Gilbert Men's Reflex Rugby Catch Trainer, Size 5

My 14 yr old loves this product . It was bought for him to practice passing off his non dominant hand , after reading a review i bought it. perfect buy , he loves mucking around inside as much as out and nothing gets knocked over. little drop kicks come back to him. Great if the user has quick reactions and looking to improve skills in this area.

This was purchased as a present for a friend of my son who had an injury and so was not able to attend rugby training. The feedback I have had back on this training ball is that it does allow you to practice passing by yourself, that it is easy to use but that they were unable to spin the ball as part of the pass.

I bought this for my grandson who initially found it hard to control so didn't use it very much. However since then he has rediscovered it and it is now a constant companion as he practices his spin passes and catches. Recommend as long as you stick with it.

The elastic on this product is much less stretchy than I imagined, so the ball generally comes back somewhere near your body core - I had anticipated that it would be more random and more difficult to catch.However, the reason rated this as "5 star- I love it" is that it really increases the number of passes that you can make in a short space of time - I've probably made more passes off my weaker hand in 15 minutes than I made in the whole of last season! The reflex element comes into play for me in getting the hands ready on the ball during the wind up for the next pass.Both of my boys are loving this as part of a daily routine which will undoubtedly lead to us all being equally comfortable passing with either hand.

Purchased reflex ball so that my son could practise his pass and catch. He quickly got to grips with the technique but on only the second occasion of training with it the cord snapped on the wrist strap and had started to split by the ball clip. Great concept but really disappointed in the quality. Now I have to return the ball at my own cost in order to get a refund.

Love this item. Great for improving passing strength and catching reactions.

it is an awsome ball if you are a beginer. it really trains reflects and at the same time i can concentrate on my passing skills. the straps are at a good length and with the type of "hook" you can do any type of pass. but i can not give it a five start because after 2 uses the wrist support started to break where the straps are attached. they are of poor quality. that is why the 3 star

Seems to be good enough quality as would be expected from a Gilbert product. I would have given 5 stars if it had could with the little needle adaptor required to pump the ball up. This would have cost very little to add and would have been a nice finishing touch.
