Viking

After three weeks of twice-weekly pickup games on turf, the cover still looks fresh and honestly feels better than balls twice its price. The soft touch is immediate on first touch, and it holds up to hard shots without losing shape.

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.
