adidas F50 Xite Soccer Ball (Black/Blue, Size 3)

This is a well-made ball in that it seems tough and durable. Its skin seems thicker than most cheap soccer balls for kids. The only problem is that it is a little oblong in one place. Not enough to make it unusable though given where my boys are in their soccer skills.

Bought these for my 11 year olds who play travel soccer. The balls are a hit at practice--everyone wants to use them. They look good and feel good on the field. Love the stitching. Would definitely buy more.

I'm a coach for a U9 and U12 soccer team. I purchased this ball just to add dollars to my order to get the free shipping. To my surprise, the ball was great quality and since I only had one ball, both my kids fight over it for their soccer practice. It's soft for head shots but a good feel and control for kicks. I'm surprised that one ball can be so different. I'm ordering more today!

This ball seemed a little small (more like a 3 than a 4); but once fully inflated was ok. It is very sturdy and designs are sharp. Outer layer is cushioned, kicks nice.

The F50 Xite is a terrific training ball. It's great for a kid who wants something more interesting than the standard soccer ball, but it's also a really high-quality ball in almost every category. It's reasonably sticky but not too sticky, has a great feel to it and is very well balanced. Awesome and extremely fun ball -- hard to explain why exactly. It just has a magnetic "feel" that everyone who uses it seems to really appreciate. It's my favorite of about 10 balls rolling around the place. The one small semi criticism is it's very light. This is great when it comes to booting the ball around inside the house or backyard. But it does catch the wind a bit more than a standard ball. Also if you're really serious about training for a regulation match ball, the F50 might be a bit on the lightweight side. But with all that, the F50 is a terrific ball at a great price.
