I still want to replace my Teamgeist after the nice doggy decided to eat it. Does anyone know any places that are selling them cheap at the minute? UK would be best for me. I've tried ebay but they never seem to have any :( plus im a but reluctant to get one off there as it could be just one of the cheaper models with a picture of the expensive ball.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Lucky you!
Aerow IIs are a really good ball. I hadn't used mine for a bit but i used it today and its a great ball. Much better than the Aerow I which allowed the mud to cling too much.

Has anyone used the Europass yet? I was just wondering, because I bought one the other day and I haven't had a chance to find out if the little dimples actual give more grip.

You will have to write a review on it once you've used it. I'm still gutted about my teamgiest it was SUCH a nice ball. So if the II is better i might have to invest in that.

Well just from fooling around with it in my room it feels a bit more grippy. I'm going to go to the gym sometime next week, though, so I'll let you know how it is.
I'm pretty sure my little brother left my CL teamgeist outside when he was playing with his friend and I'm sure it was stolen, so I know how you feel.

I was gutted. Don't get me wrong i love the Aerrow II but the teamgeist just felt really really really round and did have a really nice touch once i got used to playing with it.
But you'll have to let us know. It just looks like it would be heavier with the dimples. I know it isnt but do you get what i mean? - lol

Yeah, I thought it would be too. It's not really, though. It feels a bit tougher; not harder, or anything, just it feels like it won't get as many scuffs and marks.

Scuffs and marks were a massive problem with the original teamgiest. I'll have to have a look at one if they get them at my local adidas store. Was it more expensive than the old ball?

Well I bought it at a shop near me, so yeah. It was $150 CDN, which is a little pricey, but it was really nice, so I shelled out the dough. I got my CL teamgeist for only $89 bucks on subside last march. If I were you, I'd get one of the cheap teamgeists from subside or eurosport, unless you can find the Europass for a good price.

Yeah thats what im aiming to do. I dont want to pay too much for a ball though id say like £45 tops. I got my last teamgiest for a bargain price of £30 thats why i think i was so distraught when it got trashed!!

I saw the europass in my local adidas store yesterday.
Wow, its such a good ball. This one didn't look blown up as high as it could of been but it had some mega bounce on it.
I want it so much but don't think im willing to pay £80 for a ball. Its so nice though!
