Product Information
Full details
The Rhino Cyclone Training Rugby Ball is an ideal choice for rugby players and coaches seeking a reliable, high-performance ball for rigorous practice sessions. Its primary benefit is the combination of rugged 3-ply construction and a superior 3D pimple grip that ensures precise handling in various weather conditions. One important caveat is that the ball is delivered deflated, requiring the user to have a standard ball pump and needle on hand before use.

FAQs
Does the ball come with a pump?
No, the Rhino Cyclone Training Rugby Ball is supplied deflated and does not include a pump or needle.
What is the best way to store this ball?
Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from becoming brittle.
Can this ball be used for competitive matches?
This is specifically designed as a training ball; while durable, match balls often have different weight and texture specifications.
Why is it made with a latex bladder?
Latex bladders are preferred by players for the superior feel, natural rebound, and flight characteristics they offer.
How often should I inflate the ball?
Due to the latex bladder, it is best practice to check and top up the air pressure before every training session.
Troubleshooting
The ball feels soft shortly after inflation
Latex bladders naturally lose air faster than synthetic bladders. Ensure you check the pressure before each session.
Inflation needle is difficult to insert
Apply a tiny amount of water or valve oil to the tip of the needle to lubricate the entry point.
The ball surface is losing grip
Clean the ball with warm water and a soft brush to remove dirt, grease, and grass stains that clog the 3D pimple texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your Rhino Cyclone Training Rugby Ball, use a standard inflation needle lubricated with a drop of silicone oil or water to protect the valve. Insert it carefully and pump until the ball feels firm but still allows for a slight compression under thumb pressure. To maintain the life of the ball, avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV radiation can degrade the laminate surface. After training, wipe off mud and grit with a damp cloth, and store it in a cool, dry place. Do not sit on or stand on the ball, as this can compromise the internal stitch work and overall shape.
