Mitre Launches New Tensile Ball
Football brand Mitre has launched a new product, the Tensile ball, which it claims is the most advanced football in the world.
According to Mitre, the Tensile is a revolution in football design and technology, comprised of just 10 panels and has over 30% less stitching. This optimises power and efficiency, improving airflow, reducing drag on the ball and increasing the average speed of a shot.
The ball is the first of its kind and will be used in all Football League and Scottish Premier League (SPL) matches from the beginning of the 2010/11 season.
Each of the 72 Football League clubs and 12 SPL Clubs will each have their specially designed ball for the new season printed in club colours and with club badges.
The Tensile ball will retail at £74.99 in selected outlets across the UK.
