The Field Series
The ball
1.5mm polyurethane leather over a 2mm EVA foam cushion, hand-stitched with Italian waxed polyester thread onto a seamless latex bladder. Thirty-two panels. The surface is hand screen-printed with scuff-proof paint, and the seams carry a thermo-activated sealant, so rain and grit stay out.
The making
Thirty-two panels, cut one at a time by hand, hand screened before a single stitch is made, then closed with waxed thread in a workshop in Monguí, Colombia. One ball takes up to three hours of hand work. Most ballmakers make two to three in a day. A machine-bonded ball takes minutes.
Size and fit
Size 5, the standard adult ball, recommended for ages 13 and up. It is the ball most people are looking for. For a younger player the No. 152 also comes in a Size 4, made for ages 8 to 12.

Why we made it
The greatest strides are made in the quiet hours, in the repetitive sessions that define a player’s craft. The No. 152 was built to honor that. It is a departure from the one-season ball, an alternative for anyone who has outgrown the cycle of disposable gear. We built it to be used.

Every Hayworth ball is stitched by hand in one mountain town in the Colombian Andes, where the craft goes back to 1932. Fewer than one ball in ten made today is stitched by hand at all.

Superior quality
Really great product--we bought 5 for our high school soccer team. Have held up really well despite very hard use. Highly recommend.
Wow!
This ball has everything a match ball should -The responsiveness that only a hand stitched ball can provide. -Excellent touch and pure flight from high quality textured panels. -Consistency all the way around thanks to classic 32 panel design. -Proper color distribution to show rotation. Plays better than the competitors in my opinion. I'm 6 months in and it still looks and plays great, so it's durable too! Thanks for offering a world class product. I could not be happier with this ball!
Quality
As soon as I unpacked the box, I knew it was a quality ball. I played for the American Samoa national football team for 20 years, so I've played with balls with varying qualities. The thick texture is durable, but cushiony. It travels so smoothly too. A footballers best friend is a ball that listens to their foot. This Hayworth ball listens to mine. Thank you Hayworth!
Top of the line
This ball is made with such quality. I'm genuinely proud to own it. It has the perfect amount of texture and padding that I look for—its definitely the best ball I've ever used, and I've played for over 20 years.
Quality.
Quality experience from the unboxing to the pitch. No nonsense. No BS. This ball is what I expected a match ball to be and I like that. Quality materials and build you don't see anymore. To finish things, love the vintage look.
great quality, great story
I have always used cheaply made soccer balls because I honestly thought there was no real difference in quality, unless you're talking about what they are using at the WC. But Hayworth majorly proved me wrong. I brought the ball to my Sunday League game, and it immediately became the team favorite to use as a game ball. Getting a quality product is one thing, but knowing the people who made it are being paid well, treated well, and love what they do is next level. Highly recommend.
Great ball. The classic design helps it standout against the modern designs. As for play, the ball comes off the foot well, travels well after contact, and moves across a pitch smoothly.
This was our first time using a Hayworth ball and the quality of it is phenomenal. We look forward to continuing to use Hayworth for our soccer tournaments.
Very Happy
Very happy with the quality craftsmanship and weight of this ball!! We have been using it as a game ball, and everyone is loving it. Thank you!
The True Tongue of the Beautiful Game
Playing with a Hayworth ball is like speaking the universal language of soccer with perfect fluency. The touch, control, and responsiveness it offers makes every pass and strike feel intentional and smooth. Soccer is the world's language—and with a Hayworth ball at your feet, you're speaking it with a golden tongue.
Very good quality. It's not too slippery or sticky. Which can be a problem with some balls. I liked the texture and it feels to pass it around and kick around with it. It's a great all around ball. I only wish I could play games with it.
False9 practice
the balls we tested were great. Sometimes when aired up too much they were a bit heavy but when aired up nicely they were a great ball to use.
Fantastic balls, good to the touch, and well weighted
Top Class Football
I've been using the Hayworth Athletic football for some time now, and it's exceeded my expectations.! The quality is top-notch, with excellent durability and a consistent bounce that made play feel smooth and professional. It held up perfectly during intense sessions and maintained its shape throughout. Highly recommend it for players at any level!
Well made ball!
The ball has a premium look and feel, but plays well and I always get questions about it whenever I bring it with me to train.
Great soccer Balls
I recently got a ball from Hayworth Athletic and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations! The craftsmanship is top-notch, and you can really tell that a lot of care went into making it. The ball has a great grip and bounce, which makes it perfect for both practice and matches. The delivery was quick to get to Ghana, and the ball arrived in perfect condition, ready to hit the field. Overall, I highly recommend Hayworth Athletic soccer balls to anyone looking for quality gear. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, you'll find something that suits your needs. Support this awesome shop and get yourself a fantastic soccer ball!
Great ball! Worth every penny!
The craftsmanship in the Hayworth soccer ball is excellent! The stitching is beautiful and you can feel the love that is put into creating it. The texture of the ball definitely has a lot more grip compared to other mass produced brands. If you are in the market for a high quality hand made soccer ball, I highly suggest picking up a Hayworth!
High Quality! Love the feel
Absolutely love the ball. Has a nice padding to it, which helps with my ball striking and getting a good feel when dribbling. Has a very light feel when touching with feet, but a very robust feel when in the hands. As a goalkeeper, no funny movement or issues tracking. Nice to catch and punt with. Such. High quality ball, and would recommend to all players, especially those looking for a durable high quality training ball!
Javier Garcia's Review
Hayworth's Athletic soccer ball size 5 is an absolutely beautiful piece. The way this ball was manufactured gave it a great touch judging by the beautiful backstory it has behind. Perfect ball for training or even just to have as a collection. Overall great product! Looking forward to see the company keep growing.
Carver Miller review
When I received the ball I was very excited and surprised with the quality of the ball. I was very impressed with it on the field. It is a great ball to work on your touch and control it almost does those things for you. I have been using it for a while now and it's still in great condition. I am glad that I was able to get one.
Love Hayworth Balls
These balls are awesome. It's the most durable ball I've played with. It's great having a top tier ball in all of our matches and practices. And I love what the Hayworth brand represents.
As a recreational player who appreciates high-quality gear, I'm thoroughly impressed with the Hayworth. It's not just a ball; it elevates the playing experience. The textured surface provides exceptional grip for confident dribbling, passing, and shooting. It flies consistently and accurately, even on ambitious passes across the field. I've enjoyed using it in friendly matches or just playing in the park, and it's held up very well. The stitching is tight, the materials are top-notch, and it just feels great to play with. If you're a recreational player who enjoys gear that performs as good as it looks, the Hayworth is a fantastic choice.
One of the best Soccer balls I have used in my life
One of the most high quality balls I have used, I play pro and use a lot of different soccer balls when it come to training and games. This has the durable quality, amazing touch and control you could ask for in a soccer ball, 10/10
Love my stuff!!
Great ball, amazing bag and hat. Some of the nicest people I've got to work with. Definitely have recommended it after I received it. Love this ball!! Definitely would want another one! Love the vision and mission on this company. Keep up what you guys are doing!
5 Stars!!
As a lifelong soccer player and enthusiast, I love the ball, the brand, and everything about what Hayworth is building! Highly recommend!
Quality with a purpose
Can't say enough good things about the quality of the soccer ball and the reason behind making it too. From the beautiful packaging to the stitches, you can tell it's done with purpose and sincerity. My daughter mentioned how much better the ball leaves her foot when she dribbles and shoots.
Beautiful ball for the beautiful game
I received three Standard Model Hayworths as a gift to support my soccer-obsessed family of five. We're the kind of family that always had a ball in the boot in case a parking lot might become the next pitch. The ball is beautiful. Like many, I've sort of grown accustomed to the mass-produced variety, bought more typically for whatever hastily printed logo is on it than the actual quality and experience of kicking it. The Hayworth transported me back to my own childhood, in Colombia, where the things we consumed were generally made by someone with pride and care, rather than speed and scale. If you love the beautiful game, Hayworth is a terrific business to support — one championing beauty, craft and history. We have one of ours in rotation, another up on the mantle, and the last in reserve.
Best ball one can get
Its the perfect weight and it just feels great to play with the ball, the customer service is amazing and the shipping is fast
Good ball!
Has a lovely ping to it. Big fan of the texturing on the panels. I play on turf and it has withstood the heat and abrasion.
A Beautifully Crafted Tool for Any Soccer Enthusiast
Not all soccer balls are created equal. By my lights, a good soccer ball must feel good to the touch, deliver a consistent travel, and be capable of enduring countless hours of training and matches. In each category, Hayworth's No. 152 soccer ball delivers in spades. The touch is very comfortable, reminiscent of a Select Brillant Super (that's a compliment.) The travel is solid, opening up multiple options when it comes to passing and shooting. Finally, the ball is crafted to last a very long time. Make no this is a match-quality ball. Every soccer player should have at least one quality ball in their arsenal. This ball should be your top choice.
Play On
Crafted to withstand even the wildest of Wisconsin's weather. And looks darn good while doing it.
Great ball, great company. The quality is easy to see and feel. Definitely better than other balls at this price point.
High Quality Ball, Incredible construction a bit heavy though
The quality of these balls is incredible. They will last forever. I've had mine for about a year without more than scuffs. The ball is a little heavy, though. It works great in smaller matches, as you can get a better touch on it. However, for big field matches, 11v11, this ball is a tad heavy, and I'm definitely not heading it.
Ball feels and rolls great!
The Hayworth No. 152 is one of the best — if not the best — training balls I've ever used. The 1.5mm PU hand-stitched leather gives it a professional, consistent touch that machine-stitched balls simply can't replicate. The flight is clean and true, the feel is spot-on, and it holds up session after session without losing its shape or responsiveness. If you're serious about the game, stop cycling through disposable balls and invest in a high-quality option.
Excellent ball!
I love this ball!
Sensational Ball
The ball has been great, offers a very unique experience in a great way. A very classic and honest approach to a ball and I appreciate that. It has great feel and punch, something as a player I really look forward to with a quality ball and you can see the craftsmanship that went into the making of the ball. - it offers a sensational glide and predictability while passing but I can see some players having trouble with their touch on the ball while it is wet. I really have enjoyed it
Top quality soccer balls
We’ve been using these soccer balls for a few months now, and they’ve been fantastic! Our players love the way they feel and how smoothly they respond when passing or shooting. Unlike other balls, they aren’t overly sticky when dribbling, making them a pleasure to play with. Overall, an outstanding product—definitely worth the investment!
To notch quality
5 out 5 stars! Great quality and style get many complements on this ball at my local park
Great and strong ball
I am highly satisfied with the ball. However, I did encounter an issue with UPS, as they initially delivered it to the wrong address. Fortunately, I was able to retrieve it. Overall, I am pleased with the quality of the ball, especially considering its price. I hope it will prove to be durable. Additionally, I have recommended this ball to a few friends who have examined it and are considering purchasing their own in the future.
Incredible Ball
I love this ball. The design and details are so good, and the timeless aesthetic of it is awesome. The quality is great and surpassed my expectations. It feels on par with those expensive USL match quality Select balls. The bladder and paneling are also proving to be high quality, after taking a beating the last few months it still feels like new. Hope to have a training net full of these in the near future.
Great ball!
Great material! The ball has a great bounce and quality material that you can feel when you kick or stop the ball. Recommend for all levels of players.
Great Product
The quality of the ball is top-drawer, and the hat looks great! Couldn't be more pleased with either item.
