Is this whole process still useful for a moderately used football instead of brand new one?

Thanks for outlining this process in a way a layperson can emulate and showing how different the finished product looks and feels.

Actually

does it matter if the mud just says baseball or does it have to say football too

Dude wore the same shirt every day!😀

what happened to the football that you wiped with the wet rag?

25:17 “we’re going to be making a lot more videos” 😢

Bro, how many times did this man say the word “ actual” in this video

Can you do this on an nfl ball?

I totally messed up 😫😫😫😫

What if I got the conditioner on the laces?

25:18 "we will be posting more videos” 3 years later

When should u add the tack spray

Do you not use the tack spray?

Do you have to do all of these steps at once or can i use the water first then buy the stuff later

Should name the video "so what you wanna do is..." 😂 Thanks for the tips! On the wax now. Should add alternative materials/supplies for people not living in the US who don't have the materials in the video (i.e. mud, brushes, conditioner, etc.)

What about tack spray

According to the Wilson web site you should never ever use Water, Shaving Cream, Milk, Lanolin, Oils etc. on the ball. because this breaks down the leather and retards absorption of condition oil etc. The balls come pre-conditioned the leather is not dye at all but the conditioner that is applied and brushing the ball is the first process to bring that conditioning back out, they become sticky doing this, then deflate ball to 8lbs, then you mix Wilson Conditioner/Tack spray 2:1 and rub ball down with mixture let dry 3-5 min. then you hit it with a heat gun each panel on low to finish drying, then you add the Mud thin layer at a milk shake consistency & let dry 1-24hr, then brush in mud leaving slight dusting then you Condition one last time. I've done this with Great success for our High School team. Then I use tack bar and tack spray weekly/as needed, brushed in after reapplication And condition on occasion as well.

Got 2 shoe polishing brushes. No "Wilson" brush necessary. 😀

How do you recommend doing between the laces??

After removing the mud, I’m having a hard time keeping dust off the ball, and not maintaining the dark color. Should I wax the football immediately following the removal of the mud?

Ruined my 100 dollar ball😢

Keep a ball with no wax for cold weather if you're in the North... the waxed balls get very slippery when below 45-50°F

My gst football is peeling on the tips how do I stop that

Why not use warm water in a rag to get off the shaving cream you would think just using a brush that it's still going to be up there

One more question, I was on the Wilson site and they don't recommend hot water or shaving cream, any thoughts on that?

I have the mud, buy I'm not getting the conditioner and tack until Tuesday and it's Friday. Can use the mud now, hoping that it will soften the ball for a game this Sunday?

Yo what about the tack spray?

When removing the mud, can I just take it outside and squirt it off with a garden hose?

When do you use the tack?

Do you spray the tack spray on the football? Like directly if so do you leave it, brush it...what is the process there?

Does shaving gel work too?

Do we have to do both shaving cream and conditioner? or is one fine?

Would you do the same for a composite football?

Great video! I never knew breaking in footballs was this complex. Very informative! I’m definitely bringing this topic up to my local youth football league.

My football didn’t get ask dark when the conditioner was applied 12:10

Mine did not work

Does the football have to be 100% leather or can it be synthetic leather?

What’s the tack spray for? Didn’t see you use it

This has got to be a new thing. I’m 72 years old, played flag football, PopWarner, high school, and one year college. Never broke in a football. We just went outside and threw it and kicked it, and played.

Is there a reason you didn't use the tack spray and should you use it?

That’s expensive mud

Im curious is this is the process of making the ball better for actual use. Why does wilson add all the dye in the first place?

And now I know why I loved old used footballs and hated new ones as a kid. The new wasn't broken in.

How do I get my ball to be shiny again after using it?

Can you use shaving Gel for this ball?

If you don’t have a second brush is it ok to use it still?

Isn’t it bad to get a leather football wet

I like to mix some conditioner with the mud before applying it.

Confused on starting wax step 7. Video shows waxing right after brushed off damp mud. No dry time before wax? Isn’t waxing right after trapping water in if it’s not totally dry?
