Unparalleled Design

Crafted in a sleek all-black finish, the Phantom Football showcases the expertise of former NFL QB Kurt Benkert. After years of navigating the challenges of traditional football grips, Benkert developed this impressive ball to eliminate the mudding and break-in processes that frustrate many players.

Advanced Grip Technology

At the core of the Phantom Football is DimeTack™, a proprietary coating that provides an optimal grip right from the first throw. This innovative composite leather ensures the ball maintains its feel and control, even under wet conditions, breaking free from the limitations of standard footballs.

Crafted for Performance

Beyond its striking appearance, the Phantom is meticulously engineered with raised, textured laces and double-stitched stripes for stability and precision. Its construction from a polyurethane composite not only enhances grip but also retains a softer feel, ensuring comfort during extended play sessions.

Size Options For Every Player

The Phantom Football caters to players of all ages, offering three sizes: Junior (ages 9-12), Intermediate (ages 12+), and Official (ages 14+). Each size is designed to meet the specifications required for youth, high school, and college-level play.
