Default A question of Footballs

Hi everyone,

I was just looking at PDS and the footballs that they sell there.

The premier league football (T90 Omni) is priced around £60 and that I assume is mainly due to the very fact that it is the premier league ball.

However, is there any difference at all in the way that the ball feels and flys than to the lower range "Strike" ball which I own.

Could someone please tell me what the actual difference is and how much better/ worse it is in comparison to a standard £10 ball from any sport's shop.

Many thanks. (not sure if this thread really belongs here but couldn't really find any place better)

http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=597934 this would be a better place for it.

main differences for prices would be:
1. Research and Development
2. Quality of materials
3. Quality of build

Pretty much every component of the balls are different. The bladder, the padding, and the skin all have different features.

James do you choose not to use threads already made? or do you just refuse to read the titles of other threads?

Lets just say I'm pretty poor at realising there's already a thread on a subject matter that I want to find out about.
