Every ball in our All-Terrain Grip Series—The Game Ball, The Dime, The Scout, The Phantom, etc.— is made with the same premium materials, grip, and feel. The only difference is the look!

Can I use this football in the water?
If you're looking for a football specifically made for the water, we recommend our Water Ball 💦—it’s built with a material that actually gets grippier when wet.
All of our other All-Terrain Grip footballs are totally fine to get wet (we live by the beach, so that mattered to us!), but they’re not designed for water play. They perform best once dried off.
What makes your footballs different from the rest?
Most footballs take too much prep, lose grip, or feel nothing like the real thing. Ours are engineered for performance with DimeTack™ Technology — tacky from day one, no prep, no break-in. We also use textured, raised laces and stitched stripes for added control. And all of our footballs are designed by an NFL QB to perform in real conditions.

What material are your footballs made of?
Our All-Terrain footballs are made from an engineered composite leather (the base material is a premium polyurethane). It’s specifically engineered to deliver a grippy feel, a softer touch, and excellent performance in all weather conditions.
Can I use the football on concrete?
You can use our footballs on concrete occasionally, but keep in mind that rough surfaces will wear down any ball faster. For the longest lifespan, we recommend sticking to grass, turf, or similar softer surfaces when possible.
How do I care for and clean the football?
If your football gets dirty, be sure to skip the soap. Just use a dry cotton cloth to wipe down the ball.
And for best grip, give the laces a quick rub with a towel if they feel slick out of the box.
How do I safely inflate the football?
Use a standard inflation needle and insert it carefully. Don’t force it—be gentle to protect the valve.
What’s your return policy?
We want you to love your gear and work to make things right. We accept returns and exchanges within 10 days of receiving as long at the ball is in new, unused condition.
