Overall they're pretty good as "stingers" in NDL dodgeball.However, they're really easy to pump up too much and they get a weird deformity when you do that. They get an egg-like shape.
this bag exceeded my expectations... it was much bigger than i thought it would be, and much better quality.....the back pack-type straps make it much easier to carry across fields, etc, and it has a large storage compartment in the front for paperwork, pinnies, etc.. i would buy this bag again -- it was really a bargain for the price paid...
I am so pleased with this bag.It is very roomy and seems extremely well-made. Nice durable fabric, good quality zippers, reasonably wide strap. The only area that could possibly be improved is if the shoulder strap had a bit more padding, but it is very good as-is. To give you an idea of how much stuff you can carry in this bag, here is what my young athlete typically carries in her bag to school on game or practice days when she also has PE that day.Basketball shoes (men's 9), Ugg tall boots, running shoes, basketball uniform, athletic shorts and T-shirt, the team's medical kit, and your usual assortment of girl stuff.She still hasn't even used the front pocket or ball section, and there's still some room in the main compartment.One note, the front pocket can be detached from the bag, so it could be used as a dock-kit or cosmetics case to take up to the mirror with you.That's a nice feature, but if you want to use the actual shoe pocket (which is very roomy), you have to get the front pocket assembly out of the way by first unzipping it from the main bag most of the way. Then you unzip the shoe pocket to open it, and stuff in the shoes.So, with that extra step required before the shoe pocket can be accessed, my young athlete just tosses everything in big center section-no keeping the shoes separate from everything else. Not what I envisioned, but she's completely happy with it. Once we get into AAU season, she'll start carrying her ball in the bag as well, and there is plenty of room for that to happen.
i just bought this ball because my t-90 catalyst got destroyed, and i already like the feel of the royale a lot better.it feels like it has a bit more weight and is softer for better touch but still explodes off your foot.all in all a great ball - best i've owned yet.
Item was sold as pack of 6, bought 2 'packs' although only 2 single items were delivered.Supplier was non-communicative when asked about delivery, problem with order.Have tried calling, emailing, every contact method provided and no response whatsoever.Item was acceptable, supplier level of service was not.The only good thing I can say is that the items arrived on time although I had no feedback to confirm that they would (despite asking for a specific date range for delivery).I would not use the supplier again, which is unfortunate as the delivery time was good.The product had been wrongly advertised and as such a refund was given.A poor response I'm afraid, could have been avoided if the advert was correct and if the supplier was more communicative.
The Foosballs look the part, and add to the playing experience. Unfortunatley the balls have started to show wear with the black starting to wear off. In addition the black also marks the table surface.
I wanted the ball designed a little differently from any shown on their site. When I told them what I wanted, they were very willing to create it. They stayed in contact with me by email to be sure I liked their creation. The turnaround time was very fast and their commitment to me, their customer, was impressive. They even sent me a picture of the final product before they mailed it to me.The ball was perfect and I don't think I have ever had better service.
It's a great feeling to play with this ball. True flight, soft touch, amazing durability. I play in a mens league every Sunday so this ball gets plenty of play. So far, after 4 games it's got a few scuffs but no scratch to speak of. (And we boot this ball into the woods pretty often). Only negative thing I can say is that every week I have to air it up from 7psi to 10psi. Not sure what the normal deflate rate is, but I don't mind. I get compliments on this ball!
I have now had this product for a couple of months and have gotten some good use out of it.It is a wonderful tool if you want to work on your kicking technique with numerous kicks in a short period of time.It is especially useful for those that want to practice strong kicks in limited space and with no partner to kick to.The best part is, if you use it correctly, you don't have to waste any time or energy chasing after your ball after you have kicked it!
Nice mesh bag.It developed a small hole in it when my kids started dragging our bag full of soccer balls across the field.So the mesh isn't all that thick.But if you carry the bag (!), it works great.I can fit 11 size 4 soccer balls in this bag.
These ball bags are very strong and don't break very easy. I've used mine to carry school books and soccer equipment both. Other than a little discoloring over the years, the bag I purchased is still in tact and working fine to carry pretty much anything. The only downfall to this particular sack is the opening is a little smaller than the other Calle Ballsack. This bag is made well for the Primeo balls rather than size 5 regulation balls. It isn't impossible to fit one in, it's just a tight squeeze. So depending on what you plan to do with your bag you might want to consider the two different sizes. Either way, Calle bags are great and durable!!
It's worth purchasing an ACTUAL medicine ball.It costs more, but consider the cost of replacing the cheaper ones.I'm tired of poor/cheap products just to pacify American buyers...I just make sure that if I'm investing in the product, I'm going to use it, and not just have it for "show".
Happy with the item, i was unaware of the shipping cost until i got the product and saw shipping at $14.when i called the company they said it is because they pump the ball with air and that cost more to ship!!Unbelievable.
I just purchased one of these today for a gift.I read that it would be difficult to find extra balls that fit - and it was.None of the ones available have fit so far.So I tried tennis balls, and that worked just fine.The balls have to be just ever so slightly smaller than the average practice balls (you can't tell by looking side by side) and baseballs, so tennis balls fit that bill.
This product is great. Although the first one i received was lopsided, the seller promptly sent me a new one at no cost AND in time for our game in the following two days of the products arrival! The ball plays great, looks great, and is by Brine which is a great, quality soccer ball! I Would recommend this product!
I play soccer occasionally and with friends, so I'm not too picky about soccer balls.
The ball is nice and is pretty comfortable to play with, but not very durable. The synthetic got torn the first time itself. I thought it was genuine leather, but it's some soft synthetic material.
The ball we received was out of round. We have been trying to contact the vendor to replace the ball,Brine NCAA Championship Match Soccer Ball (White/Black) and have been unsuccessful in them answering emails or phone calls.I would never order from this vendor again.
This is a great ball for my dog that loves to push and chase soccer balls around. It is very sturdy!
My teenage nephew seems to be enjoying this soccer ball.He picked it out himself.Big into soccer and pretty trendy so if you are buying it blind, then I would say it is a good purchase.But I'm biased about my awesomely cool nephew.And, it's Adidas.Can you go wrong?
We are a bunch of veteran players, sort of retired and trying to get back in shape and into the game, some of us have been playing for more than 20 years and have played with all sorts of soccer balls, you name it.
after paying 20 dollars for these balls, i found the exact same ones at sears for $3.99...
This is a solid tee. On one hand it comes very badly shipped. Product damage IE. tee holder ripped. That is not the tee's fault it's the seller's so ignore that. Although today after maybe a week of constant use my dad took a swing and knocked the brush top right off. This is why this product only receives 4 stars. The problem was easily fixed with some Krazy Glue, but it was a hassle.
We used the Calle Smooth Criminal Ball for a 5 X 5 tournament where it was pounded around on tennis courts for 3 hours.Then, we have used the same ball for street soccer practice on basketball courts.And, I take it home and my son and I pound it against the garage door then take it down to the beach.It has scruffs and the pigeon is a bit faded, but it has good play and spins precisely.I would recommend this ball to any serious street player or mult-surface player (it is true on a grass pitch as well).Just get pumped up to play and pump up the ball and you're there.
These are great to have as extra t-balls.Shipping was nearly as high as the product, however.
...But I wouldn't know since I never received it and neither Amazon nor the company who was supposed to ship it will return my emails. But I sure am glad to have received the offer to review the product.
I bought this for my 10 year old daughter who was just starting hook latch.It is a simple pattern that is good one for beginners.
I purchased this ball for my daughter. She LOVES it ! it arrived in 2 days, looks just like the picture, and seems to be great quality. Soccer balls come in different sizes for different age players, we recieved the wrong one, but exchange was easy. They even use it for team practice because the bright colors make everyone want to get the ball .
How disappointing to receive this ball and find it needs to be inflated.It would be helpful to know that you need to buy some inflation device when purchasing this ball.How do I give this as a Christmas present when it's too flat to use???
I purchased two of these balls for trigger point therapy for my back and shoulder.The results have been spectacular!At first, the ball hurts a bit but once you get used to the feeling, you can pinpoint trigger points and deactivate them.I wish I would have purchased this sooner.
I purchased the Kwik Kik for my 11-year-old to use as a training aid for the recreational soccer program he is involved with.It was fairly easy to put together and, once the base is filled with sand (it cannot be filled with water), it's simple to move it from place to place.The Kwik Kik is a great way to build up the strength and stamina in his feet and legs!I love the fact that he can use it either in-doors or out-doors, so he'll be able to use it to keep training throughout the year.Great Product!
I must have missed something ? Great Ball, my daughter will love it but no box !
I bought this ball hoping it would be soft enough for (1) indoor house soccer play and (2) heading practice for kids who are shy/tentative about heading a real soccer ball. However, this ball is somewhat similar to a regular soccer ball, and is only slightly lighter and softer. Therefore, the ball did not meet my intended purposes.
My son loves this ball, he is only 2, and already getting the hang of kicking the ball all over the place.He doesn't like to leave the house with out it.
This ball has been excellent. It has great touch, does not get stuck under my feet while dribbling, nor does it feel too slippery on my feet. I've been using it for pickup games for a few months now and the feedback from the other players has been positive.
The kit has hurdles, ladder, evesion belt, reaction ball...... Comes in a very good quality bag that is big enough to hold other items too. Very economical purchase.
This is the ball that all the highschool soccer teams in my area use for practices/games and it's very nice. It's a really good weight- not too heavy, not too light. These things also last just about forever, and even once they wear down they still have a nice feel to them. Great ball at a great price.
This was the fastest purchase I ever made. I bought it on Sunday and by Wednesday we were playing. Highly recomended vendor.
My first futsal ball,so I don't know what others are like, but I love this ball.
My 10 year old son uses this ball at practice. No troubles figuring out which ball is ours!Great pattern and durability.You need to get one and be unique, not typical.
A strand has come loose after one day of use. I cannot believe that it is already broken! I use it to transport 5 basketballs. It is also very flimsy and cheap looking.
It was cheap, the delivery system was fast. I don't have any complaints about it, it's a really cool soccer ball...
I bought the Eco Match ball as a present for a friend who plays 4 times a week and is passionate about soccer, but who also cares about the child labor cost of the premium Nike balls.I expected him to love the fair-labor aspect of the ball andto forgive any design or manufacture shortcomings which might result from the unusual origin.Instead, he loves both the touch and durability of the ball, the no-child-labor origin, AND the unusual artwork which allows him to have some pleasant conversations on that subject.
I currently work at a soccer store located in Portland, Oregon. One of our products we carry is the CALLE primero ball and it is amazing. I have never seen one come back defective, I bought one about a year ago and it's still playing fine! With a durable shell and a bladder that can withstand anything, it's the best street soccer ball on the market. Everyone who walks into the store knows about the CALLE street ball. Its the greatest invention in soccer since the copa mundial! Whether you have kids, teens, competitive, or recreational players,it works for everyone. Whether it's on grass, turf, or the street, it plays great. With all different colors and the new "smooth criminal style", the CALLE Primero wins in both durability and fashion. I've worked in the soccer business for quite sometime and haven't seen anything as ground breaking as the CALLE Primero ball.
While this ball initially was fun to play with and has a nice touch to it, I was shocked to know that this ball cannot be played with in the rain.Mine bled right onto my white canvas Nike's and even after washing them, they are still not the same.I now only use the ball indoor on a gym floor, which kinda kills the value of the "street" ball. I guess if you lived in the desert this ball would be great, but not anywhere where the streets get any type of moisture.
Pros: Looks great, attracts attention of most 4 year old soccer players and their younger siblings.
I've had these balls now for 2 seasons in a very cold wet/snow area , and they've been great.I purchased three more last week(Amazon's limit) for $15 each and now I am really dissapointed that I went back to purchase 3 more and the price is at $38 each.Great ball!!
there are better bags out there. not bad, but doesnt stand up straight unless full of balls and its not easy opening.
I bought this mini soccer ball for a student athlete to sign after she graduated.The size of the ball was perfect for displaying on a bookshelf, but with all the black panels it left a small space for the student to sign.
This ball is great for practicing soccer indoors if you have an area free of breakables. My 8 year old son has been kicking his cloth covered soccer ball for the past couple years.We finally had to buy a new one.This ball is a great product.We're thinking of buying a few more - for some of his soccer friends and maybe more for him because for as much as he uses it, he'll probably need another one in a couple years.
