League Launch New Match Ball |
Mitre, the Official Supplier of footballs to The Football League, has launched a new football for the 2005/2006 season. The Pro 100T, which will be used in all Football League competitions – the Coca-Cola Football League, Carling Cup and LDV Vans Trophy – has a 26-panel straight seam construction making it truly round and ensuring controllable aerodynamics. The ball is faster, has a larger sweet spot, is more controllable and has recorded a top speed of more than 100mph. A Mitre spokesman said: “The Pro 100T gives control back to the players. Ball development is Mitre’s business and is an ongoing process. On average it takes four years to develop a new professional matchball and as we launch the Pro 100T its successor is already in development.
