Overview
Brushing and conditioning this Wilson GST during break-in shapes its grip and softness to the player's own preference. Horween leather with defined pebbling, sewn composite stripes and pebbled lacing all add grip for cleaner releases.
Real game-ball materials and US craftsmanship make it a ball that rewards a proper break-in. That prep takes time and care, which casual players may not want to give.
Who it's for
Made for competitive players from youth leagues to high school who practice throwing seriously. Casual players who leave balls outside should choose a composite ball.

Performance notes
Grip comes from texture: pebbled leather, pebbled laces and sewn stripes give fingers more surface to hold on release. Brushing and conditioning soften the leather over time, which is why the feel improves with prep.
