Robin MacDowell, former Rugby Canada international player and 7's coach, has joined Gilbert to develop a rugby ball that will improve the rugby player's kicking game.
Featuring a Truflight valve, a unique valve shape and placement that redistributes weight along the seams of the ball to improve rotational stability and improve accuracy in the kicking game. A 3-layer poly-cotton and cotton laminate panel means the ball will weigh a little more. The ball will perform better on longer kicks and passes and generally retain its shape better than a ball of 2-ply construction.
The design includes a target for the ideal spot to hit and inscriptions that reflect MacDowell's vision, reminding players to smile, dream, believe and succeed. It also contains cues to hit your target, such as 'Target, Trajectory, Breath, Head Down, Ideal Spot'.
This ball is part of MacDowell's goal to grow the sport of rugby. He strives to develop untapped talent and inspire young players to 'Dream. Believe. Succeed.' His vision is to develop athletes on and off the field by giving them the tools to support their academic, athletic and life goals.
