WILSON GST Leather Game Football - Official

I’ve been using the Wilson GST football for several months now, and it has quickly become my favorite. The grip is outstanding, thanks to the patented sewn-on stripes and the Accurate Control Lacing (ACL). These features make a noticeable difference in both throwing and catching, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.The leather is soft yet durable, offering a great feel without being overly slick. Whether you’re practicing drills or playing in a game, this football provides excellent control and consistency.

I've always loved the feel and weight of a true authentic football. I saw Ohio State using these in their bowl games against Alabama and Oregon and had to have one. There's many things I absolutely love about this ball. I'll start with the pros...The feel of an authentic "Game ball" is second to none. While it takes a little bit of time and some elbow grease to shed this ball of its protective layer, nothing feels better. What I like about this football that I've not found on any other ball are the stitched on stripes that have taken the place of the standard painted on stripes. Besides never having to worry about the paint wearing off, these stripes of made of a synthetic tacky material that the ball easy to handle, catch and throw. This is a big football. So for people with smaller hands that have a hard time gripping it thesea come in handy. The graphics on a high end ball are always branded and embossed on the ball instead of stamped. While it's irrelevant to the actual performance of the ball, it justifies the price you pay.The only con I can come up with would be the synthetic lacing system. While it states on the description of the ball that the synthetic laces give the thrower better command of the football, I've noticed it's taken a lot longer to get that slippery feeling off the laces than it did the football itself. This ball needs to be broken in thoroughly through use before a true review can be done, but to get a little piece of the college game at an affordable price, this ball is top of the line! You can't beat it.

Perfect football. Needs to be played with/scuffed up a bit out of the box for the grip to be optimal

Tenia desconfianza en que llegué bien, pero se nota que es auténtico

I purchased 3 of the leather footballs for my son to practice his kicking technique during off season. He said they were great, sturdy, well sewn, and will last him quite awhile. He mentioned needing oil for these types of all leather balls. This is something you might look into for longer wear.

Came with some threads sticking up and the stripe not entirely aligned. Quality is way too low for what it costs.

Grandson loves it. Well made and durable. This was a replacement for an earlier NCAA model he lost in a lake over the holidays.

Prepped properly for a showcase. Used at 2 throwing sessions and 1 showcase and no longer holds air. Of course I ordered ahead of time and now the return window is closed. Literally used 3 times for a total of 6 hours. Unfortunately Wilson is really the only ball used in High School ball. May have been a knockoff that shipped. Writing on sides of ball looked off and stitching was off.
