Amazon.com Product Description
Grab onto a piece of history with Wilson's official NFL game ball--The Duke--which is dedicated to football legend Wellington "Duke" Mara. More than just a piece of memorabilia, The Duke is designed with the serious competitor in mind, with genuine hand-sewn, Tanned in Tack leather for superior playability and grip, and 3-ply VPU bladder for maximum durability and air retention. Other features include double lacing, the official NFL seal in gold, and Commissioner Roger Goodell signature stamp. 
The return of The Duke. | Wellington "The Duke" Mara passed away in October, 2005 at the age of 89 after dedicating 81 years to the New York Giants as an administrator, owner, and unwavering booster. In 1940, heeding the advice of influential team owners Tim Mara of the New York Giants and George Halas of the Chicago Bears, the NFL selected Wilson as the league's official football supplier. The following year, Wilson introduced a redesigned football and named it "The Duke" in honor of Mara's son, Wellington. The Duke stayed in play for nearly three decades until the NFL and AFL merged in 1969. About Wilson

 Great Football July 18, 2007

I bought this football about 6 months ago, and it has held up pretty good. I agree, you must have medium-large hands to throw this. It is easy to catch, and you will not drop as many passes. It is somewhate hard to run with though. It holds up very nice, it has no real signs of wear. I recommend it. It takes a while to get used to, but what you do it will be worth it. If you throw right, it will launch a perfect spiral. You can usually hit at least 35 yards, and more if you are stronger. It stays pumped well, and is easy to put air into. However, it is next to impossible to throw if the ball is wet or your hands are sweaty {I was playing a game where it started to rain, I could barely throw it}
Still a good buy.

This is the best football. Period. Yes, it can be more slippery than a composite. But, look at it this way, if you can learn to thrown and catch with these, you are going to be better overall. My son is a QB who has played youth, HS, and semi-pro and we go outside and play catch regularly and have literally worked with hundred of footballs. This is our favorite. It is the right size, and it just has such a great feel and perfect flight trajectory. You CAN definitely tell the difference. Also, both my son and I have just normal sized hands and we have no problem throwing. Anyone who has trouble throwing and believes it is hand size related just needs to put in more time on the throwing. Heck my son used to throw full NFL size balls when he was 10 with no problem. Technique is a huge part of it. When I bought this last (we buy 1 to 2 a year because we use and abuse the balls) I bought this one and the best quality composite because we wanted to compare them directly. There is no comparison. This one rocks and we NEVER use the composite when we play catch. We saw a little bit of the coloring come off on our hands in the beginning, but nothing significant. There is one review on here that would make you believe these things bleed color... that is just not the case. We originally bought the two balls thinking we would use The Duke in good weather and the composite in crappy weather... but really, we just use the Duke all the time. Ours is now about 8 months old and it is extra slippery from all the use, so I am on here about to order another one. These balls make playing catch a pleasure and if you can get over the price (which is not all that bad here really) you will not regret going with this ball. From the moment you unpack this ball, you know you are playing with the best equipment available. Love it.

Beautiful ball! As a lot of reviews mention, the ball is very "hard". It's hard to imagine pros catching these balls when they're fired out of Favre's or Cutler's cannon. I would recommend buying receivers gloves if you use this ball more than casually. Easy to grip and fun to throw. Not recommended for children for the obvious size of the ball and the chance of them ruining it on the pavement...
THE REAL DEAL!!! NFL FOOTBALL!! January 16, 2007
