"A top-notch football for Adults or bigger children. Easy to pump up when ready. We had great fun with this in the park at the weekend. We're keeping it in the car boot as our days-out football now." – Mukkle Nuisance
"The ball is ideal for training sessions, I've only had it for two weeks, but it's been used a fair amount in that time and is ideal for kick-ins before the start of a match. It's accurately shaped, and the very slightly dimpled texture of the ball allows for good control." – puppetmaster
