Product Information
Full details
The Mitre Grib Rugby Ball is designed for club players and rugby enthusiasts who require a reliable, high-grip ball for consistent training and match play. Its standout feature is the engineered pimple grip surface that provides superior handling in wet or dry conditions, though users should note that the ball arrives deflated and requires a standard pump for initial setup.

FAQs
Is this a match-grade ball?
Yes, the Mitre Grib is built to professional standards, making it suitable for both training and competitive match play.
Does it come with a pump?
No, the ball is supplied deflated and does not include a pump or needle.
What is the recommended inflation pressure?
Standard rugby ball inflation pressure is typically between 9 and 10 PSI; however, always check for manufacturer markings on the valve area.
Can I use this ball on 3G or 4G artificial pitches?
Yes, the durable outer shell is designed to withstand the abrasive surfaces of modern synthetic pitches.
What does the 3-ply construction mean?
It refers to three layers of lining material inside the ball that reinforce the bladder, ensuring the ball keeps its shape and bounces correctly.
How do I store the ball during the off-season?
Store it in a cool, dry area at a slightly reduced pressure to relieve tension on the seams.
Troubleshooting
Ball feels uneven or lopsided
Check that the internal bladder is evenly distributed by gently kneading the ball or ensure it is fully inflated to the recommended pressure.
Difficulty inserting inflation needle
Ensure the needle is clean and apply a small amount of water or glycerin to the tip to lubricate the valve entry.
Loss of grip texture
Wash the ball with warm, soapy water and a soft brush to remove accumulated dirt and grass, then air dry away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your Mitre Grib Rugby Ball, ensure you have a standard sports pump equipped with a needle adapter. Insert the needle gently into the valve, applying a drop of lubricant or water to the needle if necessary, and inflate until the ball feels firm but retains a slight "give" for proper kick performance. To ensure longevity, always wipe the surface clean of mud and debris after use using a damp cloth. Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the outer materials and grip texture over time.
