Coaches any of you use Baden footballs, our state is going to them as the official football. We have been Wilson for years. Does your QB's like them?
Thanks

I know groundchuck likes the Baden's, but we have had a few and our QB's hated them.

I hate the badens... weird stickiness that goes away quickly. Prefer standard wilsons, but haven't tried rawlings, nike, or reebok.

I really don't like the Badens either. Most of the QBs I've had didn't like them because it seems like they are hard to throw with a tight spiral; like they are unbalanced or something. I guess you get what you pay for.

I think it might depend a little on what type of offense you run. When we were using the Baden we could've just as well used a rubber ball b/c we were throwing 5x a game. We broke out a new Baden each week so they were always tacky.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the Wilson GST and more importantly so do the kids who have to play with it.

What is going to suck is the fact that we have dozens of wilson balls we can't use in games now. I think I saw where you can get two Wilson balls for the price of one Baden ball. In another 5 years the IH$A will switch over to Voit or Nerf if the price it right.

You can still use Wlison balls in regular season games in Illinois. It is only Baden for the playoffs.

I can't wait to hear the howling sound when we throw da-bomb. |

Everything I have seen so far here in Illinois is that the baden balls are more expensive than Wilson

Pricing probably depends on what ball you buy. The Baden Lexum Composite balls we used to buy were around $25/ball.
