Top Gilbert Rugby Balls

By Stewart Potter


What makes a decent rugby ball? What makes a rugby ball better than another one? I'm constantly amazed by how much technology can fit into one small item, for instance a rugby ball. They are only little. And when considering rugby I get the impression that protection and boots are considerably more important. However I guess the quality of the rugby ball is also important.

I have been shopping on the web in the last week, looking to buy a rugby ball for my boy. There are plenty of different ones to select from and they all seem to offer something different from the one before. All of the different colours and patterns are truly hypnotising. I was shopping for several hours and still had trouble making a decision.

I looked at lots of different rugby balls by Gilbert Rugby. They're a huge brand within rugby so I was sure they'd produce some high-quality options to choose between. Exactly why else would they have been permitted to make the ball used in the Olympics? They should have lots of advanced gear available. I invested a large amount of time browsing their goods. Each and every one presented a large list of features detailing precisely why it was a top quality and reliable rugby ball.

Many of the balls highlighted a special design that was intended to improve grip. I know there are some gloves that are meant to improve your grip. So when you use those and also a ball with a specially designed surface area, then you have absolutely no defense for dropping the ball! It must be something to do with the tiny dimples that are all over the top of the ball. And I bet every single maker should have their own individual style. Each one claiming to be better than another.

With Gilbert Rugby Balls, they are incredibly proud of the valve they have developed. It seems that every ball that they have got makes use of the special valve. It is situated within the seam of the ball, and the design ensures it does not poke out. This is meant to make the ball fly more easily and help make your throw better. So rather than throwing the ball and witnessing it wobble across the air and then go off course, it will have a much smoother flight. I have no idea just how much superior this really is than other models, but I am certain that they've tested it and it will help improve your skills.

There are numerous different sizes for the rugby balls as well. You will find the conventional size 5 ones that are utilized by the majority of players at most levels. This is the most popular size ball. They are the standard competition size and these are the most common size you will see when shopping for rugby balls. There are jr sizes which are, I'm sure you've guessed already, slightly smaller and much more suited to younger players. With their small hands it is a lot easier for them to hold a smaller rugby ball. That is just common sense really.

Also there is a middle size rugby ball that Gilbert make, which I had not found on previous shopping attempts. It's between the jr one and the full-sized version, it's a size 4.5 It is occasionally labelled as a ladies rugby ball. It is a little bit insulting, but I guess women are physically smaller so a somewhat smaller ball is not entirely irrational. But there are simply loads of female rugby players get on fine using the full-size ball so it's not entirely necessary.

But a medium size rugby ball can also be good for developing players. By way of example, younger players that are moving up to a higher level so are enhancing their skills in each and every training session! Going instantly from the smaller sized junior sizes to a full-size ball can be a significant move, so going up gradually using a ball size in the middle can make a large amount of sense. I do believe that'll help plenty of rugby players.
