Viikinki

The cover on this ball has that soft feel right out of the box, and it’s held up through three tough pickup games without any scuffs. Exactly what I needed for dependable midweek training.

The surface feels noticeably softer than my old match balls, which makes first touch way more forgiving. Played a full session in light drizzle and it barely soaked up any water, plus it’s still holding air perfectly days later.

It's a fine ball for practice, though I wish the cover felt a bit grippier in wet conditions. The touch is comfortable enough, but for the price I was expecting a little more pop off the boot. That said, it's held up well over a few weeks of regular use.
