Wilson | NFL Duke Replica Football

Wilson Footballs are great. Great quality. Great size for kids. I bought this football for my 9 year old son. He loves it. Perfect size for him. We play catch while waiting for the school bus in the mornings.

1st one disappointment but did buy a 2nd.

This football I'd had delivered to me. When it arrived it was somewhat flat. I pumped it up the next day it was somewhat flat I pumped it up the next day it was someone flat. I was able to bring it to a store get my refund and when I went to purchase another one at that store they were all filled up and at the correct level of air so I purchased another one.

Don't Be Fooled!

It is a very nice junior football made by Wilson, which is a very well known brand of good quality, but a lot of people are fooled by the description of the item saying that it is a 2pack... It is not a two pack, there is only one football in this package. There is a football available for $5.00 if you look through the rest of the selections. It is not Wilson, but looks of good quality to me.

Excellently Priced and Fantastic Quality

Overall a fantastic ball with a more than reasonable price. The laces, though not the most durable, ensure maximum comfort while throwing the ball, as well as gripability in tandem with the excellent ridged leather. The leather will break in after a couple days of use, and the ball will become easier to throw.

Football for the Nephew (Great for Tiny Hands)

So I have established a reputation of being the cool uncle and maintaining that reputation is a top priority of mine. That's why I decided to go with this miniature football. This ball did not disappoint and my reputation as the cool uncle is more solid than ever! After I got this football I immediately started playing inside the house which of course is against my sister's rules but what is she going to do to me? I'm a grown man that has proven myself unresponsible in determining what is appropriate for inside play multiple times so she knows what she's getting every time she invites me over. My nephew loved this little ball. We had a great time playing with this ball until an errant throw sent the ball into a lamp but lucky no damage was done. More good marks for ... MoreSo I have established a reputation of being the cool uncle and maintaining that reputation is a top priority of mine.

For those who love sports & don't care who know it

This is a great sports ball, let alone football. It's jus the right size for my 32 year old hands to feel like I am a much better athlete than I actually am. I can palm it out of mid air, easily. And I can throw it super far. You would be impressed for sure. My son likes it to of course. I recommend this ball to any person that likes sports.

Great football!

I gave this to my grandson for Christmas and he loves it! It is a perfect size (youth) and proportions, well constructed with good feel and touch. I don't know how long the laminated leather will hold up but the materials and construction make me think it will be a durable ball.

Great in dry conditions....

As something new I decided to learn how to throw a spiral pass and I chose this ball to start with. It's been great for me to learn the correct grip, hand placement and slowly but surely my spiral throws are getting better. (tip: focus on technique rather than distance, as the distance will come with practice).The only thing I don't like about this is that it is no good in even slightly damp conditions. I've tried to condition it but it hasn't improved the damp grip.Now I've learnt to throw for accuracy and distance (not yet both at the same time!!) I will move onto a new ball. "The Duke" is appealing based on others experience with it's improved grip and it's availability here in Australia.

Pay more for the traditional colour. But still gr8

It’s really good, but the black ball is harder to judge in the air because you can’t see any texture as it’s flying towards you. So catching is a bit more guesswork.If I knew that, I would have paid more for the traditional pigskin model. But that’s ok. This ball is still really well constructed and feels and looks great.

Save your money and get a ball that you can actually grip

This is actually not a bad ball, but I didn't feel like the "grip" rating on the box matched the grip that the ball had in comparison to other Wilson balls that are a little bit more expensive, so I returned it.With a lot of footballs, for some reason, they have some sort of surface protectant added to it and you need to wash it off, or prep it, prior to playing with it. So that's what I did. It helped a little bit but not a lot. Unless I actually sprayed some tack spray on it, I couldn't grip it the same way that it's supposed to be gripped, therefore, there's no way you can actually throw the ball correctly.If you spend a little bit more money, you could get a much better grip. Or you can spend a lot more money and get the best grip.
