I dont think you guys understand.
No one is complaining about the balls, no one is blaming the balls for anything, no one really cares which balls we use.
We needed new training balls, so why not train with the balls you are going to play with.
Far out is it that hard to understand.
You guys are awesome.

I LIKE BALLS

Pretty much what i was trying to say....

We used the new Match Balls in a Friendly last, they are quite good to use, feel a bit spongy but when the ball is hit cleanly you will definately know it.

No major complaints, the only thing, on a hard pitch, the ball is VERY bouncy but other wise, good ball to use.

See you were trying to simulate using the new balls in "wet" conditions too

We thought about it but the Sprinkler heads stick about a 5 inches out the ground and it would have been like playing on a pinball table.

Will take a bit of getting used to judging the bounce....
Last year a few players struggled judging headers too...with long high kicks the nike balls tended to dip at the last moment and I witnessed many misjudging contact.

When you get older and manage to get jiggy with it after 30 seconds or so you will feel something

That's your balls knowing it's the last minute :

30 seconds?? You're doing it wrong if it takes you that long.
