The Best Rugby Balls

By Simon Graft


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've been shopping on the web in the last week trying to pick a ball for my child. There are plenty of variations to choose between. They all appear to boast some feature which is entirely from the preceding one. I found that all of the different colours and patterns are quite hypnotic. I was looking all night and still had trouble to have a final choice.

I checked out lots of different rugby balls from Gilbert Rugby. They are really an important name within rugby so I was sure they'd make some high-quality options to select from. Why else would they have been allowed to produce the ball used in the world cup? They should have plenty of hi-tech equipment available. I spent a great deal of time browsing their options. Each and every one boasted a large list of product features claiming why they were the best ball for the job.

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 version, which I hadn't noticed before. It is between the junior one and the full-size version, it's a size 4.5 This is often classified as a ladies rugby ball. That is a little insulting, but I suppose women are physically smaller so a somewhat scaled-down ball is not totally illogical. But plenty of female players who can get on just fine when using the full-sized ball so it is 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.
