WILSON GST Leather Game Football

the grip on this football is amazing i play football and they gave me leather what i asked for and it was better for what i asked for i prepped it and master piece and they gave me the size i asked for and the size junior is not to big not to little its perfect and it looks like a leather football and the quality is 5 stars by far and it has really good durabilty i definitely recomend this ball

I left my original note below, but as my title said the first ball I received was deformed. Amazon's customer service was easy to exchange it, and the replacement arrived and quality is great. The ball is good and grippy, and shaped correctly this time. The one thing I'd warn people about with the GST series leather balls is that they are pretty hard, however I've always really liked them. Ordered for my flag football team (co-ed league that requires junior balls). First attempt the ball came deformed enough I'd expect it to have some impact when throwing. Really looks like the leather just didn't stitch together quite as neatly as it should of and overlapped in places causing a knot on the seam, and the ends of the ball are also a bit wonky and had a slight underbite (which wouldn't be a big deal alone). Luckily Amazon's customer service is great so I am immediately exchanging since this is a fairly expensive ball, will update based on the next ball I get. On a side note, the leather feels great, and the ball is made of quality material. I look forward to the replacement which will hopefully be normal shaped.

Just like the other reviews false product description. This is not a leather football. In the end spent more money on it then I got out of the product. Returning it cost not only my time but the gas money to take it to the return center. Save yourself the trouble and don’t buy this product

I wanted to get a real good football for my 9 year old. He's rugged, likes to play hard and loves the game. I bought the junior size, and it looks great. The ball is hard. The leather is treated, I suppose, at the factory. But it's hard to grip. The ball is a bit slick. Don't think of the ball like a soft leather baseball glove. It's hard in texture and will be tough to grip. THAT BEING SAID, this is a great ball. Buy the Wilson leather conditioner to treat the ball. I also bought the tack spray, which makes ALL the difference. I treated the ball with conditioner first, let it dry, then hit it with tack spray. Each bottle is another $15. Yep, expensive. But if you're worried about the price only, get a rubber ball. The synthetic balls are easier to care for. Leather is nicer in the long run but does require some care. Think of this like your car seats. Real leather seats are tougher to care for than vinyl seats. You decide what's best for you. If this review is helpful, please hit the button.

I watched the videos. I bought the stuff. I did all the conditioning and brushing and tack. again and again. Finally I broke down and bought the mud and BANG! This football was immediately the best ball we-be thrown, ever. So moral of the story is don’t think you can skip the mud. Get the conditioner, the tack, the brush and the mud and follow Wilson’s step by step guide (or a dozen YouTube videos) and you’ll have one hell of a football in the end.

We absolutely love this ball. We got a real leather one stamped “MADE IN USA.” We spent many many hours of conditioning. This supplies to condition ball for game use cost as much as the ball itself, but it’s well worth it.

Great football, a little expensive for its size, not heavy at all, the kids had fun throwing it around

Not sure if the people commenting on it being fake or synthetic understand that real leather footballs need to be "broken in" and or conditioned before they have a soft leather good grip feel to them... look up how to break in leather football on YouTube and your you'll understand.. it's a great football, but being leather it needs to be taken care of/properly maintained/conditioned. Do some research!!

El balón es de CUERO, he visto que publican que es composite, pero no, está hecho en USA y diferencia de los otros que son hechos en Vietnam, además huele a cuero

Not cheap, but exceeded my expectations. Seems really durable. The leather is soft and grippy. My 9 years old son loves it!

Nice football but print on ball say "Made in Vietnam", not from USA as described. Also ball appears a bit scuff on some of the seems. Whether is genuine leather or not, cannot comment as feels quite firm and not broken in yet

Mandan balón sintético, solo hacen perder el tiempo

El balón es de muy buena calidad pero supongo que se daño en el camino
