Sorry team . This isn't it
Do not buy this ball if you do any kicking. Gilbert completely ruined their flagship ball by forcing the new "Duo Valve" housing directly into the seam line.Because a flat, rigid plastic valve casing is glued inside a curved seam, it creates a permanent physical bulge that warps the ball. Because kickers rely on the seam for alignment, this flaw completely ruins the ball's performance:Ruins Drop Kicks & General Play: When you are trying to line up a drop kick or a tactical punt on the fly, you don't have time to inspect the ball with defense rushing in .on a drop kick, its almost a gamble. If your boot strikes that specific seam during play, it feels like kicking a brick, completely deadens the energy transfer, and causes instant misdirection.Won't Sit on the Tee: For place kicking, the physical bulge forces the ball to sit crooked, tilt, and wobble on a regulation tee. It destroys your alignment, muscle memory, and consistency.For over $300, a match ball must be perfectly symmetrical. This was engineered for TV data tracking, not for the players actually kicking it. Save your money and buy a Barbarian instead
