What brand of ball do YOU use?

[USA_Rugby]

I have a nice Summit ball I picked up when visiting Australia. It gets the job done, and I like it!

 

[ninjapirate]

yay gilbert

 

[woodie]

Never even laid hands on an Adidas or Summit ball. Gilbert's do just fine. Use Ram and Webb Ellis here and there as well.

 

[spacemanspiff]

summit is nice

 

[USA_Rugby]

I'm hoping to get a Gilbert Revolution Match ball from WorldRugbyShop for my b-day coming up in 5 months...

 

[Canadian_Rugby_Guy]

I've seen alot of gilbert, own a barbarian ball, and practice with mitre at school.

 

[sanzar]

Just curious USA_Rugby, when did you decide to start following the wallabies?

 

[sambãd5]

theres nothing wrong with a gilbert ball. thats why i like them...

...but there is nothing better than playing with a free rugby ball (like a crappy petrol station give away one, or to the like) and playing backyard rugby, nothing better

Gilbert for matches, Summit for training.

 

[SaintsFan_Webby]

Gilbert all the time, although I have come to quite like those Mitre balls Italy use. I find I often kick them better than I usually do with Gilbert balls, and they are nice to run with. Don't have the same bounce as a Gilbert ball though.

 

[Bullitt]

Gilbert.

 

[USA_Rugby]

What exactly do you mean, sanzar? (I'm not clear on what you mean by 'following')I just like the Wallabies, that's all. The only reason I have 'USA' in my name is that I'm American.

 

[spacemanspiff]

im american, i started following the wallabies when i was in oz during rwc 2003

 

[raziel_eire]

the Heineken Cup ball... Webb Ellis... decent kicking distance with it, no real complaints

 

[kinkon89]

theres no steden up there!

ow well i like the gilbert

 

[el_tk]

Gilbert all the way, Summit is also acceptable, those Webb Ellis ones are weird though.

 

[Ireland's Call]

The Kooga yellow and black ball.

DOn't really like the shape,it's too rounded at the corners, but apart from that does the job.

 

[mark_shaw]

gilbert ball always , if its good enough for interantion fixtures its good enough for us,

 

[FitzOH]

I've just got a cheap canterbury of nz practice ball

 

[MCab]

I've been looking at gilbert balls, but I'm wondering if it's worth it buying the match grade balls as opposed to the practice balls. The big difference for me is kicking, I want a light ball that won't tear up my knee.

(edited b/c this isn't Jeopardy) So, in other words, is there big diff b/n Gilbert's match grade and practice balls?

Peace,
