Arsenal Football Club and PUMA launch Left-Footed evoPOWER Football

Apr 1st, 2015 by 'holic

Arsenal Football Club and official Club partner PUMA have unveiled a world first; the Left-Footed evoPOWER Football. Designed exclusively for Arsenal, the Left-Footed evoPOWER Football was created to increase the accuracy, power and precision of a left-footed player.

In a game currently dominated by right-footed players and right-footed equipment, the Club felt it was crucial to develop kit specifically for their numerous left or two-footed players. Arsenal approached PUMA to see if they might be able to help and in their first season with the Club, PUMA have done just that.

Santi Cazorla, Mesut Özil, Nacho Monreal and Hector Bellerin, were the first players to test the new football and the results were incredible. After trying the ball for the first time, two-footed player Santi Cazorla had just one thing to say: “It’s unbelievable!” Right-footed player, Hector Bellerin, said: “It’s a bit tricky to use on your right-foot but it instantly improved my left-foot.”

Further player reactions and exclusive training footage with the new ball can be watched here:

Speaking about the launch, Keith Woods, PUMA’s Senior Product Line Manager for Teamsport Accessories, said: “This football will not only improve the overall game of left and two footed players, it is also the perfect training aid for the right-footed player’s weaker left-foot. A left-footed player finally has the benefits that a right-footed player has always had with footballs to date.”

The new Left-Footed evoPOWER Football will be available exclusively at Arsenal’s official online store, Arsenaldirect.com soon…

    Nice one Holic.

    Amazing – technology today eh!
    We best sign only left footed players in future.
    Happy AFD!

    But do they do left handed shorts?

    “This football will not only improve the overall game of left and two footed players…

    If we could only find a player with two left feet, we’d be laughing. But we sold Bendtner 🙁

    The left handed ball pump sounds like a technique for the single man, if you get my drift.

    Don’t thank me Noosa. This press release was all Arsenal’s work. 🙂

    On a serious note I see we are to install new floodlights at the Grove this year. Can’t say I noticed much wrong with the old ones but what do I know?

    ttg: my guess is that there is a rather significant operating cost for the current set of floodlights and given that they are now approaching ten years of age they probably need replacing pretty soon in any case. LED lights are far more energy efficient, and once installed also require much less maintenance as I understand it.
