Title: Great Football
Review: 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.

Title: Great football
Review: This great product comes in a crude form and needs lots of love to break it in, to make it a quality game ready ball. But totally worth it. Check out some YouTube videos on how different folks like to use to break the balls in. All are labor intensive and take time, but are a necessary step toward letting this ball realize its potential.

Title: Terrible Quality Control - This must be a reject football
Review: I'm sure it's a great football performance wise but I wasn't able to throw it even once.Me and some guys on my flag football team pitched in to buy our friend a nice football for his birthday, we wanted to get it rushed delivery so we could throw with it on Sunday. We paid $82.55 (including tax + one day shipping). The white stitched leather on both sides isn't symmetrical by a noticeable amount. Also the football was over pumped. For a football that costs close to three times as much as a normal football (around $30 or so) I expect some sort of quality control to occur. This is completely unacceptable and very disappointing we couldn't give it to him on his birthday to throw around.And yeah I know, some people might think I should just deal with it... but do you really want to give your friend something that looks like crap? What does that say about you?I'm going to return this. I might just go to Dick's next time to verify I'm not getting a reject football.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------EDIT:I returned the football and they sent me one that isn't a reject- it's great. I was throwing tight spirals and it's easy to snag coming at you. Fun football to throw, I'm a fan. I could see that over time the stickiness will start coming off, some other commenters said they use a brush and oil to condition the leather. I might have to try that.

Title: It's a football
Review: Bought this for my son and I to practice throwing and catching. It did not come in a box or any packaging which I thought was strange, but the product is perfectly fine. The leather feels good and has plenty of grip.

Title: Amazing
Review: This is a amazing football. I have owned cheaper composite footballs but this is a night and day difference. This has great grip and feels very durable and well made. The stitching is flawless and the symmetry is perfect. You will be able to throw perfect spirals and the receiver should have no problems catching it because of the grip. Add some receiver gloves and it feels like its super glued to your hand. I was in between this or the duke but I chose this because of the stripes. They add some grip and its a bit easier to see in the air when you play a pickup game at night after work. I highly recommend this ball. If you have never purchased a leather football then you owe it to yourself to try this out. You will end up forgetting about your composites. Never play with this on concrete that's just common sense leave that to your old footballs. I love this ball an I plan on buying another to leave in the trunk of my car so I always have one

Review: Recebi a bola em 5 de setembro de 2023 e, 35 dias depois ela começou a murchar. A Amazon, se negou a trocar ou até mesmo indicar um lugar para consertá-la, pedindo que eu procurasse a Wilson. A Wilson se negou a dar a garantia por ser um produto importado. Neste jogo de empurra-empurra, o prejudicado sou eu, o consumidor que acreditou estar comprando um produto de qualidade, de uma empresa séria. Infelizmente não foi o caso. Lamentável.
