Wilson GST TDY Football

The TDY model is specifically sized for youth players aged 12 to 14. If your player is younger or older, you may need to look at the Pee Wee, Junior, or official collegiate sizes.

Sewn-in stripes are physically integrated into the leather construction, providing a raised texture that offers a more consistent grip point for your fingers compared to smooth, painted-on stripes.

The patented ACL (Accurate Control Lacing) system uses a pebbled composite leather material rather than standard rubber or smooth leather. This texture provides significantly more friction, helping players maintain a secure grip even in damp or sweaty conditions.
