FAQs

What size is the Rhino Comet XIII Rugby League Match Ball?

This product listing is for Size 4, which is a standard size for Rugby League. Please refer to official Rugby League size charts for specific age group recommendations.

Does the ball come inflated?

No, the Rhino Comet XIII is supplied deflated and requires inflation using a ball pump and needle.

What material is the ball made of?

The ball is constructed with a durable, high-grade rubber and features a 3-ply construction.

Is this ball suitable for other codes of football?

While durable, this ball is specifically designed and tailored for the unique requirements of Rugby League in terms of weight, balance, size, and grip pattern.

How should I clean the ball?

Clean the ball using a damp cloth after play. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

How long will the ball last?

The durable rubber and hand-stitched construction are designed for longevity under rigorous play, but lifespan can vary based on frequency of use and playing conditions.

What is the benefit of the Airlock bladder?

The Airlock bladder provides excellent air retention, meaning the ball stays inflated for longer periods, reducing the need for frequent re-inflation during training or matches.

Troubleshooting

Ball not inflating

Ensure the inflation needle is fully inserted into the valve and is not damaged. Check that the pump is functioning correctly.

Ball loses air quickly

Check the valve for any debris or damage. Ensure the inflation needle was removed correctly. If the issue persists, the Airlock bladder may have a fault, and you may need to contact customer support.

Ball feels misshapen

Ensure the ball has been inflated to the correct pressure. If over-inflated, gently release some air. If the shape issue persists after proper inflation, the hand-stitching or internal construction may be compromised.

Grip feels slippery

Clean the ball with a damp cloth to remove dirt or moisture. Ensure hands are dry before handling. The grip is designed for optimal performance when the ball is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Rhino Comet XIII is supplied deflated. You will need a ball pump and a needle to inflate it to the correct pressure before first use.

  1. Insert the inflation needle into the valve.
  2. Pump the ball to the recommended pressure (refer to ball markings or Rugby League guidelines).
  3. Ensure the needle is removed gently after inflation.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Clean the ball with a damp cloth after use, especially if it has been used in muddy or wet conditions.
  • Avoid leaving the ball in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can degrade the rubber.
  • Store the ball properly inflated but not over-inflated, in a cool, dry place.
  • Periodically check the air pressure and re-inflate as necessary.
