The Gilbert Rugby Training Ball GTR4000 came onto the scene in late 2016 to replace the popular Gilbert Zenon ball. While maintaining many of the values and strengths related to the Zenon ball, its major upgrade lies in the improved grip configuration.
The new textured TRI grip technology gives the player a better grip and allows for an easier catch, as more of the surface area is in contact with the hand. The pattern is now more defined and is harder to wear than the Zenon ball. Plus, the HYDRATEC waterproof laminated layers are designed to enhance the life and performance of the ball. With the classic four-panel design with hand stitching, it’s finished with Gilbert branding for a great look.
The ball is available in 3 colours red, blue, and black in size 5.

The bladder also gets an upgrade and uses the latest HAR technology, which gives all training balls the High Air Retention bladder, so the balls stay inflated for longer. The Lusum rugby training balls are the very best training ball available for less than £10. Check out other brands and you will find they are constructed with a less reliable 2 ply outer, Lusum balls are all minimum 3 ply. This Munifex rugby ball needs to be seen and played with, to appreciate the quality.
You may question how Lusum can produce a rugby training ball of this quality for such a low price. But if you remember that Lusum, unlike other brands, choose not to sponsor teams, leagues, or players, which saves huge amounts of money. This money is then invested in producing improved technology, better designs, and materials, meaning you get better quality balls for less money. Don't be fooled by inflated prices, this doesn't define the balls quality, it may just mean you are contributing more towards the manufacturers marketing spend.
