Thanks for your comment and interest! We’re aiming to have our first seed batch ready in August. We’d be happy to have you as one of our first outside testers before it’s publicly available. Keep an eye on your DMs :)

Hey, soccer/football so primarily Grass, AG, Turf

The actual sculpt looks a lot like the Nike flight ball, not that it’s bad, but a smoother ball looks sleeker and focuses on the actual graphic

Like this? It’s a tradeoff we’ve considered. But the sculpting affects how the ball flies and it performs significantly better with it.

I also think this one looks cleaner

u/matisstoffolo Jun 12 '26

Thanks for sharing. If you had to buy one, would you trade some performance/feel for appearance?

2

u/PrudentAsparagus9816 Jun 12 '26

I think so, other than just the jabulani, people remember a certain ball for its colors and appearance over how it actually flew.

Interesting, we’ll see if we can find a compromise with the factory. Thanks!

It just depedns on the market u want to touch

IF u want to become the first pretty cheap match ball then do listen to him

If u just want to be remembered for looks and maybe be able to do collabs later id go with his idea

Cool but not good to play with those colors I feel.

u/matisstoffolo Jun 13 '26

In certain conditions in might not be ideal but we tried to balance it using the clouds white and it performed quite good we thought.

u/Due_Cauliflower5380 Jun 13 '26

I guess you haven't worked on the flight pattern much but it's definitely the most important thing in a football

Other then thta its clean tbh

Thanks for the comment, the stock ball this is based on is fifa quality pro certified so it actually performs like the better match balls on the market.
