FAQs

What makes the grip on this ball unique?

The Rhino Graffiti Rugby Ball features a special grip pattern derived from recycled tires, providing enhanced tactile feedback and superior handling, especially in challenging weather conditions.

Is this ball suitable for professional matches?

While designed for performance, its unique visual style might not align with all professional league regulations. It is excellent for training, club level play, and players who value its specific grip and aesthetic.

How do I maintain the grip over time?

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth after use and proper storage will help maintain the grip. Avoid exposing the ball to excessive heat or sunlight.

What is the construction of the ball?

It has a 3-ply laminated construction with a high-tech latex bladder and a surface made from 100% recycled rubber, blended with virgin natural and synthetic rubber. It is also hand-stitched.

What are the dimensions and weight?

The dimensions are approximately H:16 x W:18 x D:32 cm, and the weight is around 0.5 kg, consistent with a standard senior rugby ball.

Can I use this ball in wet weather?

Is the ball environmentally friendly?

Yes, the ball is made from 100% recycled rubber, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Troubleshooting

Ball won't hold air

Check the inflation valve for debris. Ensure the inflation needle is inserted correctly and not damaged. If the issue persists, the bladder may be faulty and require repair or replacement.

Grip feels less effective

Clean the ball thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and oils that can reduce grip. Ensure the ball is properly inflated; under-inflated balls can feel less grippy.

Ball shape is distorted

Ensure the ball is not over-inflated. Store it properly in a cool, dry place. If the distortion is significant and persists after re-inflation, the internal lamination may be compromised.

Surface scuffs or marks

Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a mild rubber cleaner might be used cautiously, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional grip for better handling and control.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular play.
  • Unique aesthetic makes it easily identifiable.
  • Environmentally conscious with recycled materials.
  • Responsive and consistent performance due to the latex bladder.

Cons

  • As a specialized ball, availability might be more limited than standard models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This rugby ball arrives inflated and ready for immediate use. Ensure it is inflated to the recommended pressure before its first game to optimize performance. The optimal pressure is typically indicated on the ball itself or can be found in the manufacturer's general guidelines for rugby balls.

Compatibility:

The Rhino Graffiti Rugby Ball is designed for standard rugby play on grass, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces. It is compatible with standard rugby rules and regulations regarding ball size and weight.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the grip and appearance, clean the ball with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the grip surface and the rubber compound.
  • Storage: Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Over-inflation or under-inflation can affect performance and lifespan; maintain recommended pressure.
  • Inflating: If deflation occurs, use a standard rugby ball pump with a suitable needle. Avoid over-inflating.
