This is my first "match quality" ball. One of the reviewers mentioned that the stitching is not visible. That's a *good* thing, since the ball doesn't take up as much water on a wet field (it does pick up some) and it glides faster through the air. And boy does it glide! It seems to pick up speed in the air much faster than other ball I played with. Goalies hate that. This ball is not "sticky", so it's not the best dribbling ball around, and you can't bend it as much. My ball doesn't hold the air very well - it needs to be pumped up a bit from week to week. After a year of rather intensive play, it looks a bit more worn out than I'd like, but there are no cuts, so it should last for two more seasons or so. All the "damage" is purely cosmetic, not structural. Would I buy it again? For the $40 I paid, yes, without thinking twice. $60? I'd probably look at other alternatives before making a final decision, but don't get me wrong, this is a very good ball.

This is a great ball for $60. True to its size 5
and weigth, not like some of the NHFS size 5 balls
such as Select Numero 10.

You can't find better deal than here.

I just got my Grand Stade soccer ball today and it looks ALOT nicer than in the pictures. It looks quite awsome actually. The only bad things about the ball is that it doesnt seem as 'soft' as I thought it be, and I dont see where it was hand stitched (maybe they hand stitched the inside?)
