Know what you're buying,
By AWarren (New York, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilson F1100 Official NFL Game Football (Sports)
This is the official football used by the NFL and you'll be paying for it. If you want an affordable, durable, all-weather football, there are great balls by Spaulding, Nike, even Wilson, in the $20-$40 range.
Now that doesn't mean the Wilson F1100 official football is a rip-off, just realize what you're buying. It's a great ball, with a great feel, that is pretty durable. If you've played basketball with a leather ball, you'll recognize that a leather ball is not as sticky as the high tact, composite-leather balls we're mostly used to playing with. That's not to say it's slippery as a wet fish either, but the slight difference in material is worth noting. A football that costs upwards of $70 is mostly for the fact that you're getting the official ball used by the NFL. If you want the authentic football that you see your favorite players using, then this is the football for you. If you're looking for a good ol' fashioned ball that you won't mind getting scuffed and dirty (as all footballs get, this one included) then there are lots of much cheaper footballs out there that perform just as effectively.

The real deal,

This review is from: Wilson F1100 Official NFL Game Football (Sports)
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.

Great to have the real deal, but composite footballs are more fun to throw,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wilson F1100 Official NFL Game Football (Sports)
When I bought this football, I already had an NFL-sized composite football that I loved to throw around. I liked the idea, though, of having a leather football--just like the ones used in the games--that I could keep for years.
After receiving the ball, I was surprised how slick and hard the ball was compared to the composite ball. I have reasonably large hands, and it is sufficiently more difficult to grip the ball. It is also a little tough on the hands when catching it. I hope it breaks in a little. Nevertheless, I am still glad that I bought the ball. Owning it is almost like owning a piece of sporting history. 2115|R3BT9QD8RK3W1X;2115|R27CEGNO78LQ1P;2115|R3GPVV5LX0ZUMM;
