• 5 out of 5 Great quality!

  Newitts Verified Purchase (28 May 2025)

  My son is thrilled with his rugby ball.

  It’s true what they say…. You get what you pay for. The ball was easy to inflate and is very good quality (shame I wasted money on previous substandard ones).

  Very swift delivery and easy payment. This is the first time I have purchased from Newitt’s and I highly recommend them.

  Thank you.

• 5 out of 5 There’s a place.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (9 Jan 2022)

  My grandson was thrilled with this especially as you had provided age appropriate size. Unfortunately nasty parents have confiscated it, perhaps trying to kick it indoors was not such a good idea

• 5 out of 5 Great

  Newitts Verified Purchase (22 Dec 2021)

  Got the yellow and blue one for my son. Was tricky to blow up - we ended up using a bike pump rather than a ball pump. Other than that it’s great. He loves the colour and practices with it all the time

  Newitts Verified Purchase (9 Jan 2021)

  Only had the balls for a short while, but I have worked with Gilbert balls for many years. They make good quality balls that look good and are well put together.

• 5 out of 5 Great ball

  Newitts Verified Purchase (8 Oct 2020)

  Grip is by far the best I’ve on a trainer ball. Had numerous of these balls and do not wear out quickly on the grass. Wouldn’t recommend using on tarmac as this significantly wears it out.

  Excellent training balls, with great grip. However do need to be topped up with air regularly.

• 4 out of 5 Mostly excellent

  Good value for training balls although one of them has hardly any grip so quality could be more consistent.

• 5 out of 5 Great ball but...

  Newitts Verified Purchase (8 Nov 2018)

  We have found this ball to be very good and doesn't lose it's grip over time like some others. The only criticism is that they don't have GPS. We lose so many hence keep buying more :-)
