Soccer Ball Size 5 - Premium Adult & Youth Soccer Ball - Plus Over $497 in Online Soccer Training Bonuses!

I bought this so that I can practice with my 7-year old son who is playing youth soccer this year. His team only practices once a week and their performance in their first game showed it! (lol) The ball arrived today and I promptly aired it up so that I could practice with him. We practiced dribbling, passing, and follow-through for taking goal shots for approximately 30 minutes. Upon completion, I collected our gear and noticed a lump in my ball (this one). Lo and behold, the "skin" is already beginning to separate! The seller's website requires you to leave a review before they'll allow you to register their product, so here it is. Their level of customer service will determine whether I return to edit this review. 30 minutes of light practice with a tear already forming is not a good start...Update 1: seller replied to my email within half an hour of me sending it. Very apologetic for the failure and had a replacement in the mail to me the very next day (it arrived today...on a Sunday!?). I've only put air in this new ball so can't comment on its condition, however, based on the exceptional customer service, price point of this ball, and the access to so much additional training materials, I have upgraded my 1-star review to 4-star review. If this ball lasts more than 3 months, then I think this should be a 5-star review, without question!One other thing, I intentionally did not comment on the feel of this ball. I'll leave that to those with more experience.

So far I'm impressed.I just got this ball over the mail and I'm very impressed by the quality for a $25 ball.As someone who's been playing soccer all my life, including college and competitive leagues in different countries, I have tried countless soccer balls from all major brands over the years. If you're familiar with soccer balls, I would say this is in line with just about any top training ball out there, but at a very competitive price point. I'm now looking towards coaching, and I feel this would be an excellent option to stock up at this price point.I understand it's a limited time offer, but as long as it doesn't go over $30-$35 it will still be hard to beat - at $35 you can find some of the Adidas Top Replique Training Balls, and at $40 you start getting into the range of some of the Puma Match balls, which I find to be the best option for that price range.In any case, I still need to see how the ball holds over time and I'll be sure to update my review accordingly.

I purchased two of these balls for personal training and pick up games. The balls felt a little light, but the touch was great.Unfortunately one had a full blow out, in the first game, as seen by the attached photo. I don't know whether this happened when it was struck or after hitting the post, but this seems a bit fragile for a soccer ball.The second popped a few stitches in the same game (after replacing the first). I have included a picture of that damage, as well. This damage occurred in two places on the ball. The ball maintained its integrity, unlike the first, so I did not realize the damage until after the game.I am, by no means, a super soccer player, so I would have given this review one star because of these failures. The company answered my inquiry about the warranty, indicating that these were limited beta versions of the balls and that they would replace them with the new completed production design. That response earned them a couple more stars from me.Once the replacements arrive and I have a chance to test them then I'll update this review accordingly.Update 1: The replacements are on their way, but I have updated pictures for the second (black and white) ball, which has now suffered the same blowout damage as the first. I will update again once I have a chance to test the replacement balls.Update 2: I am immensely pleased with these replacements. I have used them for several games and practices and the latest photo that I uploaded show they are much more durable than the initial versions.I'm glad to see that this product now ships the same ones I received as replacements.I love the weight and touch of these balls. The odd weather this year has given me a chance to try them in varying conditions. The texture gives a solid feel whether wet or dry, hot or cold. They don't need to be broken in, like other balls do. Many other balls are excessively sticky, which can be dangerous when controlling the ball in traffic or on the run. These have just enough grip to allow easy touches, but won't grab your boots and trip you up.They have held their pressure consistently for weeks. I believe this latest picture will show a pair of small parallel scratches, which is the most wear these have shown to date. Those scratches happened when the ball collided with a bench next to the field, where I was playing. Rather than poke through the material, the impact simply made a cosmetic mark.I plan to buy more of these to have on hand for practice.

This is the fastest review I have ever written for a product on Amazon. I just received the ball 30 minutes back and I was very excited to inflate it and play with it. However, I was terribly disappointed. I didn’t even get to kick the ball once. As soon as I inflated it, I found out that the ball is defective and was not properly stitched. pretty sure it will get worse after playing for a while. I will contact the customer service and see how it turns out. A one star for now.edited: Added more photosUpdate (07/29): contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement ball with one day shipment. Ball looks good this time and played a game using it today. Updating to 3 stars for now. Will play a few more games and see how it is and will update the review accordingly.
