The Teamgeist isn't a truncated cube, it's a truncated octahedron! With a truncated octahedron, you can simply distort the edges without changing the number of verticies or faces. With a truncated cube, you have to turn the triangles into hexagons and the octagons into sqares, tranforming it into a truncated octahedron. I understand that people are more familiar with cubes, but really, that's definitely a truncated octohedron.

@johnyapple84475 жыл бұрын
The Jabulani is the best and easiest to control in my opinion. I don’t like the weight of the Brazuca because it makes it more difficult to curve. The Teamgeist is fun to kick, but it’s harder to aim. The hexagonal/octagonal balls came in multiple different textures over the years, but all of them were very easy to bend-difficult to kick straight though. The Telstar (2018) is very nice to kick, but it’s so difficult to control compared to the Jabulani. As much as others may hate the Jabulani, I love it.

I've played with all of them since Fevernova. It's true the Teamgeist and Jabulani have both crazy flights. This is espacially not good for goalkeepers because powerful shots are hard to predict. This years Brazuca is in my opinion the best ball that has ever been created. Adidas did a great job. Not only the ball looks sick it plays VERY well!

The best ball yet is Adidas Tango 12, that was used on Euro 2012 (Ukraine-Poland).This ball has perfect grip and ideal flight capability. And yes, I tested Teamgeist, Tango 12 and Brazuca myself. For me is without a doubt - Tango 12 is a clear winner. The best knuckle ball you can do with Tango 12.

I never knew that the soccer balls were related to the platonic solids. The video mentioned that the Teamgeist and the Jabulani flew differently, and that the depth of the seams might have had to do with the flight. My question is that may the fact that those two out of the four World Cup balls were the ones that had both a propeller and another shape have to do with the flight?
@TippingPointMath9 жыл бұрын
Flight has to do with depth of seams and the smoothness of the surface.

I have the Fevernova, Azteca, Telstar Durlast 74, Jabulani, and Brazuca. I have to say the ball that gets the best rave reviews at our games is the 74 Telstar, its a predictable ball from what Ive heard and experienced, if u hit its sweet spot consistently, it pretty much does what you try to do, i recently found out its made of leather, i wonder if that plays a role in its predictability?

Air flow over the surface of a ball will have a massive effect on how much it can curve according to spin. Especially when kicked at high speeds, as seen in world cup games.

Night Angel Yeah, but they are actually all spheres, just stitched together in different ways, as all of the faces are curved additionally.

Katzen4u Except the seams are different. Deeper seams, more seams. More seams are, I imagine, more traction on the air. So slower but curves much more. I imagine deeper seams also give it more air traction.

Adidas has really reinvented the art of the soccer ball with its new flashy designs and reduced # of panels. However, I wonder which ball the players like the best, from the 70's to the Brazuca. Also, I'd like to know more about how the seam depth affects the flight of the ball.
@epicjuju18469 жыл бұрын
So, over time the World Cup balls have had fewer and fewer panels. If this year the ball had 6 panels, will Adidas find a way to make a ball with less in 2018? Also, is it because the Teamgeist's panels were thermally bonded that it flew differently?
@vangledosh9 жыл бұрын
Pretty much, yes. It was much rounder due to fewer panels which where thermally bonded, so air resistance could dictate the flight more erratically. If you were to kick the ball with no spin, also known as 'knuckle balling' you could make the ball do all sorts of crazy shit. The jabulani was best for its erratic flight pattern.
