My teen plays a LOT of soccer almost daily. Needed about 8 balls for his field bag. I got tired of replacing the cheap ones every other month. They warp, peel, stop flying right, and generally come apart. These are a perfect compromise. Not the cheapest option, but after seven months of VERY heavy usage by a squad of teens playing club soccer at a high level they are in darn near perfect condition except for the obvious cosmetic signs of heavy use (scuff marks, etc). Structurally they are in perfect shape. I would have had to replace the cheap ones at least once, maybe twice by now. Only catch is I do get some cheap heavy duty balls for wall ball exercises (going on concrete or asphalt to take shots at a cement wall like at a school, etc). You don't need a lot of soccer balls on hand for that drill, maybe two. So 6 - 8 of these, 2 heavy duty cheapies and you're probably set for a year, probably more, of quality play.
