I love this concept. Very cool video. Interesting fact, the reason the Jabuloni was so unpredictable was because it was 'too round'. You can look up the science behind it, but it basically removed air drag creating insane movement patterns. By making this ball out of all the different panels, it reintroduces the air drag by making the ball not too rounded. But even with that, the ball is still moving like crazy. Just an incredible feat of engineering by the designers of this ball.
Close, but the key detail making the Jabulani unpredictable was that it was subject to the air currents it was passing through because of the low drag. The low drag difficult for players to apply lift (lift just refers to the ability for an object to "grab the air" to change its trajectory) and manipulate its trajectory. You can technically make any ball fly like "knuckle ball" by kicking it dead with little to no "lift" it was just so easy for it to happen with the Jabulani because of its poor qualities to "grab the air."
There are many reasons why the ball won't curve consistantly, but the two big ones are: 1) Low friction on the ball surface - as Con is complaining he can't catch some of the surfaces, if you try to kick them, there will be less grip from your shoe, leading to less spin. So if you hit a grippy part, the ball would spin much more, and curve much more. If you aren't paying close attention to where you hit, you'd see it as random. 2) Curve works when spin pushes air from one side of the ball to the other. It's quite likely in my mind that the inconsistant surfaces push different amounts of air, which creates chaotic pressure profiles around the ball instead of the regular "high pressure on one side/low pressure on the other" that you get from a ball with a consistant surface. If you are really curious, I am sure some of the science-based channels would love to get a look at the ball and actually test what is going on!
Your second point saved me some effort posting 👍 In addition, the different materials, and masses, mean the balls center of mass is not at the center of the ball, that makes spinning it a lot harder as it's trying to rotate around an offset axis. Brilliant ball for a bit of fun!
couple of comment here 1st its a great idea for a video and 2nd I love how a top class Keeper springs naturally to his feet to protect from a rebound shot even though you are not running in to take one . He Is Quality
The panel design isn’t really the issue or what makes the jab fly weird, it’s that it’s so smooth it’s like kicking a balloon rather than a ball, the air basically pushes the ball around. Now the chaos Jab being hand stitched would probably fly better than the og jab but since the panels are different that cause the air do also act weird around it. Interesting video
40 yard passes with that ball must be fun (also the ball can't curve well because each panel is different, thus causing the air around the ball to not curl as well.)
I cant believe some who gets paid to play keeper, would consider stepping in a keepers box that looks like that so casually. Just for the fun of the sport. You know you love the game when...
it is hard to curve because when you hit on the fur for example it is low friction and when you hit it on the demon skin it creates grip between your shoe and the ball which creates curve
Great tool for keeper training, really dial in reaction times and ball awareness. If you can consistently save one of these flying at you a regular ball should be cake!
Btw the different materials are the reason why it is so hard to spin, the HUGE difference in skin roughness make it very unstable and have HUGE differences depending on which faces is on the rotating side or not
Bro the edit is soooo good u can relate that the quality is so good while editing but when you export it’s so bad (not telling the quality is bad but saying it wa better in the app) anyways ur underrated keep up this work ur the best editor I’ve seen
basically, the jabulani is too round. when air resistance tries to act on it, the jabulani experiences what we call "drag crisis", resulting in uncontrollable and unpredictable flight paths. combine this with the chaos jabulani's different materials and the ball is essentially impossible to curve because some of the materials have damn near 0 friction, so no curve can be accomplished, whereas some materials have too much friction and so too much curve is put on the ball and you'll just miss anyway. hope this helps
The ball won’t curve because it has different materials, including bumpy surfaces and uneven surfaces, so it is difficult for the air to push against in a smooth curl
when there's that many different types of material on one ball, there will be no stable air flow pattern around the ball, causing it to have no curl but alot of knuckle
The reason for the unpredictable curve shot is because on some surfaces like the fur your foot will glide rather than grip causing unpredictable curvature results
So the reason the Jabulani moves so crazy isn’t because the texture is off, it’s actually too round which creates an improper air path. If you wanted a ball that moved even more ridiculous see if he can’t move a perfectly round and perfectly smooth ball to see what happens. Or at least as close to it as possible
can't get over this ball 😭 i want it but hate it at the same time

Not as bad as landing on dry dirt 😭
@@NufcAmp yeah you r not going home with 30% of ur skin after that
But the fur 😭
imagine that ball in a game! that would be a crazy game of inconsistent passes and such😂
Kind of like a current United match 🤦🏼♂️

Yo man great video love the content, every time you post a video my day gets so much better. Never stop man your the best❤
Was Looking forward for this video for a long time
Ha ha ha! I love this! Thank you for uploading!
6:14 That prbably hit the car💀💀
Great video from you mate and Con is just unreal in goal isn’t he 👌🏻🧤 gkunion all the way
The Chaos Jabulani...
Hi I’m here so people don’t say first
wow ur comment has 1 reply and some other comments are more
Love Paul’s Balls, glad you could work with him!
sick video you really inspire me thank you for consistently uploading bangers
3:04 the shot was amazing
that's crazy bro a remastered jabulani ball is insane !!!!!!!!!!!
we need a “woah” counter in this video
I would reckon why its hard for it to curve as all of the different textures would create drag slowing down the spin/curve
never been so happy to be late too the party, much better than watching the short on the ball then not finding the kick video
best collab ever i love this dudes ball videos
Love your videos, every video is different in a good way😄
great vid. keep up the good work
The goalkeeper must be given a contract for real Madrid because he is so good man
The average indian plastic football for kids is like chaos jabulani 10x for 10rupees💀😭😂
As soon as i saw jonpaulsballs i knew this was going to be insane, what a guy
Where do you get the jerseys dude
Bro the second shot curve is insane

hey kieran! love ur videos... I've been asking this for a while but can you please try indian football products?
Grew up watching you Kieran, love your videos man
Hi Brayan it ben
„one of the most insane balls i‘ve ever seen“ 💀
it didnt curve well probably because the different materials means air moves differently across each panels
Finally I’ve been waiting every day refreshing the page
Btw the different materials are the reason why it is so hard to spin, the HUGE difference in skin roughness make it very unstable and have HUGE differences depending on which faces is on the rotating side or not
Some dude in Mongolia: _Hey! They copied our ball!_
0:35 "john pokes balls" mate it's not even 1 minute in the video and I heard that
Kerian: they call it the chaos jabulani
Background: ALL BLESS YOUR HEARTTT!!!
This Pro keeper had personal vendetta against this Chaos Jabulani ball.
every video is crafted with care and attention to detail, well done! ️
Jonpauls makes so many great footballs, you definitely need to collaborate more with him and test some of his creations
Always love the vids of kieran
I love jonpaulsballs !!!!!
Adidas needs to bring back the Jabulani, at least for the fans
Seriously this is a top video, would love to see more videos about balls like these

IS ANYONE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE balls.... SITUATION 😅😅😅😅😅
Jon Pauls balls had me dying😂😂😂
Love the vids king keep up the good work my goat

Great video!
Hey kieran! You should edit in a line behind the ball (in some of the shots) to track the movement of the ball. I think it would look sick
"The final boss of footballs."😂😂😂
The goat of football videos
O
when there's that many different types of material on one ball, there will be no stable air flow pattern around the ball, causing it to have no curl but alot of knuckle
A Goalkeeper’s nightmare
6:06 literally when my friends come to watch me moment.
2010 wc: jabulani
2030 wc: chaos jabulani
Where did you get the ball? I really want one
Never give this ball to prime pogma💀
I don’t need a chaos jabulani to never know where the balls gonna go after I kick it 😂
And I thought the Jabulani was bad 😭
This balls is a goalkeeper and a kicker's nightmare at the same time 😂😂
petition to get kieran a ball boy
👇
Great video, as always👍👍
You should definitely try the kicker ball next. It's way more crazy and just curves all the time.
he already reviewed that ball a while back but it would be cool to reintroduce it
Bro designed the ball to defied gravity and ignoring calls from Issac newton and Albert Einstein 200 times
That goal keeper needs a raise he’s covering himself with mud
4:09 the ball can't cur ve because the ball has different types of material which makes it carry air in random places in the ball
2:55 i was screaming: TRIVELAAAA
Bro that gk is so good
Too much drag from some of those panels slows the spin and reduces curve. But that added drag makes knuckling insane.
ROCKSTAR JUST ANNOUNCED GTA 6 TRAILER IN DECEMBER FK YEAHAHHAAHHAJAJA
You’ve heard of kicking it on the valve but no one had heard of kicking it on the demon skin
The reason for the unpredictable curve shot is because on some surfaces like the fur your foot will glide rather than grip causing unpredictable curvature results
A nightmare of a ball. Found this really interesting. Fantastic keeper.
i just love these videos man
8:07 he just pealed out the grass!
Rumor has it.... Conner is a pro Goalkeeper
So the reason the Jabulani moves so crazy isn’t because the texture is off, it’s actually too round which creates an improper air path. If you wanted a ball that moved even more ridiculous see if he can’t move a perfectly round and perfectly smooth ball to see what happens. Or at least as close to it as possible
Know it’s time to bring up a pro combined with the chaos jabulani just to see what we can put Connor through😂
two big clubs should play a friendly match with this ball
