Baden Low Bounce Futsal Practice Ball, Blue/White

Nice ball out of the package but only lasted about a week of indoor soccer before stitching came out and panels started ripping off. By comparison, the Mikasa America Futsal ball lasted about 3 months at our place (indoor soccer on turf). Looks good, plays nicely, but doesn't take a beating. I like the way it plays but not very durable. We have 4 of them and all the same.

This is a great ball for the price, and it arrived promptly and ready to play (already pumped with air).

I have purchased balls via Amazon on different occasions (4 balls), all Baden, all from DIFFERENT vendors, all supposedly #3 size, which is supposed to be 25" circumference according to official standards for Futsal, but all the balls received were significantly smaller size (size unmarked, circumference 22.5"), although they are advertised on Amazon as size #3. And apparently I am not the only one who has experienced this problem, I have heard a few other coaches complain about the same thing, that they just buy local instead, where they can see the size of the ball printed on it. So beware, because besides the quality being so-so, saving about 5 bucks per ball is not really worth the hassle of returning them and having the same thing repeat itself with another vendor. I am not sure who is responsible for this mess, Amazon or the vendors who advertise through them, but just be warned that this confusion exists. Whoever is responsible let them battle it out, don't get involved... life...Read more
