The Wilson 1003R GST is designed with a host of features to provide you with the best all-purpose football available. The new, improved 899 WE leather with tanned-in tack and deep pebble design combined with the 1005 small pattern and deep channels provide great grip-ability. Wilson's advanced Accurate Control Lacing System (ACL) replaces traditional laces with thick, pebbled composite leather laces, providing a softer, more grippable feel which translates to better control. The composite grip stripes ensure that no matter where you grip the ball--even if it's on the stripes--you'll always have control.
Engineered to perform at the highest level, it's the official game ball of such colleges as the University of Tennessee, North Carolina State, Duke, Northwestern and many more. It features the following exclusive Wilson features:
- Patented ACL (Accurate Control Lacing) laces are made of pebbled composite leather, providing 174 percent more grip than traditional laces.
- Composite laid-in leather stripe is 82 percent more grippy than traditional painted stripes.
- Multi-layered neoprene inner lining for better shape and durability.
- 3-ply bladder for better air retention and moisture control.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The only con I can come up with would be the synthetic lacing system. While it states on the description of the ball that the synthetic laces give the thrower better command of the football, I've noticed it's taken a lot longer to get that slippery feeling off the laces than it did the football itself. This ball needs to be broken in thoroughly through use before a true review can be done, but to get a little piece of the college game at an affordable price, this ball is top of the line! You can't beat it.
Me and some guys on my flag football team pitched in to buy our friend a nice football for his birthday, we wanted to get it rushed delivery so we could throw with it on Sunday. We paid $82.55 (including tax + one day shipping). The white stitched leather on both sides isn't symmetrical by a noticeable amount. Also the football was over pumped. For a football that costs close to three times as much as a normal football (around $30 or so) I expect some sort of quality control to occur. This is completely unacceptable and very disappointing we couldn't give it to him on his birthday to throw around.
And yeah I know, some people might think I should just deal with it... but do you really want to give your friend something that looks like crap? What does that say about you?
I'm going to return this. I might just go to Dick's next time to verify I'm not getting a reject football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
I returned the football and they sent me one that isn't a reject- it's great. I was throwing tight spirals and it's easy to snag coming at you. Fun football to throw, I'm a fan. I could see that over time the stickiness will start coming off, some other commenters said they use a brush and oil to condition the leather. I might have to try that.
