Do you agree?
I mean fresh out of the package lax balls, of course. They're so damn smooth and slippery, nothing better than heaving at the asphault and wall for a few practices before they're any good.
Seriously, a worn ball holds so much better, don't you agree?

All balls are the same, except for blue balls. Those suck but you have to play with them.

I was just thinking the same thing the other day. I was playing wall ball and my friend threw my ball down the street. I didn't feel like walking 2 go get it so I started using my new orange ball. Just the way the new balls bounce I don't like it I ended up walking all the way down the street just to get my old ball. O well.

yeah, I noticed up here, there's a huge difference, you get a CLA warrior, those are awesome, and then get a field lax ball ...BRUTAL!!!!!...... they some to come harder kinda like a puck rather than with bounce like the boxlax balls do, the box balls aren't as slippery.... I can so tell the diference right away, sometimes field balls make their way into scrimmages here and i stop and ask to switch when they do....

all the lax balls are generically the same, ut when color is applied.. aka die... the way the color fuses into the rubber affects the initial use. but after break in, you get your average joe-blo of a ball.. lets all pat ourselves on the back! :agree
there are differences between feild and box lax, its the ball density.

if balls are really old then theyre even more slippery. if u leave em out in the rain a long time n stuff like that they get shiny n slip.

yup, you need to find that happy little medium. new balls right out of the bag, especially colored ones, seem to be slippery. but balls that you use on concrete seem to lose their grip and get really slippery as well. so i just have balls designated for different surfaces to overcome that problem.

New Brine Balls are awesome, nice and grippy. The lose a little bit when they get worn in. STX balls just allaround suck.

oh i like blue balls, they're fun try once in a while when you hate who you're playing with. i just stick with the ordinary yellow ones.

new balls are fine i have a problem with the old ones
after a while they turn really really smooth ad feel weird\
that is mainly after leaving a ball out during winter
i can't stand those balls at all
