This ball has great touch response and for a reasonable price. If you want a ball that is a couple steps up from your regular practice ball but doesn't cost you $100...this is the one.

Merchant took about a week and a half to send product.

The ball was completely deflated and folded into itself when it arrived. After pumping it fully, it took a couple weeks to take on a smooth round shape. This was inconvenient, but it might have cost more to ship the ball inflated. All in all, the product is good and the service is fast and accurate.

I played soccer for 13 years and now occasionally play with friends. I found this ball at this low price and could not turn it down. It is an excellent quality ball that has a real nice touch to it.

I ordered this item as a gift for my boyfriend. Upon opening it, he said he thought it was too small, even though it says "size 5" on it. We even measured it, and just as he though, it was too small. It was more like a size 4. Size 5 soccer balls should be about 27-28 inches in circumference, this ball was only 26 inches when fully inflated (size 4 balls are 25-26 inches around).

I would not recommend wasting your money or time.

I researched this ball a lot, and bought it for about $50 at a local sporting goods store. I am reviewing the ball, not the seller. I wanted to like this ball. I wear Adidas Copa's and thought a Brine ball would be the classical equivalent in a ball to my classic boots. I haven't been impressed. I want to like this ball, I tried to like this ball...but I can't. It's just not enjoyable to play with. Headers are dangerous and the ball just won't pop off my foot like I had hoped. I have since purchased the Brine NCAA Championship Ball, which looks very similar, but trust me it is much better and you can find it for only about ten dollars more...go with the Brine NCAA Championship ball...

I got this ball expecting it to be very high quality ball. Instead it had a pretty bad defect in the stitching and I noticed it does not have the NCAA stamp of approval like the old Phantom Brine balls. The stitching also looked kind of rough. I played with it once and it seemed to fly smooth and over all it's not bad. But not what I expected. The company did give me a full refund and let me keep the ball. So kudos there.

My son did research online and really wanted this ball. I found it on Amazon for a GREAT price, so we were both thrilled with the purchase.
