R100 Size 4 Rugby Ball - Orange

Not all of our balls are made in the same way. The panels can be stitched in different ways: machine stitched or hand stitched for more resistance to wear, better shape retention, and therefore better performance.A ball's grip is what lets you control it when passing and receiving.

As a beginner, you'll want a fun ball that's easy to handle: get something light and grippy from the 100 or 300 range that will help you progress.

If you train or play matches regularly, you'll need a durable ball that stays inflated and is comfortable on both your hands and feet. The 500 and 900 ranges are just your thing.
