This high visibility version of the most popular matchball ever comes in a choice of different colours white, yellow etc. It comproses of non woven PU material which is definitely tough enough for use on most natural and artificial surfaces. Having said this though, after a few weeks training with the ball it is starting to wear slightly around the seams. The cost is around £40-50 and for this price, I expected the ball to hold up through months of training. The ball has exceptionnal balance and a lively performance in the air - similar to the Premiership balls of today. It has been professionally tested and rated as OK for use at match and training levels. It seems to be a popular ball for all ages as it is tough enough to be played by infants up to adults. Finally, the tough calendared PVC outer does come fitted with a low maintenace, high retention bladder.
