What's a good ball that I can get for $40 or less?

I have a Puma Tourada and I have been practicing with that a lot lately and juggling and working on freestlye tricks. I like the ball, but it's very heavy. Today I went to training for the first time with my personal trainer and all the balls he had were very light. Dirbbling those light balls was a lot different and harder for some reason. I felt like I could barely feel the ball at my feet because they were so light. Juggling was also harder. Granted, my feet were numb from the cold and tight shoes...

What kind of ball do you guys prefer? Heavy or very light?

I actually prefer the cheap end nike or adidas balls without padding. They are very responsive and are just the correct weight. :)

I'm not sure, but they are basically the Champions League replica ball...they go for about US$20 or the Nike total 90 swift..they're about the same price.

The total 90 team 250 is pretty good.

I am not a fan of the under $40 balls produced by nike and adidas. In that price range I would go with Brine (international mayber) or Select #10. I definitely would not practise with a ball lighter that the typical match balls used where I play.

Brine does make good balls
