Gilbert Rebounder Rugby Training Ball Size 5
The Gilbert Rebounder ball transforms every training session into an intensive technical exercise. Its textured rubber surface generates random bounces on ground contact, forcing players to refine their reflexes, reaction speed, and hand-eye coordination. Ideal for practicing catching volleys, passes under pressure, or dexterity drills, it suits players of all levels seeking to progress beyond traditional pitch training.
Official size 5, compatible with XV game standards. The rubber withstands rough surfaces (asphalt, gravel, synthetic pitches), where a standard match ball would wear out quickly. Reinforced structure to absorb repeated impacts without loss of shape or pressure.
FAQ
Is the ball suitable for official matches?
No, this ball is designed exclusively for training. Its texture and bounce do not meet competition standards.
What is the recommended inflation pressure?
Inflate between 0.67 and 0.70 bar (9.5-10 psi) for optimal bounce without compromising structure.
Can it be used on hard ground safely?
Yes, the rubber tolerates asphalt and synthetic pitches. Avoid extremely abrasive surfaces (sharp gravel).
Technical specifications
Care instructionsRinse with clean water after use on dusty ground. Dry with a non-abrasive cloth. Store away from frost and prolonged sun exposure (rubber can harden or crack). Check pressure before each session — under-inflation reduces bounce effect, over-inflation weakens the chamber. DesignThe alveolar texture of the rubber creates irregular contact zones: on bounce, the ball deviates depending on impact angle, simulating chaotic trajectories of a scuffed or poorly controlled match ball. This unpredictability keeps the player constantly alert, improving visual processing speed and muscle reactivity. The monocoque structure absorbs shocks without permanent deformation, unlike composite balls which may delaminate on hard surfaces. BrandGilbert has equipped rugby worldwide since 1823. As a historical ball specialist, the English brand designs training tools based on feedback from professional clubs and national federations. The Rebounder is part of a technical range where each product meets a targeted progression objective — here, mastery under uncertainty constraints. |
