Football has been around for a long time, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get high tech like everything around it. That’s probably the thinking behind Wilson Sporting Good Co.’s Wilson X Connected Football, which it launched earlier Monday (Aug. 8).
Billed as a completely new football experience, the Wilson X Connected Football is a regular Wilson football that has a tiny sensor built in. The sensor in the football connects via Bluetooth to the Wilson X Connected Football app, tracking the user’s throw distance, velocity, spiral efficiency, spin rate and if the football was caught or dropped. Players even get their own quarterback ranking score.
