Burley V Sherrin

[Military_man]

Just curious just what ball is the better football.. I own both and i find the sherrin a little longer and sharper in shape as for the Burley its a more rounded ball and seems to be better in wet weather.. The AFL prefer Sherrin but the WAFL prefer Burley.. Both around the same price. So who thinks which ball is actually a better ball ?

 

[MiloStedman]

Funny. There's a reason the AFL uses Sherrin

 

[Karnezis_13]

Sherrin by the length of the MCG.

Burleys are s**t.

Chesson.

Where is the Lyrebird option?

 

[MiloStedman]

Who cares if the WAFL uses Burley? the WAFL isn't the AFL

 

[Wetdog]

Do they still make Fawkners? I used to have one as a kid.

They're good footballs too.

Pained me, as a West Australian, to select Sherrin. But I'm cool with using a Burley. Basically all levels of football use the Burley exclusively, so I'd like to think I'm experienced with both. The Burley floats a little more and is slightly rounder, but it's negligible. For the most part, you can barely notice it.

They are slightly different and I'd probably rate them about the same but Burleys are better value for money, last longer are and are a bit cheaper.

One of the most durable footys i have had was a Buffalo

Even though Im a Victorian I quite liked Faulkners, they had much pointier (not as round) ends and the kicks seemed a lot more accurate when you got the right spots. The only downside was if you got a lot of the ball you'd have sore feet at the end of the game

The Chessons were good as well, though a little on the heavy side, have never kicked a Burley though....

 

[Blood Bath]

These ones you get from eastershow showbags are the best

 

[Royalbeagle]

Chesson.

Best ball of them all - Burley second, then sherrin.

They used to use them in the old VFA, nice balls for kicking a torp bit I found them too pointy on the ends, they used to hurt my feet.

I played 2 years using Burleys, didn't like them at all, so it Sherrins for me. I had a Lyrebird footy as a kid and loved it, Kookaburra weren't bad either.

Yes, factory in Thomastown, still Aussie made. Great prices too. Best footys to kick barrels with, they fly

yeah I remember using them in junior footy and just hadn't seen or heard of them for years

 

[eth-dog]

Sherrin's comfortably.

Ross Faulkner's are shocking

 

[Geoff]

Chesson for mine as a kid, lighter and better shape than a Burley.

Yep, Burley a fatter ball, both quality balls but Sherrin for me, get more swing from round the corner kicks with a Sherrin but both are similar with traditional set shots, Burley probably better from set shots within 40 but I feel you get more distance from a Sherrin.
