- Hello Spiral Throwers,
I picked up this ball from Gopher (gophersport.co...) and I'm going to encourage you to either skip this ball entirely, or get it directly from Wilson to avoid getting the same poor quality ball I received.
I didn't receive a brush or box with my ball either, just to note, but that's often the case when ordering balls.
Ball I was expecting to receive:
• How to Prep Your Wilso...
• What Happens When You ...
• BRAND NEW WILSON OMEGA...
Just bought the Wilson F2000 because of your review. Can't wait to throw with it, coming from a GST.
I should review that ball in its own video - it’s really a solid product. Enjoy buddy!
I was the one who commented about the omega on the other video. I ended up copping the red leather omega. The leather actual feels like leather and is different than the dark leather. This leather however, is extremely soft. Brushing still doesn't do anything, but has grip because how soft the leather is. It does feel like leather, but doesn't get that slippery sound when running your finger across it like the other leather footballs.
where did you get it? Do you have any pics?
It's almost impossible to get it in canada, and kept checking ebay and eventually one popped up, brand new. Sideline swap may have it aswell. There is another one that popped up on ebay a few days ago I think is still up for sale. I don't have pics but can take some.
Would love to see your version of the ball. It’s still so popular online, but it’s definitely not the trash I have.
I noticed the same thing that the ball doesn’t feel like actual leather. They feel like a composite ball you might get for $20 at Walmart. To add to that, Wilson claims they added more tech than any other ball to increase spin rate, velocity, distance etc. I certainly felt a decrease in velocity and distance especially in trying to make longer throws to the field when compared to the GST. I also noticed an increase in arm pain during camp when we used them compared to the GSTs. I can’t imagine trying to throw these in the rain or if the field is wet because I don’t think it would even be possible. Wilson should be ashamed of this poor quality football that they are trying to pawn off as their best item.
agreed on all counts - Wilson really dropped the ball on the omegas
@@CBPJoey seems like they were made just as a marketing scheme. For QBs who have thrown enough that they can tell the difference between a good and bad ball and can tell when they have to give more effort just to throw the ball softer and shorter, it’s awful. It’s not even just the quality of leather but how bad the ball flight is. Not sure if Wilson has nobody who notices this or if they just don’t care about QC.
Scheels? Never heard of that one. Might have to check it out.
I got mine directly from Wilson 3 weeks ago and it's the exact same as yours. It feels fake and won't change/break-in no matter what you do.
Absolutely trash. For that price it’s completely insane that you’re shipped that garbage.
By the way - go to the Wilson website and watch their Omega break-in video, it’s a completely different ball.
Which do you think is better? The dime or vapor elite? I also have the omega and it also looks like yours but feels surprisingly good?
The dime is nicer out of the box, but the ceiling after break in etc might be higher on the VE
Really disappointing for the most expensive football around. Do you plan on reviewing the nike championship ball?
I want to but I’ll need to pick it up. I’ve held it at a local retailer, it’s pretty high quality before break-in, can’t imagine you’d regret that buy.
@@CBPJoey I’m really interested because it’s advertised as a “slightly smaller” ball but I also saw that it’s actually more rubber than leather in the specs which gives me a little caution
it’s not smaller.
If money is no object, buy a dime or Vapor elite, or GST/gst prime
If you want something a little cheaper, the Team Issue Money Ball is a very strong option allegedly, and I’ll vouch for the leather quality given that I have a Team Issue Dual Threat and it feels great.
It's bad. We bought them for our college and now have to deal with the sunk cost of going back to the GSTs. Got them directly from Wilson as well. We wanted to switch because the quality of GSTs continue to just get worse and worse for reference. If we order 18 we get maybe 5 game balls out of them. Not sure what happened to Wilson over the years and we are contracted by our conference to use Wilson as our game balls
you serious? So some of them come usable/leather and the rest come like this?
man that’s really terrible QC, almost impossibly bad
@@CBPJoey well the Omegas all just come like the one you got. The pre treated leather is just awful. The GSTs come with a variety of issues. Leather issues, shape issues, etc. The good ones of the GSTs are at least still good, but we've started to just go to Scheels and buy up only the ones we can pre check to make sure they are good
