Overview
The Wilson GST Leather Game Football is a youth-size, brown leather game ball built around Wilson's light leather formula and the composite sewn-on stripes used on the brand's game footballs, aimed at young players moving up from a rubber or composite ball.
Two details set this apart from a practice ball: the sewn-on stripe is a composite material rather than paint, which Wilson says adds grip for a cleaner release, and the Accurate Control Lacing is pebbled rather than smooth for a firmer hold in wet or cold hands. It ships in youth size only, made in either Vietnam or Ada, Ohio depending on the production run.
- Youth-size brown leather game ball
- Light leather formula for softer feel
- Pebbled Accurate Control Lacing
- Composite sewn-on stripe for grip
Who it's for
Youth players and their coaches who want a genuine leather game ball rather than a rubber practice ball, for teams or backyard games that call for a real-leather feel and grip. Not sized for high school or adult play.
Pros and cons
- Genuine leather panel rather than rubber or composite
- Pebbled lacing and composite stripe add throwing grip
- Softer light leather formula suited to a young player's hands
- Youth size only, not usable for adult or high school games
Performance notes
Grip comes from two places on this ball: the pebbled Accurate Control Lacing across the laces and the composite sewn-on stripe running down the panel, both aimed at keeping fingers from sliding during a throw or catch. Wilson's light leather formula is a softer tan than a standard game hide, meant to break in faster than a stiffer full-grain leather.
