Now-a-days you might have noticed a different football used in Seria, World cup, etc. This football is gradually gaining popularity and will replace traditional football. This is the all new Adidas ball made up of only 8 pieces. The traditional ball is mostly hand made with 14 pieces of football material joined together. You might have seen regular hexagons and pentagons in those balls. The new ball doesn't have such things. It is just made up of 8 pieces joined together. Advantage of the new ball is that it offers more curl in the air and requires only less amount of shot power. New technology like transmitter ICs, can be integrated with this one. It is more lighter and easy to handle for the goal-keepers. But on the negative side, it is more difficult to make because you won't get a perfect spherical shape with only 8 pieces. Irregular symmetry will result into unpredictable swing that will annoy the goal-keepers. But as a whole this looks great and easier to handle. So it is better to have a few in your practice grounds before the actual match.
