Thanks for the heads-up JNo. I've heard some others mention this as well. I was over at 188's before they left for FLR, as they had an official ball that they subsequently borrowed from 1114. The surface was a lot different than most of the soccer balls we practiced with. We have one soccer ball which had a similar surface which seems to work well with our roller, but there's no replacement for the real deal. I've got my fingers crossed though!
