STEVE 0-1 MITRE SOCCER LITE BALL

Advantages: GOOD SOLID BALL - STAYS IN THE AIR - BOUNCES WELL - TRUSTWORTHY BRAND
Disadvantages: TAKES A WHILE TO PUMP UP - WOULDN'T RECOMMEND TO USE BARE FOOT

.... When you hit the ball correctly you know it as the ball doesn't move through the air it is like an arrow into the direction you booted it. You can also curl the ball pretty well as the weight distribution in the ball is centre orientated so it will spin and curl if you do it correctly. It isn't a heavy ball like other mitre balls I have played with where they hardly bounce and just float around the pitch rarely going over waist height but this ball isn't like that. It is good for free kicks as the ball can either be blasted or placed into any area you want it to with great accuracy. I have also had some bad times using this ball like for instance after being subsituted I took off my boots and sat on the sidelines. Minutes later the ball flew into my direction only for me to be totally unaware I had taken my boots off ... anyway...

Review of Mitre Soccer Lite Match Ball

Pro ball

Advantages: Maintains it shape, correct weight, feels great when you strike it.
Disadvantages: Very expensive

...When you consider a leather football can cost as little as £5 from some of the budget Sports retailers, it may astound some of you to realise that the Mitre Ultimax Pro ball retails at £45!!! Yes, you heard right. That is a big step up from the prices we pay. Yet the requirements of football may of us require is simply to be round and pumped up. However, when you are at a sufficient level of play, balls do make a difference. I count myself as a competent footballer who has found the game to lat in life to make a difference. Perhaps if I had found the passion I now have in my formative years, I could have gone on and done something. Anyway, back to the ball... The reason I mad the last few statements was to prove I know the difference between a cheapo ball and a good one. A good ball must have tight seams, multiple panels and most...

Review of Mitre Ultimax Ball

Its on the ball

Advantages: efective little cleaner
Disadvantages: Noisy

...I have a small home so when I needed a new vacuum cleaner I chose the Dyson DC24 which is a smaller version of the standard model. It cost £189.99. I was expecting almost a child sized vacuum cleaner but there is not really much difference at all. It was so simple to put together, there are peel off stickers on the unit to explain things as you go. It only took me 5 minutes to have it assembled. The ball makes vacuuming effortless, and the head of the vacuum is narrow so its easy to get under the sofa, low tables, etc. It has strong suction as you would expect from a Dyson but it is surprising how full the cylinder is when you have finished. It really gets everything up. This does mean however that you need to empty the dust cylinder quite frequently. The power cable is short and not retractable which can look a bit untidy if it is...

Review of Dyson DC24 BALL ALL Floors

An Excellent Ball And A Sound Investment

Advantages: Durability, Quality
Disadvantages: None

...Looking for a high quality match ball? I think you've found it right here. My Sunday league side bought around 15 of these balls about two years ago, and all 15 are still intact and could be used as a matchball today. This ball is excellent to train with, and using a ball of this quality on a regular basis will improve you as a player. It may not be the most classiest of balls but trust me, this will give you the best experience when your using it. Mitre have been known for creating some very durable balls and with the Ultimatch I feel they have nailed it. It possesses an extremely tough exterior which can handle pretty much everything you throw at it - alot of balls will be rendered useless after a single thorn gets lodged inside of it, but with the Mitre ball this is not the case, as the thorn cannot fully puncture the ball...

Review of Mitre Ultimatch Ball

Mitre Ultimatch

Advantages: Quality, feel
Disadvantages: price

...I recently recieved this ball for my birthday about a year ago and I must say it is pretty much as good now as it was when I first got it. I mean I knew mitre made some quality balls but I had never really owned a quality one like this. I have used this ball on pretty much all surfaces - from astro turf to indoor to normal grass and it seems to fair just as well in all of them. The outer part of the ball is extremely tough and a few misplaced shots into nearby bushes seem to have had no effect. I have even picked thorns out of it but the tough exterior has prevented these having any effect on the ball. It is also pretty low maintenance in terms of how often you actually have to pump it up anyway. The ball is a fairly top of the market one, costing around £40 in most shops now. This is because of the top quality though - it is...

Review of Mitre Ultimax Ball

This ball is what makes football creative!!!!

Advantages: Perfect material(leather)/Good in the air/ Keeps Shape
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Every time we (my friends and I) go to the park and the ball comes out of the bag, we place it in the middle and give it 5 seconds appreciation time. This ball really does bring a tear to the eye (an i dont mean when you get hit in the face, although that does hurt) Its absolutely spectacular it glides across almost any surface perfectly (concrete, grass, bobbly grass). It is also a ball that definitely helps with accuracy, as when you kick it, it actually does go where you want it to (unlike fly away balls that curl even when you throw it). The one thing i cant exactly tell you about this ball is the weight, but i can tell you that it is perect in the air- the ball elevates nice and straight. If there's one thing this ball loves, it has to be stinging the goal keeper. When this ball is hit with accuracy its like an arrow on fire (Fast...

Review of Mitre Ultimax Ball

The Murky Mitre of Manchester

Advantages: Central location
Disadvantages: Rude receptionist

...available were coming cheap. As an arch capitalist who is a firm believer in the supply and demand philosophy I had no real objections to being charged over and above the normal rates though I was still against paying unnecessarily over the odds for just one night. The Britannia, for instance, a three star hotel close to Piccadilly in central Manchester where I had stayed on my previous visit, wanted around £100 for the night. A nice hotel the Britannia may be but cheap it certainly is not. I instructed Expedia to find me an available hotel rated three stars and above without specifying any specifics such as air conditioning and swimming facilities. It came up, amongst others, with the Mitre Hotel. I was intrigued by the description given of this place. It was described as being central, having thirty-two rooms and listing such amenities as...

Review of Mitre Hotel

My sleepless night in the mitre

Advantages: Close to the center of manchester.
Disadvantages: Noisy old building too close to the pubs.

...Ok so for my review of the Mitre Hotel In Manchester. Just got back from my trip in wet and windy Manchester trip was good hotel stay was less that good. But before I tell you all the bad points I'll tell you about the hotel. Location: Cathedral Gates Manchester, M31 SW United Kingdom Based right next to the Manchester Cathedral in the centre of Manchester. 10 meters walk from Harvey Nichols and Selfridges. 800 meters from Piccadilly train station 300 meters from Victoria train station. And 8 miles from Manchester Airport. Building: Lovely old sandstone style building very quaint. Two doors into hotel to reach the pub downstairs where the reception is now located. Then several narrow stairways to reach your rooms. The Room: Two single beds with fresh white linen and firm beds fairly comfy. Dirty net...

Review of Mitre Hotel

For a life that's brighter, hit The Mitre.

Advantages: Friendly, close to the river Cam, good food.
Disadvantages: No air conditioning.

...The Mitre is one of those pubs that is just, well, reliable. As one of the oldest pubs still standing in Cambridge, it has a long history of owners and functions (including a brewery and a pool hall!). But in more recent times, it's just been The Mitre: a typical English pub. So it's no surprise that the locals worried when the place was given a facelift in 2001. There was talk that it had become a supposedly "trendy bar". But it's not. The walls may be lighter, but the dark wood furnishings and grand black fireplace still exist. The staff are still down to earth and the regulars still hang around. Situated on Bridge Road, The Mitre is a short walk from the river Cam and its punt boats. On a sunny day, you can watch the passers-by with the sun shining in through the large front windows, but this can get hot during the warmer months...
