internet) I wouldn't allow competitiors to use a ball which has a size below or above 5,0.
Fx blesses himself before a patw combo, Tiernan blesses himself before a neck to sole transition.... but hey thats next generation :rolleyes:

Well the ball is smaler than a size 5 by 10% so I'd say it's 10% easier since you don't have to move your legs as much but then again it's no miracle ball like most seem to think it's not like buying it will make you a better freestyler in my oppinion because the best airmovers use size 5

Nams trick weren't necessarily trick whichs are easier performed with a smaler ball as he barely did any air moves but more of a "nam the man" moves

i think it is a little bit of cheat to use monta-balls,, size5 should be official size for freestyle

its perfectly fair to use whatever ball u want 4 freestyle. its "freestyle" there aint no rules. its still freestlye with a size 3 ball, its a matter of opinion. ALSO
some tricks can be EASIER with a size 5. like headstall, shinstall , actually EVERY STALL cos the ball is easier to balance. i use a size 4 and im happy with it. i will buy a monta ball soon tho, they are good

Today I tried to freestyle with a size 5 ball again, and I think it makes very little difference, although some sitdown stuff are easier with Monta than with a normal size 5. I was able to do 10 ATWs so really I think Monta is kinda good and there's little difference when it come back to normal ball. So I think there's no proof to say that freestylers can't perform well on normal ball if they freestyled with Monta, that's not so true.
