Monta Balls - Cheating?
« on: Oct 30, 2008, 02:14: PM »
whats everybodys opinion on monta balls?? i know they are designed for freestyle but do you think its unfair that they are smaller and so they are easier to go around?? or does it not matter because its helping freestyle reach new levels??

it doesnt really bother me much but id like to hear other peoples opinion on it...

i guess its like in other sports, such as swimming, when people say its unfair to wear costumes that make you swim faster...

no way is the monta ball cheating. the size is so small most people can barely tell the difference unless they held the balls up next to each other to compare.  i would actually say the grip on its the bigger advantage.

I think it's just what you are used to. For me, i can't freestyle with a monta ball. I don't know why, but it's extremely hard for me! So i don't think it's cheating or something. It's just a question about what you are used to

i think it's better for combos freestylers because it's easier to go around the ball faster

same for me!
i tryed a few monta balls from other guys and i really hate them  :bs:

don´t know why, but in my oppionen bounces the ball not very good!
i have to put so much power in every atw so that the ball gets high enough!

i can´t use them! i don´t think it´s cheating!

If using Monta balls is cheating, so is using rubber balls, putting handball glue on balls, using futsal balls, using half inflated balls, etc.
FREEstyle, you do whatever you want, however you want to do it, with whatever you want to do it...
