    Does anyone know why the latest Adidas OMB's all have butyl bladders? I have the UCL 17-18 and 18-19 versions, and they are the best balls I've ever had...responsive, true bounce, etc., thanks in no small part to their natural latex bladders. What gives? I'm not buying that "better air retention" crap as a meaningful selling point for butyl. Sounds more like a rationalization. Switching over to Select or Nike for future replacements when my beauties have left this whirl.

    So we made a guide for those looking for good match balls. I know one of the requirements when looking for a ball is receiving it fast so we limited our top 5 list to balls only available on Amazon.

    We think these are the best available right now on Amazon.
    What do you guys think of this list? Let me know if you have any input, thanks!

    Has adidas stopped making their top training ball? They only have one listed on their website (a clearance ball). This is my go to ball for training.

    Also, can anyone recommend a similar ball to the adidas top training balls? I like the quality of the ball for the price.
