## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True to picture
*by S***V on January 8, 2026*

Great grip. Quality. Boys loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun
*by L***7 on December 4, 2025*

Lots of fun for my grandsons!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun Design and Great Performance in Dry Conditions!
*by P***N on October 30, 2024*

This Gilbert Watermelon Rugby Ball is a hit with everyone on the pitch – the unique design always gets compliments, and it adds some fun to our practices. The rubber material performs really well in dry conditions, offering a good grip and control. However, when it gets wet, it can become a bit slick compared to traditional leather balls, so it’s best suited for drier days. Overall, it’s a quality ball with a playful look, and I’d recommend it for training sessions or casual games!
