FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Rhino Mistral grip developer?
Its main purpose is to improve catching ability by challenging the user's natural grip, thereby developing stronger hands and fingers. It's ideal for training sessions.
Is this ball suitable for playing in a match?
No, the Rhino Mistral is specifically designed as a training tool to enhance catching skills and is not intended for official match play.
What material is the ball made from?
It is constructed from a combination of Natural Rubber and Synthetic Rubber.
Does the ball come inflated?
No, the Rhino Mistral is supplied deflated and will require inflation before it can be used.
How do I clean and maintain the ball?
Clean with a damp cloth after use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What does 'Cyclone Quality' mean?
'Cyclone Quality' refers to the high standard of manufacturing and materials used, similar to Rhino's well-regarded Cyclone ball range, ensuring durability and consistent performance.
What is the benefit of a gripless training ball?
A gripless ball forces the user to rely solely on their hand and finger strength and technique to secure the catch, leading to a more fundamental improvement in catching ability.
Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate
Ensure the pump needle is correctly inserted into the valve and that the pump is functional. Check for any obstructions in the valve.
Ball loses air quickly
Check the valve for any damage or debris. Ensure the valve is properly sealed after inflation. If the issue persists, the bladder may have a leak and require repair or replacement.
Uneven shape or rebound
Ensure the ball is inflated to the recommended pressure. Allow the ball to rest for a few hours after initial inflation, as the 3-ply construction may need time to settle.
Surface feels sticky or develops marks
This can happen with rubber balls. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with certain surfaces that might transfer color or residue.
