160 for a ball is absurd , I really wish they were 100 , even 60 for a ball is a lot but then again it is the best of the best...and has ACC🙏

[@datboi9539]

Thanks to Jib theyre slightly cheaper, but yeah... the price ain't for everyone

[@cristiandemirel1918]

the correct retail price for a top of the line match ball should be between 30-40$. that's about 3 times its manufacturing price. there are companies that produce match balls similar in materials and manufacturing process which are being sold for 30-35$. let's say you also pay for the brand, so 50$ would be the most you can honestly ask for a sphere filled with air.

[@BatataComAmor]

There’s also a Nike Flight Club ball that sits between the Strike and Club Elite and is around for 35 $. A good budget option!

[@BustingsticksWithKW]

Can’t disagree with your review, but I’d add for size 3 and 4 balls for youth leagues and teams, there are no other consistent, durable, and affordable balls on the market than the Strike line. I have some 3 years old, used 3-5 times a week on grass and turf, and they still weigh the same, play the same, and a quick scrub in the sink and they look almost new!!

Kautsar Eru Cakra LoL I just did sasuke with a j, from naruto. But that’s pretty funny

[@jstgoalkeeping]

Just a note for people trying to decide whether or not it’s worth spending the money on the high end ball. I’ve had about 50 soccer balls ranging from $10 balls to match balls and if you can find the money then a match ball is 100% worth the investment. Along with feeling more premium and being much more consistent, the big factor for me is the durability. Every takedown ball I’ve bought has fallen apart within less than two years whereas every match ball I’ve gotten over the past 10 years is still in almost perfect condition structurally. If you can, spend the money and get a match ball.

[@jamescartwright3854]

None of my mates understand spending money on a match ball and always poke fun. Every time we play they go for my ordem match ball. But, "tHe BaLl DoEsN't MaKe A dIfErEnCe." 😂

[@sneakyTwat]

I have the adidas euro pass match ball from 2008 which I have used regularly and still use it in 5v5 on artificial turf or just general training . The ball is still in perfect shape holds air as it did from day one and no issues. I bought an adidas mls replica ball in may of last year and haven’t used it anywhere near as much as the 2008 one and it’s in bits, material peeling off doesn’t hold air for more than 2 days etc. I payed 80€ on eBay for the euro pass match ball and 20€ for the adidas mls replica. The match ball if you can get on sale is definitely worth every penny as it’s still in perfect condition.

[@GoodWillRacing]

You can find match balls for less from previous seasons. And yes they do make a big difference in the touch and overall play of the the game. Until you’ve played with match balls you just don’t know.

[@edgarromero6210]

Bro no they don’t 💀 I’ve played with both😂

[@arsenalfanatic09]

i've played with 160 dollar balls and with an adidas takedown 120ish dollar ball, it's not a huge difference between the two. It is worth going to the 50 dollar price point but other than that idk if i'd tell people it's worth spending more than that. the second take-down that's still over $100 is better if you really pay attention but not enough to be twice the price and i don't believe in chasing marginal gains with way more money.

[@GoodWillRacing]

Arsenalfanatic09 you don’t need to spend retail on match balls you can find them for $70-100. Not only that Select makes match balls that are less than the big name brands. Personally I prefer the Adidas Champions League match balls.

[@GoodWillRacing]

Edgar Romero Toe-May-Toe, Tomato. I’ve found the take downs feel too squishy when passing and striking, the finish on them is generally slippery, and their flight when say switching the play from winger to winger just isn’t very true or good. It doesn’t have the firm feel proper match balls do either.

[@lntg]

@@edgarromero6210 dude I just spent 6 weeks in lockdown at my parents place, and the only balls I had were in the 30 bucks price range. I realised so quickly that my expensive footballs were actually worth it. Mind you, I never actually spent the asking price of the ball.

[@meepinandmorpin]

In 2023, the Club Elite is WAY better made than that year’s version. And it’s Quality Pro certified by FIFA.

[@Joshh_2001]

For me I prefer a 32 panned classic construction but I really like the design of this ball both functionally and cosmetically.

[@coltonp107]

For me, I certainly agree with you on the subject of functionality; I find the ball to be quite interesting as well as being intrigued by the science behind it. However, I find the actual appearance of the ball to be a bit, "outlandish", per se.

[@AleABest]

The Club Elite on Nike website is different. It looks glued and has 4 panels as FIight.

[@rodrigocruz501]

Saw that $160 ball at the Nike outlets , passed on that and then saw the Strike ball behind the counter for $25 but had a coupon so came up to $15 😂even though it is a bright pink , looked red inside but a ball is a ball color wise 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@carter2563]

The Club Elite ball that was used in the video was a little misleading. The Club elite balls that we use at my club are the Black and Gold ones. It is heat pressed with no stitching and is more similar to the $160 ball. Idk if the ball used was a prototype or the wrong ball but the ones we use are 60 and are much higher quality. So the ball is better than it seems on this video.

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

It's definitely not great compared to previous Nike balls at that price point.

[@carter2563]

Soccer Reviews For You - Yes, but look at the black and gold Nike club elite online for 60$. It looks a lot different from the one shown on the video. It’s on Nikes website along with others.

[@carter2563]

Soccer Reviews For You it has no stitching and is heat press and made of different materials

Strange that they went away from fuse welding the $60 ball. The Magia balls in last years lineup had very few differences from the Merlin.

[@nathanielhope6696]

Hey Josh, I just rewatched this video after I bought the Premier League Club Elite and noticed the ball you show as the Club Elite is different than the Premier League Club Elite! In the video you describe the Club Elite as having 12 panels and stitched however the Premier League Club Elite that I have in hand is a four panel construction and it is bonded versus stitched panels. 🤔

They had 2 certification before too - FIFA APPROVED and FIFA INSPECTED.

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

That's correct. The FIFA inspected thing is relatively new as well though. I was talking way back 10 years ago, there was only one certification. At least as far as I'm aware. FIFA "Quality" without the "Pro" is the new FIFA "Inspected". Meaningless.

[@aspiregr8]

Josh can you discuss the Nike Magia, its FIFA Approved and part of Nike's current lineup, but doesn't seem to get any recognition despite being FIFA Approved.

[@ArmandoTheHost]

I always bought a 35$ and under ball, and tbh I really like all of the balls. It’s not really a big difference from the 160$ balls for performance. Also bc I’m broke😁, but I have played with a match ball

[@AleABest]

OMG. That Flight joke wins best worst joke of the year. And that is quite hard considering Jay Mike´s efforts.

[@BugWalk]

Nike Flight 3D micro texture makes all the difference in rain/wet/snow. I have not played before with a ball which touch/feel or rather grip would be so close to dry conditions. The Flight could be bought for like 65$ (in "generic" colours - yellow/blue/orange with a Serie A stamp or Tinkoff Premier Liga stamp) back in January in Europe but it is back into 130's. UPDATE: A bubble formed on the ball - returning the ball for a refund :(

[@BarcaPatrick9]

If La Liga stuck with this one...the high visual variation it wouldve looked real nice with a yellow/red colorway

[@og_sane]

As a previous and current owner of Nike matchballs, I may be buying the Flight at some point when it becomes a little cheaper. Although I gotta say I'm disappointed at my previous two matchballs from Nike that I had, Ordem 2 and 3. Both lasted for only about 1-2 years and then went broken. I know it depends where you used the balls and I think both of my Ordems went broken because they hit a rock too many times. Still, I think they should've lasted for more. I then bought the Ordem 5 a few years back end it's still fine. It's the surface in all those Ordems which is really not the best for hard conditions. And with that I mean if there's rocks or rocky are close to the pitch you're using the ball. I don't think my balls went broken just by using them in a match. Just for example, I think that Select Brillant Super is a more durable ball than any Nike matchball. And also the Puma La liga Final 2 (La liga matchball of season 2019/20). In the end, I've always lowed my Nike marcballs. Yes they're expensive, but it feels good to kick a professional football 💪🏻💯. There's sometimes discounts in Finnish sportstores where they sell marcballs for 50-80€ and I think it's an ok deql. Thanks for the video from Finland.

[@yashsharma-zc1ej]

Pls do one for unifornia balls

[@horvathbence23]

Love your videos Josh, but I'm pretty sure that the second most expensive ball, the Club Elite is not hand-stitched, and you were holding a Nike Club ball in your hand, which retails for 35 euros. So the Nike ball line from cheap to expensive: Flight ball - Club Elite ball - Club ball - Strike ball - Pitch ball.
