| Nike reveals latest technologically-advanced ball for new football league season Posted: 02 Jul 2013 07:43 AM PDT  Just as many football pros start pre-season training, Nike has unveiled the new ball that they'll be kicking around. This season, England's Premier League, Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A, and the Brazilian league will all be playing with the new Nike Incyte Ball (pic), which the company claims is the most technologically advanced ball ever made for the world's most popular sport.. The ball is made up of five layers, which Nike says will aid in that all-important first touch, allowing an athlete to bring the ball under control quickly and easily. The freshly dubbed Nike RaDaR (Rapid Decision and Response) technology maximizes the ball's visibility, so players can spot the ball faster and therefore react to it more quickly, the company claims. Plus the high-elasticity layer on the surface supposedly allows for a cleaner strike, while the "micro-textured casing" delivers a more accurate ball trajectory, Nike says. Players begin kicking around the Nike Incyte ball in matches yesterday. The ball is available for purchase in Nike shops and online at nike.com priced at €130 (RM537). Adidas recently unveiled its miCoach Smart Ball, a soccer ball that can measure the speed, spin, and trajectory of each strike while feeding that data to an iOS device via Bluetooth in real-time. Featuring built-in sensors that track the ball's movement, the Smart Ball will launch sometime next year. - AFP/Relaxnews, July 2, 2013. |
