["Brand: Gilbert","FM: Warehouse","Prod Sub Type: Training"]
The G-TR4000 is the latest and greatest in training balls from the most trusted name in the industry.
Featuring Gilbert's newly patented Triangular surface grip pattern, the G-TR4000 represents a major step forward in grip technology on training balls. Tests have shown that this new, more defined pattern is hard wearing and allows the player more surface area contact with the ball when handling. Hydratec technical fabrics and waterproof laminations have been installed to enhance the life and performance of the ball. A 3 ply poly-cotton and cotton laminate panel means that the ball will weigh slightly more, perform better on longer kicks and passes, and generally hold it's shape better than a ball of 2 ply construction. The durable rubber surface makes for a long lasting practice ball.
Features:
3 ply poly-cotton construction
Slightly heavier than 2 ply balls
Hand stitched
Grip technology
Hardwearing and durable
Waterproof laminations
G-TR4000 Sizes: size 3 (recommended for ages 7-10), size 4 (ages 11-13), and size 5 (ages 14-Senior).
All Gilbert balls are hand stitched to ensure quality and care. All balls will ship deflated.
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.
The Gilbert G-TR4000 Training Ball is highly regarded for its exceptional grip, quality, and shipping efficiency. It features a durable, waterproof design with a unique triangular surface grip pattern, ensuring long-lasting performance and better handling. Ideal for various age groups, this ball is slightly heavier and hand-stitched for added durability.
"good grip, good quality, quick delivery" — Brad C.

Reviews
Great Training Ball for Players at Any Level
"You really can't go wrong with a Gilbert training ball. The grip is excellent, it feels great in the hands, and it's exactly what you want for passing drills, kicking practice, or just getting reps in. The ball arrived quickly, inflated easily, and has held its shape well. As always, World Rugby Shop shipped fast and delivered another quality product. If you're looking for a solid training ball that will last, I'd definitely recommend this one."
