Product placement
Does anyone else consider the product placement in the first paragraph unnecessary?Marbini (talk) 02:08, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Agree. Not neccessary, although the description about it being easier to do with modern, lighter balls should remain.


 * The product placement seems really unneccesary. I have a Puma ball that curves much more than any Addidas or Brine ball I've ever used.  The reason being it is lighter, has less panels (and they are not pentagons/hexagons), and it has dimples all over the surface.  I suspect these are characteristics that provide increased spin on the ball, and that the specific Addidas product deserves no special mention.  But I'm not going to remove it, because this article could use all the links it can get.167.7.17.3 (talk) 18:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Bernoulli principle
On another point, is this an example of the Bernoulli principle? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_effect#Real_world_application —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.99.52 (talk) 16:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Anytime you have an object experiencing drag (ie moving in a fluid, including air) you get into Bernoulli's principles involving velocity and pressure gradients, or so I was led to believe.167.7.17.3 (talk) 18:03, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Beckenbauer?
Nah. He wasn´t notable for curls. In germany, it was Manfred Kaltz, who often aimed on Horst Hrubeschs head. 176.0.91.200 (talk) 16:09, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Russians?
The Russian version of this page lists some players absent in the list here with the claim they were "one of the first" to curl. So, the list of players here needs a clarification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.217.198.227 (talk) 22:51, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
