I've noticed that most of the higher end "nice" soccer balls are 27 inches. is this the prefered size? most adidas tangos are 28 inches. are any of the high end balls 28 inches?

Never heard anything about this really. Balls are usually in size 4,5 for example

size 5 balls by USSF standards have to be 27 to 28 inches around and between 14 and 16 ounces. I was just wondering if there is a standard anywhere, or if one is preferred, or even if one is better. just curious is all.

you cant see and feel the diff between 27 and 28 inches so it doesnt matter which one you choose

btw i think that the high-end balls are somethin like 27.5 inches
