I have had many balls over the years, approx. 6 replicas and 2 originals. I bought ROTEIRO and TANGO 12 balls lately. Both of them are superior balls although any of them is absolutely different, bought them at very low price (33% discount on both of them). ROTEIRO is supposed to be a very contraversional ball for the most of players, not for Beckham or Zidane who like this ball. That ball has got 32 panels that are thermally bonded together. The ball is very durable and after several kicks it even doesn´t have a scratch on it. As a free-kicker, if you really put the power into this ball when kicking it, that´s a weapon and a goalkeeper killer. When you try to catch the ball as a goalkeeper, you must be very careful for the ball not to hit you. It´s like a rolling thunder, the ball flies very fast and goalkeepers should be scared a little in my eyes. On the other hand I do not think that it is an entry level ball, neither good for kids or weaker players. Feels like a bomb when kicked hardly. VERY GOOD BALL, maybe THE BEST for someone including me.
