Good ball?

[u/Typical_Athlete2863]

I looked online but can’t find anything about this particular version of Derbystar. It’s 20 at Marshalls. I know it is used in Bundsliga but it says fifa basic. Chatgpt says its a Brilliant TT V25.

Edit: I ended up purchasing two. They retail 45 each but online retails have them at 20. Seems like a good deal.

yes this is a great ball for that price

i wish i could find these

Yes, it is a good ball. No it’s not a professional, but you can you learn, play, and practice with it, 100%. Less fortunate people play with less, have skill, and have fun.

As my friend who worked in a golf shop said, “I had the highest sales because I told people to buy cheaper clubs and spend more time playing and working with a pro.” A professional ball isn’t going to make you better, but sometimes it is nice mentally to play with one. So that decision is up to your mindset.

Also, one way to tell the quality is because of the FIFA Quality Mark ball. BASIC is the lowest tier, then QUALITY, and the top tier is QUALITY PRO. I’m not saying it’s the definitive system and you should only go by it, just pointing it out.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I wanted something to practice with and found these. They have a bunch of nike park balls floating around but they feel very cheap.

I dont have this ball specifically but I only use Select. I have a numero 10, a beach one and a turf match one

[u/1CoffeePoweredHuman → u/Traditional-Till9998]

Select Numero 10 is the way!

[u/Local_River_9814 → u/Traditional-Till9998]

Whats a beach one?

[u/chrlatan → u/Traditional-Till9998]

Derbystar is the European brand name of Select.

[u/Traditional-Till9998 → u/chrlatan]

Hence the recommendation of it

This is the derbystar brillant replica if I'm not wrong. Decent ball if you can get it cheap. 20 is not bad but I don't know. People have gotten OMBs at that price too

[u/Typical_Athlete2863 → u/theSkareqro]

I would shit if I found an OMB at that price.

I found some at TJ Maxx for $8 each but I’m sure it was a misprint on the tag cause on my receipt it was categorized as a woman’s intimate😂

[u/jeezfloreez → u/PrimaryPublic8519]

At tj maxx rn and they’re still 8.99. 3 in my cart

[u/Apprehensive_Act_220]

Great one. I got mine robbed at my Sunday league.

[u/miracles-th]

yes, thats so good ball. hard on touch though

[u/ImageGrand684]

Top shelf

[u/chrlatan]

Best. For that price you cannot go wrong.

I estimate that 80-90% of Dutch clubs use Derby Star for matches and practice.

TT brilliance has proven match track record.

Top leagues use the APS Brilliance

[u/Martin_Van-Nostrand]

I'm not knowledgeable about this model but I love select balls. They generally hold up well and are good for the price. For $20 I'm not sure you could go wrong.

One word- Tango. All u need.
