Select Numero 10 Soccer Ball Sz 5 (EA)

I love my Adidas Top Training balls--MLS Nativo and Champion League. However, the Select Numero 10 is a little lighter and less padded, offering a different variety of play. It is NFHS-approved. It is a little slicker than the Adidas balls and requires a higher inflation. These characteristics make the ball fly farther and faster with less kicking force.The inflation hole is a little difficult to find--look under the the ball's barcode, in the upside down pentagon containing a fancily-drawn triangle with the word "SELECT" under it. Hole for needle is in the middle of the triangle.Be aware that ball comes deflated, as many do. You'll want a good pump and ball pressure gauge--regardless of what type of inflated balls you own (soccer ball, foot ball, volley ball, basketball, etc.). I purchased Tachikara's dual-action ball pump, as well as their ball pressure gauge, here on Amazon, and love them. You will be surprised how deflated your balls are, even though they feel properly pumped. A properly inflated ball makes a big difference in playability.

I am a long time Select user. Over the years I've purchased mostly Select Numero 10 and Brine Phantom soccer balls. The 2018/2019 Select Numero 10 is a great ball. It has excellent feel, especially when inflated to the minimum 10psi. I would rate this year' Numero 10 as better than the Select Royale I had a couple of years ago. Would buy again without a second thought.

This new Select Numero 10 size 4 ball is fantastic. I love the new design, touch, bounce and feel. My 11 year old daughter didn’t know there could be such a difference with a quality ball. The ball pictured was played on synthetic turf and wasn’t cleaned yet. As to inflation, simply pump air regularly and set the correct pressure, between 8.5 and 10.5 psi, with a gauge. Try out various pressures to find your ideal one.

My players have enjoyed Select balls for nearly 2 decades now. I haven't had them in awhile since the club had been furnishing Adidas balls as that was the apparel agreement in place. THis year we went to Capelli Sport and balls were not in the agreement. I went back to Select and couldnt find a deal online that was free shipping too. Amazon had the deal and we bought 10 bags worth. Good feel, not the most durable ball, but a convenient deal on a good ball.I wish Select would use a spring loaded drawcord rahter than the nylon stop they use. It doesnt work very well and tying it just make it a pain to get into the bag. Their method, the balls fall out when getting them out of the car.

I've bought possibly 15 Select Futsal Balls and now this Select soccer ball. I haven't used this soccer ball much but it appears to be as good as their futsal balls. Select balls don't last forever but their match/training balls are pretty durable compared to the competition. Select balls are better designed and definitely cheaper than the more expensive brands. The worst thing about Select balls is that no matter how many times I pump them with air, I have a difficult time finding the air hole. This ball is no different. Also Select makes a lot of different types of balls, and they don't advertise the differences very well. For example, the glossy balls are somewhat slippery but last longer than the non-glossy balls. If you have the money to replace the balls more often, buy the fake leather ones and make sure to dry them out when wet.

I'm old school. Back when I was playing in college some of the best soccer balls were made by Brine. So, this is my first purchase in quite a while. So, here are my notes...PROS: Great feel and touch - the dimpled surface looks cool visually and is a fun differentiator between other balls. This ball is light and has good traction without being too sticky like some foam surfaced balls. The ball arrived without air but aired up in good shape.CONS: The ball loses a considerable amount of air. A long time ago I barely ever had to air up my soccer ball. I feel that this ball sucks up more air at least once a week. Very inconvenient if you don't always have a pump on hand. Also, can we get some other color options up in here?!Conclusion: Good ball, great feel. I would purchase again but would always have a pump on hand.

My family has had a couple Select soccer balls. The Numero 10 is a great value ball that can be used in practice and in youth games at any level. For people that complain about them losing air; you need to understand they have a latex bladder and that is a trade off for better touch/feel on the ball. Only issue I have is the newer designed cover (or outer layer) tends to scratch easier than the older models.If you are looking for a more durable ball that retains its air (sacrificing touch and looks) I would go for the Baden Thermo Soccer Ball.

After inflating the ball to the correct psi, I found that it was not perfectly round. When rolling the ball on a flat surface it veers off to one side or another due to the shape. This was very disappointing as I spent a little extra than I wanted and was hoping to have the nicest ball I have ever owned. The attached picture is the best I could take in order to show the shape problem. Also attached is psi reading to show it was inflated to the correct amount.

It's a very decent ball at the end of the day. But I have to pump it every week or two and it gets very annoying when I forget my pump and bring it to the field. Wouldn't buy again.

El balón es bueno, pero no honestamente esperaba más calidad para ser profesional, se siente ligero, lo ocupo para el fútbol 7 y los equipos siempre prefieren jugar con otro balón.
