Wilson GST Football

This model is designed primarily as a practice ball or for recreational use. While it mimics the feel of professional-grade equipment, it is constructed from composite leather rather than the full-grain leather used in official game balls.

The composite leather construction is significantly more water-resistant than traditional leather. It is an excellent choice for practice sessions in damp or inclement weather because it maintains its grip and weight better than a standard leather ball.

The patented ACL (Accurate Control Lacing) system features a pebbled texture on the laces themselves. This provides extra grip and tactile feedback, making it easier to control the ball during throws and catches compared to smooth, traditional laces.

Yes, this is a full-size (Size 9) football, which is the standard regulation size used for high school, collegiate, and professional play. It is intended for athletes aged 14 and older.

Unlike full-grain leather footballs that require extensive conditioning and breaking in to reach their optimal feel, this composite ball is ready to use right out of the box. It will maintain its shape and grip consistency from the first practice.
