Review on Wilson NCAA Leather Game Football by Sam Sergio

My son wanted to play soccer to practice kicking when he goes to high school. He played several synthetic balls but we felt it was time to move on to more serious balls to better understand and develop his skills. According to him, these Wilson footballs were used in high schools - so we bought two of them and decided to invest in an NFL Duke ball. A month later, the Duke ball is fine and one of the two Wilson balls is still fine. The other ball shows no obvious signs of damage but no longer inflates. It's important to note that we bought this ball for around $79. I see the price is higher now. Leaving this review I am clearly conflicted, one of the balls is still good and the other is overdone. We may have just received a defective ball, but overall I paid the equivalent of $150 for a ball so I have to count that as a disappointment.
