The new Wilson GST Prime Football review. Be sure to Like and Sub to the channel!!! WIlson GST Prime - www.wilson.com... Wilson Prep Kit - a.co/d/4FoSl39
Keep it up man I’ve never seen anyone break down what makes a GST great as much as you do! Especially breaking in a football.. keep up the great work! Next video should be a composite GST just to show similarities to the 1003,prime and the Baden The White Football!
Also it’s good to add leather softener , and letting that soak in to the ball to preserve the leather more during game use and then add the tack as shown in the video. Great video by the way!
Literally the exact same but with a Duke hahaha. All the NFL equipment staff have their own way to do it which is better but a lot harder. You can use this guys method for any leather ball
What I do is give the ball a shaving cream bath leaving the shaving cream to soak in for about 15 minutes I do that to remove the wax coating in red dye because the products I use after I want to be able to soak into the leather then I'll wipe the shaving creamoff with a damp rag I don't scrub aggressively pretty much just pat the shaving cream away and while the ball is still damp I take palmer's cocoa butter hand lotion that works just as good as any other leather conditioner and i massage that into the leather with my hands then after that soaks in take murray's beeswax and massage that into the leather then once that soaps in I take a bar of beeswax it's literally the same as a wilson tack bar and run it across each panel of a couple of times. The finished product is soft plush grippy leather and what I personally like is the ball don't turn black like a lump of coal
For those who have a Official duke football or GST Official football please only use the tack bar one time on one panel real Lightly if you Continue on putting the tack bar on your football each day you mind as well throw it away the grip will be gone Completely and the ball will be real Slippery how do I know because I did it to my official duke football.... my advice? take those steps in his video so please stay away from football Conditioner and Wilson Tack Spray, White it will mess up your ball 🏈 trust me
Okay well I’m just speaking the truth your just lying to these people because you just a cheap skate and think it’s not worth the money you probably can’t afford it anyway
Kathleen Podolsky not sure about the conditioning part because I condition my ball every 5 months but the tack part he’s right you shouldn’t use tack everyday or else it’s going to mess the ball up performance wise
you can get one from Walmart for 5 bucks and the tack bar you don't really need it. just warm/hot water and a lot of brushing will do the job. takes 2 or 3 days longer but it'll work.
I’m scared I might have ruined mine, I wasn’t thinking and I used dish soap 🤦🏼♂️ some of the dimples came off, what can I do to fix it? It’s still has an ashy look and I can’t get it dark
you cant get the dimples back but i would wet the ball and dry it about 3 or 4 times to get the soap out then i would follow the steps in this video that should help
Same. The duke has a better spin but the gst is soooo much easier and quicker to break in. In my opinion the duke leather is the top notch but man does it take a long time.
Its not a leather ball so no you can not. Don't use the tac bar none of that in the fake leather balls. Its not for it. The you play with the composite balls the better they get
Buddy, first of all, you’ve made a great video! I would like to ask that should I apply the Wilson football conditioner if I have one? which step should I put it on? Thanks!
Davidson WONG hey bud thanks for the comments. I stay away from conditioner and just use water and the tack bar and brush. But it would be after the first run down with water and scrub. Hope this helps thanks
That's a $120 football. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who buys this ball to just invest an extra $50 on the complete ball conditioning kit from Wilson! You don't wanna ruin a $120 ball using "homemade" recommendations!
@@reliablethreat23 Actually, in my honest opinion, it's hard to mess it up with homemade methods. I consistently break in footballs with just a towel and shoe polish and a tub of warm water. But that's just me and it is intense work.
@@xshima5001 I guess to each his own. But I'm definitely not going to risk damaging a $120 ball! I'd rather play it safe and follow the experts recommendations!
It’s not 50$ it’s 70$ and that’s way to expensive. His ball seems to be pretty well broken in and I’ve seen many balls broken in similar ways to his and they’ve seemed to work just fine.
I have a K2 Pee Wee leather ball for my son (not composite). I prepped the ball and had it looking fantastic with tack. I live in the southwest and the fields sometimes have dirt patches. What I noticed is when the ball hit the dirt which is loose dirt), it lost its tackiness quickly. Steps used to prep: Wiped it down 3x, brushed, used a small amount of leather conditioner as recommended by Wilson, used the Wilson tack bar, and even tried applying the tack spray by Wilson as an experiment. Any thoughts based on your experience? I have resorted to the White Ball because it holds tack.
Continue to apply tack and brush? There was another gentleman on here that says that’s the way till it’s broken in. It may take several times until it’s sufficiently set.
I've used the conditioning kit from Wilson on all my leather footballs and I highly recommend it! I also bought the tack spray that comes separate from the kit and it makes your football feel so much better! It comes out to be around $50 but it's completely worth it!
This is great vid he jus brushes if you want that dark ball you gotta mud it or your going to be brushing for a week straight. Plus more benefits to using shaving cream then leather conditioner then the mudd
Do you put the tack bar just once or you can actually put multiple times during the season? Is it a one thing only? I have my Duke and how time goes by, it loses its grip...
Heyy great video!! I was hoping you can answer a few questions, so I got my Wilson GST 1003 Football on Sep.11,2019 and I've noticed how it has gotten darker but I just recently got the Wilson Prep Kit and the Wilson Tack Spray & Conditioner can I still do this process you show in the video maybe take it down a notch? You know since the football isn't Brand New Thank you
I'm also getting a new Football From Wilson can you give me a format of how to use these products with my football, I'm sure it'll be like this process in the video but when the two other products as needed the Tack Spray and Conditioner
Jose Sebastian Cuevas You use a small amount of conditioner and rub it in the leather after you’ve scrubbed the ball. Then you apply the tack like he showed in the video and then you can spray lightly over the ball with a mist of tack spray
Jose Sebastian Cuevas the footballs still get warn down I have the same ball w prep kit but it will get darker and smoother but the prep kit should give it more grip.
This is prob the worst video I’ve ever seen on this lol.. they don’t ship with wax.. it’s a preservative for the leather.. mostly dye and it takes hot water and not damp needs to be wet but not dripping wet.. takes about 1hr of scrubbing and about 20 wash cloth size rags to get all the extra dye and preservative off the ball.. shaving cream half way through will speed up the process.. You should tack bar the white.. Wilson openly says it works on composite balls too.. the white is composite.. don’t brush it or condition it but you should tack it up and it will be even stickier.. In fact a $35 composite ball cleaned with water and rag then apply a tack bar and it’s too sticky to even wear gloves 😂😂.. only issue with composite is it doesn’t have much durability..
You're just as wrong as he is. You should never wet the ball or rub of the tack it comes with. It's not a preservative dye. It's Wilson's proprietary tack and you should brush it into the ball before you apply any leather conditioner to it.
Have you learned you do not bring the ball closer to the camera yet??? You are distorting the very thing you are trying to show - this video is nasty!!!
Finally a video on how to break in a football the right way thank you so much
thanks
Keep it up man I’ve never seen anyone break down what makes a GST great as much as you do! Especially breaking in a football.. keep up the great work! Next video should be a composite GST just to show similarities to the 1003,prime and the Baden The White Football!
I like how he casually said, “we’re gonna let this bitch rest”
Fr😂
Finally someone who does this! Thank God I found you
Sub and like instantly
Thank you!!
Loved the video!! You made the steps so easy to follow and now i understand why you brush it and you add tack to it!👍🏻
has anyone other than me noticed the little W’s randomly embossed in the leather? great vid btw...my GST looks awesome.
Yes, its wilson tradem0ark leather
We need some more vids man!!!
This guy is a legend
Also it’s good to add leather softener , and letting that soak in to the ball to preserve the leather more during game use and then add the tack as shown in the video. Great video by the way!
What type do you use
Why did I enjoy this so much😂 Good stuff keep up the great work
Just did your break in method works great!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please show us how u break into the Duke no one made a video on it yet, except the charger and they were using a machine
Literally the exact same but with a Duke hahaha. All the NFL equipment staff have their own way to do it which is better but a lot harder. You can use this guys method for any leather ball
You can always just go out with your buddies and toss it around you'll be surprised how fast it breaks in
Great video😀! Keep up the good work
Jeffrey Gómez vlogs thanks my dude
break in a Nike vapor one leather
Please bro dang
Yes pls
Please
No mud or conditioner?
Use them it's much better
What I do is give the ball a shaving cream bath leaving the shaving cream to soak in for about 15 minutes I do that to remove the wax coating in red dye because the products I use after I want to be able to soak into the leather then I'll wipe the shaving creamoff with a damp rag I don't scrub aggressively pretty much just pat the shaving cream away and while the ball is still damp I take palmer's cocoa butter hand lotion that works just as good as any other leather conditioner and i massage that into the leather with my hands then after that soaks in take murray's beeswax and massage that into the leather then once that soaps in I take a bar of beeswax it's literally the same as a wilson tack bar and run it across each panel of a couple of times.

Love the content
Thanks
thanks Dude . Never would have know that . I just bought a 1004 wilson official .from amazon just wanna kick the thing .
I am getting a 6 get primes and 6 Super Bowl 56 duke nfl football
Great video, definitely subbing to this channel. Can you give us an update on how you like the ball now that you’ve broken it in
thanks dude
I never knew about this no wonder why brett farve always had a tack in his throws
For those who have a Official duke football or GST Official football please only use the tack bar one time on one panel real Lightly if you Continue on putting the tack bar on your football each day you mind as well throw it away the grip will be gone Completely and the ball will be real Slippery how do I know because I did it to my official duke football.... my advice? take those steps in his video so please stay away from football Conditioner and Wilson Tack Spray, White it will mess up your ball 🏈 trust me
that is so not true the grip does not go away and it gets shiny because it gets broken in if you don’t want it broken in don’t buy the prep kit
@@kathleenpodolsky7039 How you going to say it’s not true when I did it to my own football shut up
Okay well I’m just speaking the truth your just lying to these people because you just a cheap skate and think it’s not worth the money you probably can’t afford it anyway
Kathleen Podolsky not sure about the conditioning part because I condition my ball every 5 months but the tack part he’s right you shouldn’t use tack everyday or else it’s going to mess the ball up performance wise
MarioLuigi PlushyNetwork lol
Thanks! Very helpful video
The brushing actually softens the leather and the tack bar gives it plenty of grip what more do you need
Would a similar process still benefit a synthetic leather ball (Nike Vapor 24/7)?
ya dawg it would benefit from the same process
Does this help to throw the ball easier and make it more grippy
Hell yeah
Neetsfoot oil works a treat
Good video can you do a video on breaking in a Wilson gst 1003
Ryan Newman yes I will
It's literally the same process
Great vid
TY
What if I don't use that brush thing cause ion feel like paying 20 dollars for it
you can get one from Walmart for 5 bucks and the tack bar you don't really need it. just warm/hot water and a lot of brushing will do the job. takes 2 or 3 days longer but it'll work.
@@anthonytaylor3274you never want to brush your football while it's wet it destroys the leather by scuffing it
I’m scared I might have ruined mine, I wasn’t thinking and I used dish soap 🤦🏼♂️ some of the dimples came off, what can I do to fix it? It’s still has an ashy look and I can’t get it dark
you cant get the dimples back but i would wet the ball and dry it about 3 or 4 times to get the soap out then i would follow the steps in this video that should help
use saddle soap, it will bring the oil back into the leather
Can you rebrush after putting the tack on?
great video thank you al
Is the NFL duke ball better than the gst prime and the gst 1003?
I like the flight of the duke but the grip of the gst
Same. The duke has a better spin but the gst is soooo much easier and quicker to break in. In my opinion the duke leather is the top notch but man does it take a long time.
does it have to be a leather brush, or can it be any brush (like a handheld one)?
gh_xst / lightningstorm7 it can be any hard bristle brush
Thank you
Will this be good for long term grip to bc I am worried the oil is on there to keep the leathers grip for longer
hey, i don’t wanna buy the wilson prep kit, what can use otherwise?
just use a leather brush, you dont really need the bar. it will be almost the same thanks
And lather Milk.
Just buy the prep kit.
Al can you break in composite footballs or is this just for real leather balls?
Its not a leather ball so no you can not. Don't use the tac bar none of that in the fake leather balls. Its not for it. The you play with the composite balls the better they get
Buddy, first of all, you’ve made a great video! I would like to ask that should I apply the Wilson football conditioner if I have one? which step should I put it on? Thanks!

Sous Que Cooking Gotcha!
Fellas, little bit of neatsfoot oil will do the trick. Then leave it in a hot car for a day.
That's a $120 football. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who buys this ball to just invest an extra $50 on the complete ball conditioning kit from Wilson! You don't wanna ruin a $120 ball using "homemade" recommendations!
He literally said he got his kit FROM Wilson... Listening is hard.
@@tonyh2181 He literally said he passes a wet towel on the ball. The Wilson kit says NOT to do this. But yeah whatever you say.

We’re can I get the baseball mud rub
Lena blackburn
Lena is the best mudd

Best thing to do is condition the leather as much as possible because the best way to create grip on a football is to make that leather soft and plush
How much scrubbing did it take you to get your duke that color?
A lot of scrubbing
Do you recommend the tack spray and bar???
^
I've used the conditioning kit from Wilson on all my leather footballs and I highly recommend it! I also bought the tack spray that comes separate from the kit and it makes your football feel so much better! It comes out to be around $50 but it's completely worth it!
@@reliablethreat23 cool! Okay bro!
How do you make the duke that dark. I got mine in and tried to break it in. It is still the lighter red
you have to use leather conditioner and baseball mud
@@yourfatson8262 His ball is not mudded, it just takes a lot of brushing to get it that dark (without losing the pebbles)
This is great vid he jus brushes if you want that dark ball you gotta mud it or your going to be brushing for a week straight. Plus more benefits to using shaving cream then leather conditioner then the mudd
Just keep using it the leather will soften and darken faster than you think
Wait so you only take care of the ball once or every now and then
Just before you start using it, after that probably just brush
@@mj4423the more you brush the more the pebbling goes bye-bye eventually you're going to end up with a football that is smooth with no pebbling
Do you put the tack bar just once or you can actually put multiple times during the season? Is it a one thing only? I have my Duke and how time goes by, it loses its grip...
Do it three times and buy the conditioner it makes the ball as good as new
Heyy great video!! I was hoping you can answer a few questions, so I got my Wilson GST 1003 Football on Sep.11,2019 and I've noticed how it has gotten darker but I just recently got the Wilson Prep Kit and the Wilson Tack Spray & Conditioner can I still do this process you show in the video maybe take it down a notch?

How often should you prep it with the products just wondering?
Thank you
Jose Sebastian Cuevas You use a small amount of conditioner and rub it in the leather after you’ve scrubbed the ball. Then you apply the tack like he showed in the video and then you can spray lightly over the ball with a mist of tack spray
Jose Sebastian Cuevas the footballs still get warn down I have the same ball w prep kit but it will get darker and smoother but the prep kit should give it more grip.
Andrew Brouillette Thank you!
will the logo be okay while brushing?
Yes it will
Maybe for a few minute but if you go brushing the logos like crazy they will be scuffed
I got a get my gst prime with a high school logo
Al you gotta me some more videos
how hard is the brush you use
Plastic bristles. But they are fairly stiff
Will scrubbing on a panel with design on it ruin the design?
adam no
It most certainly can
Is it possible to run it too hard with the rag?
Yes if you scrub a leather football too much and too hard with a wet rag it's going to destroy the pebbling
Any tips on how to make the points not so sharp?
12345jhop y would u want that? It helps with a spiral a lot and makes it easier to throw and catch...
Jonah_Perez_99 probably a kicker
Bang it hard on the ground.
Put it nose down on the ground and push down it's usually easier if you let a little air out first
Is that an official size?
Brandon Norwood yes, its an official college game ball
I broken in the Nike and it is not good and dark
It is for me, just do it continuously for a long time
@@FuegoBandzMangood way to destroy the pebbling
Yo, your music and actual speaking audio volumes are off as fuck! We have to keep adjusting the volume man.

In fact a $35 composite ball cleaned with water and rag then apply a tack bar and it’s too sticky to even wear gloves 😂😂.. only issue with composite is it doesn’t have much durability..
Yes nfl ball guys are wrong and your right
You're just as wrong as he is. You should never wet the ball or rub of the tack it comes with. It's not a preservative dye. It's Wilson's proprietary tack and you should brush it into the ball before you apply any leather conditioner to it.
This dude probably sucked at football
