From our conversations with equipment managers, we learned that ball prepping is tricky and time-consuming at best, and a total mystery at worst. Most players feel they get the best performance out of a ball once it is broken in, but because break-in time varies based on many external factors (like weather, altitude, moisture, etc.), it’s often hard to tell when the leather has reached its peak.

Luckily, at Wilson we know a thing or two about leather. So to help players and EMs know when a ball is battle-ready, the team created a prep gauge on the leather that fades once the ball’s natural tack is optimal. This color-changing technology means a player can know their ball is broken in just from looking at it. By eliminating the guesswork, players can be sure they’re always getting the best possible grip and handling from their ball.
A Wilson football works hard whenever you do and it requires your time and effort to make it last. Our ball preparation kit extends the life of the leather and adds tackiness for better grip so that you get all you can out of your football.
