On 25 -1-2010 I wrote an article on my blog:
"New design for the korfball ball"
During the last days this article got many visitors.
My article and proposal for a new ball has nothing to do with the new ball wich will be used at the EC 2010 in the Netherlands. This new ball has been developed by MIKASA in cooperation with IKF.
The Dutch team and all the other participating National Teams of EC 2010 will get about 10 new balls in the end of September, so that they can get accustomed to this ball, during their 6 weeks preparation period.
Personally I saw and felt a sample of this new ball only one time.
The colours of the ball did not make me happy: Blue and Yellow. I think it looks like the modern volleyball. The material of the outside of the ball is very different from the korfball and basketball and I think it felt rather strange. Maybe the players, the audience and TV spectators like these changes. We will see..
The korfball players in England got aware of the introduction of a new Korfball. They started a discussion on their website, which I think is worth mentioning: www.korfball.com/forums/default.asp

Hello Ben, with your own korfball being rejected by the IKF your view on this new Mikasa ball must be clouded. Mikasa is the biggest and best Korfball manufacturer in the world and I'm sure this new ball will be a huge succes in every korfball nation all over the world.
