This is an excellent non-professional match ball, suitable for club, high school, and training purposes. The outer skin is smooth, thermally bonded (seamless), and has a softer padded panel as compared to the professional UEFA grade match ball. The ball has a good feel and well balanced as advertised. Although the outer skin is smooth - it feels "sticky" - has a lot of friction to it making it an excellent ball for practicing dribbling and control. The feel and construction is the same or very similar to a 2008 MLS match ball.Depite the silver color of the photo - the ball is all white with black/yellow trim.
With thermal bonding - I found you need to keep the ball well inflated at all times. I deflated a thermal bonded ball for travel and the seams cracked and broke when deflated - bad move. I inflated the ball and it works as before, but water now can get into the ball.
I gave the ball 4/5 stars because there are very small ripples in the skin - unlike the professional UEFA match ball which was perfect and remains so after a year+ of use in indoor soccer games. But for $40 at Amazon.com - this is an excellent buy.
