Anyone used this ball?

I have. It is nice ball, but I'd watch ebay and get aerow for similar price.

Concensus for ball category in Big Soccer seems like

1. aerow 2
2. teamgeist
3. aerow or other

and some swear by Mitre Ultimax, but due to lack of availability in US many people, including myself, can't comment on it.

the most bizarre thing happen to me today.

i went to a local sport store (i live in Canada btw).

i saw the Nike Aerow II in the same section as a Nike Premier since they look the same to the untrained eye. they were in the exact box as well.

I could have easily opened the box and switched the ball around and got the aerow for $30. Normally they retail here for $150.

I didnt do it tho

I know it is technically stealing, but I would do horrible, unforgivable things to get that ball for 30$.

As would I. Don't think anybody would say no if you could get away with it.

i havent seen the nike mv ball get a mention on here and i think its as good as if not better than the aerow (havent tried the aerow 2 )

also, i got it for 70 or 80 bucks off eurosport rather than the 120 retail and a lower-end teamgeist training ball--dont know its exact name--came free as part of a special offer sooo...good value!

My problem is that at checkout I would be giggling like a twat, or atleast have a huge grin... Then the cashier would refuse to sell it to me because I look like I'm going to molest him/her. It's a process...

anybody used this one?
"Pro 100T League" it's the one used in Scotland league.

I believe that's the same as the Mitre that was used in the Championship last season albeit with a different design. It's quite light but pumps up well, so it's great for shooting. Quite easy to swerve it too. I'd give it two thumbs up.

What bigg said, plus it's apparently the fastest and the most accurate (whatever that means) ball on the market. They've come out with a few different color patterns of the ball depending where it's used. Mitre has a cool ad on youtube.com and their website, but I'm not 100% sure if it's Pro 100T; the ball looks pretty sweet though.

The ones I've seen are SPL, Championship, and both Wales and Scotland have international versions.

cool, I found one for around $65 USD. I don't know if I have time to snatch it before my plane departs.

I use Mitre Ultimax balls for school competitions quite often and they are really good. We also use Nike Aerow balls (first version) and I would probably prefer the Ultimax but by a very small margin. They also seem to be very durable.

guys is this ball fake?

since it says "Teamgei2t" meaning Teamgeist2 I wouldn't firmly say it's fake. It might be new design, which I like.

where?

It was at a store in Japan but I decided not to get it.

thought this was cool, pictures of the roterio being fabricated

Can anyone recommend some cheap practice balls? I'd like to buy 6-8 of them to practice free kicks with. If they come in a set, even better.

i bought a nike vapor ball for $60 USD off of ebay. good deal? is the ball even any good? i only bought it cause it retails for like $120
