Mitre though have launched a range, which uses brand new technology called HYPERSEAM. In the past companies including Mitre have tried to produce a ball using sealed seam, rather than stitched. Now Mitre have succeeded and have added the FIFA approved Mitre Manto to the range for 2015.
There are many types of football available to the discerning player, coach and manager. Training balls, match balls and professional balls which each claiming to improve performance and control. Some balls are better than others but we are sure most players couldn't tell too much difference from a £8 ball to a £15 ball. Mitre though have launched a range, which uses a brand new technology called HYPERSEAM. In the past companies including Mitre have tried to produce a ball using sealed seams, rather than stitched. They produced a good ball but the main problem was they had to ship the ball almost fully inflated, which mean't the ball was too expensive for retail. They have now come up with a system that uses the best of both construction methods. The new Hyperseam range will have panels joined together with high tension machine stitches and PU sealed seams. The result is a ball that plays better, lasts longer and moves faster. Also important, the cost of the ball is vastly reduced due to the combined manufacturing techniques, this allows the ball to be partially deflated prior to shipping from the Far East.
