Wilson GST NCAA Leather Game Football Official Size GST is the softest leather football on the market, with a unique feel and distinct light brown color. The ball is also easier to control thanks to a high level of tack. Patented sewn-on stripes are composite material instead of paint, and provide 82% more grip to aid release for more accurate throws. Patented Accurate Control Lacing (ACL), which is pebbled instead of smooth, provides 174% more grip in all conditions. The same skilled hands that sew every NFL leather football also make every leather GST. This exceptional craftsmanship results in unmatched quality control. Handmade in the USA by craftsmen and women in Ada, OH Approved for play by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS)
