Review # 56: Soccer Ball(s) Review

This is a special guest review written by Ricky B.

In the last few years I have gone through several soccer balls including some from normally reliable name brands including Mitre, Wilson, and Nike but they lasted no longer then a month or so, being used for practice 14-16 hours per week.

When my sister got me an Adidas LA Galaxy ball for my birthday last year it didn’t get much attention for quite a while as my birthday is in November, right at the end of my school soccer season, and the beginning of my indoor soccer season. As you might know from my moms previous review of Indoor soccer, or Futsal, the balls used for indoor are heavier then regular balls. But that spring, when I was playing rec league soccer, it got a lot more action. I’ve used it regularly all spring and most of this summer until I got an Adidas Glider ball quite recently, however I’m not reviewing this ball yet because I’ve only had it for about three weeks. Adidas makes several lines of balls and soccer equipment including F50, Adizero, Jubulani, and, of course, league and team support balls like the one my sister got me. Over all I would say that Adidas makes the most durable soccer balls that I have used, however, if you would like to spend several hundreds of dollars on a high quality Jubulani ball that’s the way to go.
