Pros: durable, value for money, excellent feel, only gets better with age...if you care for it...
Cons: ink design fades over time, but does this matter?
The Bottom Line: Its a top training ball, representing excellent value for money, touch and durability...

| wankski's Full Review: Puma King |
Most of the time I have to look for a ball well over a hundred aussie bucks (about half that in USD) if I want one that will kick properly with good response, feel and durability....
This ball achieves all that, and I only paid $AUD50 dollars for it !
first, the touch is excellent, responsive without being overly light... also makes a distinctive thud when u hit it right, perfect for training purposes...
second, its durability is excellent, I'm not exactly roberto carlos, but i can hit, and this ball has retained it shape and feel into its second year of heavy use... of course it never sees any surface other than grass, but i havent even cared to deflate it in the off season !
the only bad aspects of the ball is that it has well and truly faded and even the white has yellowed, but i care not, the most important thing is that it hits and feels as good as new (after the break-in period, which was unnervingly longer than usual)... in fact it seems to respond better, rather than worse to age, and all the panels are in perfect condition...
on the whole a nice ball to train with to hone one's skills, and not too expensive at all..
