Our Wilson leather footballs are slick to the point of being difficult to grip. How do you recondition your leather footballs? I'm aware that Wilson sells a brush that is supposed to help. I've also seen coaches wipe the footballs with a sponge after using the brush, and the sponge made the ball really tacky.

Does anyone know what type of sponge works in this manner and where to obtain them?

Do you use any other techniques to bring your footballs back to life?

If the balls believe they can compete, you are half-way there.
