Customer Reviews

a great football
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.

Good grip... unless moist/wet
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.

A great item, probably the next big thing after the Official one itself
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!
