Puma Soccer BallsPuma soccer balls are few and far between with this sports giant concentrating sports clothing and other equipment. Puma have therefore done a great job when it comes to the new offering of match ball. They have managed to design a match football which can compete with other companies who have invested heavily in R & D in this area.
The latest offering from Puma is the Puma V1.08. This ball uses what Puma call d3o technology. The word Puma use to describe this ball is that it can create “intelligent behaviour” dependant on how hard the ball is kicked. At low impact speeds the cushioning layer of the ball retains its soft feel.
Alternatively when this ball is hit at high speed the d3o molecules lock together instantly increasing the balls acceleration off the foot. A recent study carried out by Hallam University in Sheffield, England concluded that Puma V1.08 accelerates 6% faster off the foot than the previous Puma V1.06. This study also showed that this particular Puma football accelerated faster than all other leading brands top match ball.
