FINALLY!!

I got my chewed up teamgeist replaced! And i have to say it was a bit of a bargain. Only £25 from the Adidas outlet store in York. Not given it go yet, but will do later. And im looking forward to it!

I really like the design on these . Is it the top end model ?

[appleCORR7]

Yep! It certainly looks and feels a lot more expensive than the original teamgeist.

does it have the very small almost golf-ball-like dimples on it? i played with an adidas argentine league ball and was surprised to see those on it

[appleCORR7]

Yeah its got the dimples in it although you cant really see them in the picture.

These feel so nice to just take a rip on goal with. The movement on them is crazy.

[appleCORR7]

Well, I've finally been using my teamgeist 2 this week ... and to be honest i think i prefer the older model. The new one just feels a bit 'heavy' it still has a nice bounce and grip etc. Just liked how spongey the other one felt. I'll stick with it though, probably just take a bit to get used too!!

anyone else find this?

I know what you mean. I bought the Europass to replace my CL 7 ball which I had stolen from me, and I find, while it's grippier in the rain, it doesn't seem to fly off your foot like the older version.

[appleCORR7]

Exactly, it seems to bounce nicely off the floor but not off your foot. I guess it will just take some getting used too. I've took some of the air out of it to see if it makes any difference. I'll have to wait until later to try it out.

Do you play with the Silverbacks or something? I remember them using those balls against Independiente.

I've been playing lately with the Nike T90 Catalyst and I LOVE it!

I picked it up at Niketown in Denver for $40 (it's $60 on soccer.com). It's FIFA Approved, not too heavy, and looks awesome. I haven't used to T90 Omni (the EPL ball) yet, but from past history with Nike balls, the $130 balls just have a slicker surface.

I love the Catalyst so much, I may buy another just so I have another for when mine is worn out.

no, i'm just a big fan...i got to kick around one of those balls the day before the independiente match when me and a friend watched them train and a ball came our way

Anyone have this ball? It's only $50 shipped at fogdog after a 25% coupon. Was going to get the adidas MLS Match Soccer Ball - http://shop.bigsoccer.com/departments-balls-premium-match-soccer-balls-adidas-mls-match-soccer-ball.html (http://shop.bigsoccer.com/departments-balls-premium-match-soccer-balls-adidas-mls-match-soccer-ball.html) http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-78507158105148_2014_5261950243
, but for $25 less I'm thinking about going with the top one.

[ctoa23]

Haven't used the Competition, but I absolutely love my Teamgeist. You get what you pay for, but for $25 less I'd go with the Competion.

[somnambulist]

The Olympic Teamgeist is on soccer.com now. I think it's a gorgeous ball.

[kaback99]

yeah it is a beauty! if i somehow get my hand on some extra cash i may pick one up.

[TriaktivTLE00]

That adidas Teamgei2t Magnus Moenia (Great Wall Star) is absolutely MINE! Even though it's gonna cost me more than $140 ($130 + NYS sales tax).

[somnambulist]

If you're thinking about getting one, you should order it from Niky's Sports. I was browsing the site just now and found that it's $13 cheaper there. Only $117 rather than $130 everywhere else.

Cant they just make this ball in an all-white? Im curious because the Teamgeist balls are great, just that the colors they're using make them look too busy!!! Its like waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much is going on that the ball itself is just looks too good to be kicked
