["Brand: Gilbert","FM: Warehouse","Prod Sub Type: Match"]
Gilbert, the most trusted brand for rugby balls, has designed a new ball for ultimate match performance in all conditions.
The Atom Match ball features G-SR rubber compound surface for enhanced grip and Gilbert's Truflight valve, a unique valve shape and placement that redistributes weight along the seams of the ball to improve rotational stability. 3 ply poly-cotton and cotton laminate panel gives the ball slightly more weight. The ball enhances kicking accuracy, and generally hold its shape better than a ball of 2 ply construction.
Features:
Hand stitched
Designed for school and club rugby
Great for transition from Junior to Adult rugby
Outstanding performance in all conditions
Gilbert’s most forgiving ball when it comes to kicking accuracy
G-SR rubber compound surface for ultimate grip
Truflight valve for continued inflation in all weather conditions
3 ply poly-cotton and cotton laminate
Conforms to World Rugby specifications
Gilbert logo
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.
"After a month or so with the ball I'm disappointed in the panels having not smoothed out along the edges/seams. Also the interior valve core protrudes noticeably from the panels. I feel as if cheaper Gilbert or Rhino practice balls have been more uniform."
— BRANDON P. (2/5)
