SelectBlaze DB Soccer Ball

Practice match

I bought this ball for casual pick-up games with coworkers. It quickly became our favorite ball to use. This ball is light, visible, and offers a good touch and handling. I can't speak much for the durability, since it's a pretty recent buy, but it looks sturdy enough. It also seems to hold air well so far, it's been a few weeks without an air refill, and it's still good. All in all, A+.

After some research, I decided to go with this ball as it seemed of high quality. After filling up, I instantly noticed it started to lose air and had to keep refilling it. The next morning I noticed it was completely deflated, so I ordered a replacement. I receive the second ball and same issue - its defective. I'm a bit disappointed in the quality of this ball especially for the price.

My son goes through 2-3 soccer balls a year. This select ball has held up the best to his training regimen. Keeps its shape and grip way past what the other top names have. This is the only ball I buy him now.

EDIT:I reached out to the manufacturer directly and they sent me a replacement. When that one was even worse, they sent me one from a new line that was just manufactured, which retains air beautifully. While I'm disappointed that the first two balls were faulty, I am glad that they continued to work to solve the problem.----Despite some of the bad reviews, I thought I'd take a chance on this ball. Unfortunately, I got one of the lemons and it won't retain air. Worse, Amazon won't take an exchange and I'm not having any luck contacting the manufacturer. Do NOT recommend.

Stays inflated for a while

If you can keep your player from kicking any ball against a chain link fence or brick wall you can have a ball last one season. This ball on this will last multiple seasons. Great cover, great flight through the air. Easily steered, built to take the normal abuse on the field and the goal posts.

College coach - purchased these as practice balls. Of the 8 balls received, one is completely defective. Won't hold air long enough to even make it thru a practice. One other needs air daily. That is 25% defect rate. We like these soccer balls but even the 'good ones' definitely need to be pumped up more than the lesser priced Wilson balls we also use. I reported this past the 30 day return window, unable to return. Disappointed with the quality here - hoping to hear from Select. Will not buy Select again
