Last season the Bundesliga used 9 different balls, but this year, it's just Torfabrik -- or Goal Factory. The ball is 69 centimeters in cirumference and weighs 440 grams. We tested it out...with professionals from first division Hanover goal keeper Florian Fromlowitz and striker Jan Schlaudraff and with Tjalf and Markus from an amateur team in Berlin.
