  This is our regular match ball and is of suitable quality for all of our senior sides. It is reasonably durable for the price paid and we will continue to order thru Newitts who can supply these balls from stock in a timely fashion.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (9 Mar 2024)

  Two games. Probably won’t go another. Good but not great. Not sure if it’s worth going up a grade or back to the base line (Omega)?

• 5 out of 5 Untried

  Newitts Verified Purchase (5 Aug 2023)

  As the new season hasn’t started yet we haven’t used the balls but if past experience of the Gilbert Kinetin ball is anything to go by they should be fine. Newitt’s service was as always very efficient.

• 5 out of 5 Very good ball.

  Newitts Verified Purchase (9 Mar 2023)

  All the Gilbert balls are quality but this one appears to keep its grip much better match on match, definitely worth the extra few quid.

• 3 out of 5 Match ball

  Newitts Verified Purchase (14 Jan 2023)

  Used these as match balls only for our club with air pressure check on inflation and cleaning after and good care. Quality generally good but a couple of balls have lost grip quicker than expected on one of the panels and have had to be replaced. Some of the stitching seems a little fragile in places. Not sure what the expected life is on them so could be judging harshly.

• 5 out of 5 Such a great gift for my 15 year old!

  Newitts Verified Purchase (15 Nov 2022)

  Thank you for such a great product, great price, great service and great delivery. Arrived in time for my sons 15 year old birthday, who is rugby mad. He was delighted to open it, takes this ball everywhere, and has been using to practice conversions, passing, kicking etc for his under 15s teams. I recommend to you. The grip is so great too!

• 5 out of 5 Great match ball

  Newitts Verified Purchase (16 Oct 2021)

  Our flyhalf swears by the pre-kicked kinetica. Increased accuracy and range.

• 5 out of 5 Superb ball

  Newitts Verified Purchase (28 Sep 2021)

  The Gilbert Kinetica is a superb ball. The kicker was very pleased, and only missed 1 kick from a long way out. The backs said handling was great, and found it hard to actually drop it. We now have to wait for the wet weather, and see if it still meets expectations. Hewitt’s service was also superb. Next day delivery, and a good price.

• 5 out of 5 Gilbert Kinetica Match Ball

  Great ball to use for handling / passing drills. A little more expensive than regular balls but you get good quality when paying for this particular ball. Instant professional feel and grip that makes it a difficult ball to drop! Highly recommended - Newitts also have the best prices I have seen around comparatively for all training and match balls - also highly recommend as a company, great contact free delivery and kept up to date throughout the process.
