Jabulani?
Those things are so insanely light, we'd have Paston taking shots at goal with every touch at RoF

I like too. I got a mini premier league ball same design except black where the red is and blue where the black is. Saw the a-league ball in rebel sport(where i got the prem ball from) but was too poor so i had to get the mini premiership ball.

They are not light - in fact they are at the heavier end of the regulation FIFA ball weight
The science part..
For FIFA approval, the ball must meet the following metrics:
- Circumference: 68.5 to 69.5cm (Jabulani: 69.0 +/- 0.2)
- Roundness, or diameter: Maximum 1.5 percent deviation (Jabulani: max 1.0 percent difference)
- Water Absorption: After the ball is pressed and rotated in water 250 times, maximum 10 percent weight increase. (Jabulani: 0 percent weight increase)
- Weight: 420 to 445 grams (Jabulani: 440 +/- 0.2 grams)
- Uniform Rebound: The ball is dropped ten times onto a steel plate from a height of two meters. The difference from the lowest to the highest bounce can be no more than 10 cm. (Jabulani�s range: 143 to 149 cm)
- Loss of Air Pressure, after three days of inflation : 20 percent loss, maximum (Jabulani: 10 percent maximum loss)
When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

I like to see what the average bounce range for other balls is...
I've never seen a stranger ball than the Jabulani, it is weirdly shiny and weirdly round. It's the proverbial pig, there is no doubt about that
Normo's coming home

OK, well I should say "compared to the ones we normally use" then :P
I have a Puma football which is also of the shinier lighter variety. I find it very strange people prefer to kick around balls of concrete.
Anyone know how much the A-League football in the above pics are worth?

Replica's are worth $40 at rebel sport. Actual match quality balls are usually about $150.
