I have had some amazing games and some abysmal ones with the Adidas Absolado TRX TF football boots. When it comes to playing with power and determination, these boots stand out. Shooting is a pure joy. With every hit, I feel the sweetpot of my foot. At the same time, sometimes, when I need to control the ball and keep it with me, the boot tends to add too much power to a soft touch. When I play with Nike Tiempo, this is not a problem. When it comes to crossing, the 'lines' on the side of the boot reduce the contact of the ball with the leather.

I have mixed feelings about this boot. It all depends on your style of play really. I'm into control as well as power. And for that reason, I'd prefer the Nike Tiempo.
