4:46 I totally agree with you! I noticed that from the 2019-20 Derbystar ( White / Blue / Grey / Black ) The colors were definitely less grippy/slippery than the white panels. As for the glue, I could’ve sworn they stitched the panels & glued over the stitches..... 5:07 It’s “knurled” 😉

[@LolaChewie]

I love playing with the Select Brillant Super/Derbystar Brillant APS. Has really nice feel when kicking, but I really love the feel when doing headers or blocking shots when playing in defense. My only negative is the durability of the patterns. Eventually the marking wear off. Even when only using for matches and only on natural grass.

[@jvliverpool873]

True. After a week or so the coloring starts to fade off.

[@cooperhawk988]

Select balls are the best hands down. My 10 year old son has an adidas champions league replica ball (top replique), Nike strike, and a Select Numero 10. He only takes his Select ball to training, and tries his hardest to get his ball used in matches. The Select Numero 10 is around the same price as those Nike and Adidas balls, but it's so much better!!

[@mathewdaly8515]

What is the quality difference between a non match ball like the Nike Strike, and a match ball like the Nike Merlin. Is it worth investing in match balls? I have 8 Nike strike balls and a few select brilliant super balls, but aside from how long they last ive noticed minimal difference. Thoughts?

[@issaclukose4011]

Hey Josh! Just wondering what the difference is between the Select Brilliant Super and the regular Select Super. I found the Select Super on sale for $79.95 and was wondering whether that would be the better bang for my buck when compared to a Select Brilliant Super for $93.26? Hope you can help.

[@juarte10]

Would love the higher end balls but it'd get stolen where I'm from lol

[@him.m48chiavelli]

[@DriftJhawk]

Assume most players own more than one soccerball/football so it's worth it to keep one pro quality matchball in your rotation. If budget is a concern just wait until the next season's ball comes out or until the year after a major tournament.

[@Jkennyy_]

Can you review the whole select range of balls? I feel there is no video on youtube comparing all of their wonderful products. I just puchased the select tempo TB but i had a tough time figuring out what is the difference between all the balls in their range :)

Is the 200$ cad adidas fifa ball worth it? Seems like a scam to me.

Test our sendra balls. I’ve seen them around and played with one and it feels great

[@SterlingSigurdsen]

I have to agree with you that balls should have some consistency if it’s going to be FIFA Pro. And yes once you get to a level that you know what type of equipment you like, you would like to continue to use that. I not only play football, i also surf, and i know for me i like a certain design surfboard for certain waves. Like my go to board is a 6’0” x 18 3/4” x 2 3/32 with single concave. My boots are Adidas Nemeziz 17.1 and 17+ because for me they feel the best. So i totally agree to you if you are playing in a certain league you would like the balls to be the same across the board. Great video as always. Also, what’s the old saying? If it is not broke don’t mess with it or try to fix it. Hence why we still see thee 32 panel design.

[@melbournesocialsoccerinc.8705]

Thanks for the review. It's really helpful. Our organisation might need a better ball for our games.

[@jamilchowdhury5560]

Hey Josh quick question : I bought the phantom vsn elite and the quad fit squeezes my foot and feels very tight and like it may cramp. Do you think I should break them in because you said they do stretch a little bit to conform to wider feet(I have wide feet but nothing excessive as I have tried the puma future 5.1 and it is a little too wide). I’m also considering getting the nemeziz 19.1 or venom elite instead. I like a snug fit but am just worried they won’t stretch and I’ll be stuck with a boot that is too tight. Thanks

[@blueshells50]

[@simoncaton1226]

Hey Jose, remember when you did the best cheap what’s in my soccer bag? Did you want to do a 2020. I remember this now because you had a Select ball in the original video.

[@chinesenaugen69]

I guess what truly does make a difference regarding patterns on footballs is the handling for goalkeepers. I myself notice when a ball is firmer or has much more noticeable stitching.

Hey Josh, what ball would you recommend to buy in a pack of maybe 6 or 8 that can be purchased on a budget

[@BravoPet]

Hi Josh, can you please confirm that this ball's panels are hand stitched? I just bought one of these from a reputable online store, received the ball today, I am almost certain that those panels are thermally glued together like most of the FIFA APPROVED soccer ball lately. As a matter of fact even in your video, it's not like you can really see the "stiches". Only excessive glue can be seen and a nice smooth seam between the panels. I can see the stamp on the ball "HSB" , but I am not really convinced.

[@thetankfc4254]

I bought the brillant super ball from like 2 years ago which had the original price of 150 euro's so I'm nearly sure that it is top end. Well to be honest I've been disappointed with the ball as it feels a little simple, thin and hard. After hours of kicking the ball my feet kinda hurt due to the ball. I also use the adidas euro 2016 ball, the one just under the official match ball, well it feels softer, it is comfortable and with it I can make my strongest, consistent and confident shots. I'm pretty sure select is a good brand but I dont think I would use their ball over the adidas euro match ball and the one just under as well as the same two from nike. They fell more comfortable and I dont get tired of hitting it non stop after 2,3,4h of practice. I wonder why is my brillant super so underperforming, is it not a match ball and even so it was 150 euro's oven if I bought it on sale for 50

[@kachler67]

The Brillant Super only has 2mm of foam padding beneath the skin as far as I can tell, the TB (thermo bonded) version offers 4mm and seems a bit softer.

i have question i m about to buy the cheaper version of debbystar budelsliga ball but its saying there different weights it goes till weight 3 and my ball weight is weight 1 so if i buy it is it then too light or its normal thats my concern plase answer to my question

[@AleABest]

For me, the reason OMB (and top tier boots) are so expensive is because the people that care about tiers are us, the nerds that really value this stuff. Brands know that for us, having the OMB is a big deal and take advantage of that. People that value the ball they use very little don't care about that the differences in tiers and are not willing to pay that much money for the OMB.

[@rawansuccarieh1358]

Is there a huge difference between select brilliant super tb(this one) and the normal brilliant super?

[@lepari9986]

Yes. TB is thermal bonded and has the dimples on the surface. TB is superior and lighter to kick, but it shows in the price.

[@lepari9986]

The regular Brillant super feels more like regular classic football and TB is an amazing football but a step into direction of Nike & Adidad top models, while being better than them (haven't tested the new Nike yet though)

When you kick a Pro ball you never go back. They feel different and unless you have kicked millions of balls you wont tell the difference. Little things like when youre juggling and the ball looks so so round and feels so good when the ball touches your foot. Its like when you feel something plasticque and then you feel something of solid metal.

[@mendyWZRD]

Hey Jesse. What’s different about a ball that is specifically made for AG surfaces?

[@Soccerreviewsforyou]

It depends on the specific ball, but the one thing that is typically consistent is a different bladder, which reduces the bounce of the ball. On a nice AG pitch, I'd say an AG ball is worse, because it won't bounce like a normal ball would, but on an AG pitch with minimal padding where a normal ball would bounce too much/too high, and AG ball is good. They're not super common.
