soccer am did a thing on the difference between all of the balls used in the english game...
can't remember how many panels but i know they are glued together now and not stitched - apparently this is because gluing ensures the balls are rounder! back to pigs bladder that's what i say!! |

it changes every season, must make a difference to the flight and spin, surely. |

but do you think the no. of panels make any difference. this is especially interesting from a gk point of view. |

I don't knowif it's the panels that make the difference, but the balls today are lighter and spin less (and hence, swerve irregularly more). |

less weight=more swerve? |

The rough surfaces break down the laminar boundary layer flow on the surface of the ball and will actually make it go further. Hence why a Golf ball has dimples in it, to make it travel further. (Geek hat off ) |

I say potential, because with a football, the main factor in imparting spin is the tackiness of the ball's surface. The more friction between foot and ball, the more spin imparted. A slick, muddy ball is difficult to bend, because the foot will slide across the surface of the ball, rahter than 'grab' it. EI, is this correct? |

it would be interesting, though, to have some subjective data on how the ball behaves irrespective of that external influence |
