 Green Bay Packers MLB Tree Top Santa Figurine NFL Football Fan Shop Sports Team Merchandise $60.00 0.00  Reebok Men's NFL Slipper,49ers,Large $24.95 I wanted some slippers I could get in and out of without having to bend over and use my hands. These are great and comfortable.  Wilson F1100 Official NFL Game Football $109.99 This is the best football. Period. Yes, it can be more slippery than a composite. But, look at it this way, if you can learn to thrown and catch with these, you are going to be better overall. My son is a QB who has played youth, HS, and semi-pro and we go outside and play catch regularly and have literally worked with hundred of footballs. This is our favorite. It is the right size, and it just has such a great feel and perfect flight trajectory. You CAN definitely tell the difference. Also, both my son and I have just normal sized hands and we have no problem throwing. Anyone who has trouble throwing and believes it is hand size related just needs to put in more time on the throwing. Heck my son used to throw full NFL size balls when he was 10 with no problem. Technique is a huge part of it. When I bought this last (we buy 1 to 2 a year because we use and abuse the balls) I bought this one and the best quality composite because we wanted to compare them directly. There is no comparison. This one rocks and we NEVER use the composite when we play catch. We saw a little bit of the coloring come off on our hands in the beginning, but nothing significant. There is one review on here that would make you believe these things bleed color... that is just not the case. We originally bought the two balls thinking we would use The Duke in good weather and the composite in crappy weather... but really, we just use the Duke all the time. Ours is now about 8 months old and it is extra slippery from all the use, so I am on here about to order another one. These balls make playing catch a pleasure and if you can get over the price (which is not all that bad here really) you will not regret going with this ball. From the moment you unpack this ball, you know you are playing with the best equipment available. Love it. |
