On the Ball
The right ball makes all the difference when it comes to daily drills, practice and gameplay.
Always keep in mind the construction of your soccer ball when making your purchase. Covers are available in synthetic leather, polyurethane and polyvinyl carbonate (PVC) materials. Synthetic leather is typically designed for high-level play and professional matches. This material offers increased control and a highly playable feel.
Polyurethane is more rigid than synthetic leather, but softer and more playable than a PVC ball. PVC, meanwhile, is the most durable soccer ball cover material and ideal for long-term training.
A nylon-wound carcass and TPU construction deliver advanced durability and a soft touch for consistent dribbling and passes.
Select between butyl and latex bladders for your soccer ball. Latex is often used in high-end games for its optimal bounce and response. Butyl, however, delivers excellent air retention, requiring fewer refills.
