Kick off! Special Report - The new standard Bundesliga ball - Torfabrik # 20.08.2010 # Bundesliga Kick Off! Countdown

Constanze TressAugust 20, 2010

#For the first time, games in the Bundesliga will be played with a standardized ball -- Adidas' "Torfabrik", or "Goal Factory". The new ball hasn't proved very popular so far, though. Goalkeepers complain that its often irregular flight path is too hard to stop. Kick Off! Countdown puts the ball to the test with pros from Hannover 96 and a local amateur team in Berlin.
