I have Soft Ground Pro and my left  plant foot just slid right along the ball... WTF? There were 2 long parallel lines left on the ground.(caused by the two back studs dragging along) I had 13 on the back 11 on the front. The sole plate probably has too much earth... Some parts of the field are super soft ans some are quite firm...

The nylon safety studs are longer. They seem to stick to the ground and not release as easily as the aluminium ones. (It sticks to the ground too much I think---slight difficulty in releasing.)
I have yet to try the 13+15 mm combination.

Stud pressure... I didn't feel any, although your foot gets tired after striking too many times or running a lot.

I did something silly with the Sondico studs and am now stuck with the studs on the right boot :|
 I don't have the stud spanner.

The SG studs do not have much stud pressure anyway.
The silly studs have groves which prevent removal, unless torque is applied.(can't with bare hands)
I really need a Sondico stud spanner. Why must Sondico make studs with different groves?


Again, that silly Soccer Scene sent me a faulty ball. Damnnnnnn I knew this would happen.
Ok... don't buy footballs online.

Oh cool, the times listed here are earlier than yesterday. Too bad I can only collect the parcel at 4PM.
This is excellent service. Out for delivery at 6:53 WOW...
Hmmm... I think it is going to be delivered soon.

 The Soccer Scene delivery was quite impressive. I ordered before 2pm the previous day and the parcel was delivered by 10:22AM the next day... and it is just normal delivery. Hmmm... 03:34 is an unusual time to be processing parcels.
Unfortunately, they did not include the most anticipated item: boots :| 
Then later today, I saw this ! Another parcel  that is going to be delivered.  Hats off to the people involved in the delivery and working at 3AM.

Can't wait for it to arrive at the depot, then in transit, followed by: Out for delivery and finally: Delivered!

PJ

Nice cars on the road today

We went too PJ to have dinner. 
On the way: 
There was a Ferrari at the traffic light. The back looked like a 599.
Then, an orange Audi R8. Looks boss. Too bad it wasn't going fast. 
The white BMW X6 that I saw was quite fast. I can see the 'under carriage'. 
 ' I think BMW lost the plot with the X6' I agree.
There was a Mazda RX-8.(Why would anyone own that?)

After dinner:
We went round and round, searching for Popiah. It was quite late and tried the Penang Nasi Kandar SS 2. Nope... closed. 
There was a Bentley Continental GT (KCA 2)  That grey is not bad at night. It looks out of place though.
The letter B.

The ride in the C-coupe was quite good actually. Decent acceleration.

On the way back, there was a silver Maserati GT. Some traffic at Tun Razak and we were right behind.
Not a lot of noise because it was stuck in traffic.


Some comments:
The Maserati 222E was not a very nice car to drive.
The Ferrari 308 was better.




I would really like to see the MP4-12 C.

Vapor 8 problems?

I've read a lot about the Vapor 8s. Durability seems to be the major issue.


Very sad state-broken stud
The stud seems to be broken off where the hole is. The twin back studs seem to have problems supporting weight. (So many people have complained about the back studs breaking) 
Of course, it didn't break where it was reinforced with the 'rib'. It broke off where the material became thinner (as a result of the hole in the stud)
Ooooo... That's pretty bad.

Is that picture even real? OMG look at how worn out the studs are. 














The Mercurial vapor 8 line is a 'performance tire/tyre'. They go a good job on the pitch but durability is low. You have to keep changing them. :|  *Some sort of designer football boots that don't really last.



On the other hand:  

Look at what I've found:





OK, this person 'Nate Robinson' has the Mango version-'suede finish' 
Seriously 4 months? Sounds good. (I saw some people saying they had rips after 1 day -.-)
It's funny: I live next to the woods.

This feedback is extremely positive. 'no ripping or durability issues at all'

Ohhh... 

I saw the new CTR 360 Maestri IIIs at Nike KLCC. They have the FG AND SG versions.



I also saw the Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly III in the Red Plum/Volt colourway. MYR 690. Good price.
Size: US 10 1/2, UK 9 1/2. Very cool colour. 'MADE IN ITALY' ---That's my favourite part.
+Sense stud
+Flywire
+Carbon fiber


The Superflys seem to be really high tech and expensive. But now, since the release of the Vapor 8s, the price has dropped. The cheapest is £100 for UK 10 Red Plum. If colour is not an issue, then £115 will get you the one in granite (many sizes). I don't know why the ones in purple are so expensive. (£194.99)
All the crappy sizes.

Nike Mercurial vapor VIII

I was just browsing through the replica Vapor VIII boots on Facebook.
Let me think of the Pros and Cons:


Pros:
  • Cheaper
  • Same / better durability  (so many people complain about the rips they are getting from their boots)  I think the replicas are better, ironically.
  • More choice of colourways-(having a 'custom Nike ID look' )
  • Less 'heartache' when the boots are broken/have rips/beyond repair.

Cons:
  • It's 'fake'. 
  • People might tell they're fake.
  • Psychological effect (You know their replicas)
  • Might not have the Tepex glass fiber sole plate. 
  • Material might be different
  • Comfort / safety might be compromised. (I doubt it really. Customers say that the replicas are also comfortable)
  • Heavier(Exact  words by the seller: Weight difference. By a few grams. Hmmm... I'm not sure what he meant by 'few grams' 5g? 50g? 100g?)
