The updated Canterbury Mentre Training ball, with improved grip for more accurate passing and catching. The valve in the seam improves kicking distance and stability in flight.
Features:
3 ply (1 ply heavy woven cotton + 2 ply of polyester)
Quality training ball with natural rubber compound surface for increased durability
Tri-grip emboss for great grip and handling
Inflation valve in seam to give great stability and balance to the ball in flight
Ball Care:
Inflate to 9.5 psi using a hand pump
Prior to training or match, use a soft cloth, light detergent and warm water to remove dirt and residue from your rugby ball. This ensures that the grip remains in prime condition for maximum length of time.
"I was excited to see a match ball at such a reasonable price. Good on WRS to try to offer a low cost solution for clubs. Unfortunately, the ball's quality isn't quite good enough for a match ball at the senior level, in my opinion. The weight is a little off, it does not spiral as well as a balanced ball, and the grip is not quite "sticky" enough for a match ball. Could maybe work at the college/high school/youth level for clubs needing to save some money."
— Jeffery W. (3/5)
Perfect for training the next generation
"I bought this for my three year old for Christmas because she asked for a pink rugby ball. It’s still over-sized for a three year old (I forget which age group it’s actually designed for) but she enjoys playing with it and is always super-cute when doing it. Great ball for my little hobbit. And it makes me feel huge when I hold it."
— Alexander M. (5/5)
Great print quality but it came if multiple holes
"I had to super glue cover a few(4) holes in this particular ball but the print quality and sizing is true."
— Benia B. (2/5)
Product is mostly okay
"It would be a just okay ball if i didn’t have an issue with the air valve poking out too far, and it just makes the ball feel awkward while handling. Ball is a little skinny."
— Elijah H. (2/5)
The rugby balls are great.
"The rugby balls are great."
— Gary J. (5/5)
Good value.
"Good ball for the price. Well balanced."
