Best For Practice: Wilson Soft Grip Football

The wilson soft grip football should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. There is a "micro" football and a full-sized ball in a couple of the shots for size comparison.

It's hard in texture and will be tough to grip. The synthetic balls are easier to care for. The ball is the perfect size for kids and is recommended for.

The feel and ability to spin the ball is just about perfect. The ball is good and grippy, and shaped correctly this time.
