Nike Magista Onda football boots

Who doesn't love a good bargain? 

We certainly do and are always on the look out for the best deals.

Our favourite places for getting football boots online are Pro direct soccer and Lifestyle sports as they always have great deals/discounts.

This time we checked out the Clearance section on Lifestyle sports where we found a pair of 

Nike Magista Onda Firm ground football boots for 

Only 25 Euro!!

And they are Adult size too...

Now, personally I (Fiona) have never been a fan of this particular model and the colours always seemed a bit over the top for me, but we decided to buy them and use them to customise and see if we could turn them into something better. After all, Who could say no for €25?

They arrived the following day by courier (Which is another reason for loving Lifestyle sports, they do next day delivery in Ireland which is fantastic)

The first impression of these boots was that they were actually extremely eye catching in person. They never really impressed us much looking at them on a computer screen, however we were pleasantly surprised when we un-boxed these.

So let's take a look at some info on the boot according to the lifestyle sports description
(Now I am not entirely sure it is 100% correct)

ADULT MAGISTA ONDA FIRM GROUND

For the playmaker, the setter upper the one who creates those golden opportunities.
 The Nike Magista Obra firm ground gives a barefoot feel and the ultimate control.

PRODUCT FEATURES

• Mesh layer for a lightweight feel and breathability

• Textured skin for excellent ball control

• Pebax « nylon plate for extra support

• Firm-ground studs for use on short-grass or slightly wet pitches

Being so impressed by the look of these boots and how soft the material felt I decided to actually try them out at training later on that night. 

Originally I planned to just go right ahead and customise them as I didn't buy them because I liked them, But...

When I put the boots on they felt great, they were the perfect fit and extremely comfortable from the get go. 

Usually it takes a while for me to break in new boots and the first couple of training sessions they tend to be painful. However, these fit so perfectly there was no break in time at all.

The touch on the ball was also great due to the design and material the boots are made from. 

The material is strong and the soul plate is flexible making them extremely comfortable to kick the ball and to run in. 

In my opinion, these football boots are ideal for defenders, you can feel comfortable going in for those hard tackles knowing that the boots are strong enough to offer protection while still giving you a great touch on the ball. 

I have been wearing these for a few weeks now and I am still very impressed, even to the point I don't currently want to try out any other boots. 

But hey being a blogger you have to change it up!

QuickPlay Goals & Replay Ball

QuickPlay Sport.

We received two awesome packages from QuickPlay over that past few months. One package was in a huge box nearly taller than Myself & Fiona. It was our 12 x 6ft Match Fold goals! We couldn't wait to get it open and give it a go.

See unboxing video below.

Please subscribe

Setting up the goals took minutes and was very easy. Everything fit perfectly into place and the poles come pre attached so you don't need instructions to set it up from the bag.

We were really impressed. No one likes spending ages setting things up. As you can see by our unboxing video, we had a lot of fun setting it up! We were excited and really enjoyed the whole process, as you can see from the video and pictures below LOL.

After some playing, we found the goals to be super sturdy and strong. A lot of fold up goals on the market are so flimsy and fragile. QuickPlay really set the bar high with these. The net also impressed us. It fit the goals tightly and was secured using strong elasticated ties. The ties are so strong that they can be a little sore on the hands after a few times but other than that, everything was great.

When putting the goals away, you can simply fold them up and store them flat or standing upright in the clubhouse, shed, where ever you want to store them.

KEY FEATURES
Pre attached poles, no need for instruction
Folds flat for storage then sets up in only 30 seconds
Pro Standard durability
All Weather UPVC
No sag cross bar with thickest UPVC at 75mm
Carry bag included

Thank you QuickPlay for sending these out to us!

QuickPlay Replay Ball.

Click below to watch the unboxing video.

                                           

Next up, QuickPlay sent us out this Replay Ball. The Replay ball has an elasticated string attached to a heavy base, which allows you to hit shot after shot and the ball will keep coming back to you.

This is great for practising free kicks, shots and working on your pass.

Especially if you are training alone.  The replay ball is also great for working on your control/pass technique.

We really liked this ball and thought it was an excellent addition to training sessions. We feel that the replay ball would really help youngsters and benefit them for their footballing future.

For us, we mostly enjoyed belting in free kicks and watching the ball come back.

Lets face it, no one wants to keep running behind goal to get the ball after each shot.

Sometimes the Replay Ball gets wrapped around the crossbar and doesn't come back, which is normal if you are not using goals with a net! 

We found that if you are playing with goals without a net, the Replay Ball may get wrapped around the top of the crossbar and sometimes won't come bouncing back. Which is quite normal. Using a goal with a net will stop this from happening, and allow your missed attempt to come right back for a second shot.

One thing we noticed about the ball was it was pretty sore if you kick the area where the ball and elastic meet. You could kick the ball numerous times and feel nothing but then that one time you hit that area, it can be uncomfortable.

Overall, we had a great time testing out the QuickPlay goals and Replay Ball. They have definitely  made life easier for GWG, as it is hard to find a place without goals chained to fences, that allows us to play and practice . Now we just go to a park, set up our own goals and PLAY!

Also, a big shoutout to the guys at QuickPlay for hooking us up.

We really appreciate it and absolutely LOVE your products. Thank you!

If you have any questions that we have not covered, please leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
