Now, you might think, and hopefully Adidas isn't listening over here or else they're going to sue me. So you might think that Adidas had this fantastic breakthrough ball and this is the best soccer ball ever developed. And I'm going to tell you, no, it's not because there's a trade-off that occurs and that trade-off occurs in kicking distance. Because the Trianda has a rougher surface area, it triggers a turbulent wake earlier and it generates slightly higher overall dry coefficient when struck at maximum velocity. So trajectory simulations with this actually indicate that hard-hit non-spinning clearances, they actually face increased high speed air resistance. And what that basically means is that you have the potential where the ball will drop out of the air 5 to 10 meters or about 5 to 10 yards sooner than with previous World Cup balls. Now, to compensate a maximize kicking distance,
