At first I thought this was a great ball. Great sticky/tacky grip. A NFL replica, good NFL ball size (NFL balls seem smaller than college balls, which I like since I have smaller hands). However, when this ball gets moist, it becomes extremely slick for some reason. It doesn't even have to be raining.. Some QBs just get sweaty/moist hands, and they will complain about my ball being too slippery.
Don't get me wrong, this ball is still nice, much better than your average cheap Walmart football.

But I would strongly suggest this one instead: Wilson F1780 GST. The grip on that ball is amazing. It lasts a long time and doesn't get slippery when moist. Yes, it would appear to be more of a NCAA college (big) size, but it's not as big as some other NCAA balls and throws/catches really really well. My new favorite.

This is the best football I've ever owned. I play football with friends and family, great grip, easy to throw and easier to catch.

I felt like Peyton Manning zipping this ball around!

playing pick up football and having the right ball to pass with and the rotation is all very important. this is a must for football fans.

I purchased this ball on amazon because i wanted a spare to the one i already own the pictures show the duke football and the gold nfl logo like the one i own. When i received the ball it does not have either logo and is not the same as the pictures show. It is actually the cheaper ball that has a slick rubber surface. Dont purchase from target if you want quality and dont go offf the photos!

This ball is fantastic!! it probably doesn't beat the quality of the actual NFL Duke, but this is the next big thing to it. It is a high quality ball, with an amazing grip.

The design itself looks like the official leather Duke, which is a plus.

Feels and looks resistant, and it doesn't feel "squishy". It's solid as it should be.

However, even though it is official size, it feels a little bit smaller for some reason. I have a cheaper, official Size Wilson NFL football (It's the "All Pro" one) and it's noticeably bigger. So I don't know which one is correct in size. Still, it's not really a big drawback.

If you don't want to spend $60+ on the leather Duke, this version is the way to go!

This is an awesome ball - fanatasic build quality and the leather is nice and grippy.

The football shown in the photo is not the football you will receive! I had to return this item, due to the fact that they're advertising an NFL gold shield replica game ball and in actuality you will receive an item that is nowhere near the replica. I was satisfied with the fast delivery as I received my package three days befor it was scheduled to arrive, but extremely disappointed in the false advertisement of this item. This picture needs to be changed to the actual item that is being sold!

I got the ball very promptly, but was slightly disappointed to find when I opened the package that the ball did not look like the actual 'replica' ball pictured on the ad. The picture of the listing has an authentic looking NFL game ball. This is the one you find at most stars that has the gold pro logo on it. It is not a bad ball, but I was just excited to have something that looked like the real deal. Other than that I was satisfied with the purchase, but would reccomend going to a kmart or target and buying the same ball for $20 without paying shipping.

Nothing more need be said exept it is slippery when wet and will not lose the moiosture if thrown or spun, if badly wet it needs to dry
