The Dunlop Elite has been hand-stitched and this size 5 is ideal for club, school, and junior rugby.The Dunlop Match Ball features a Truflight Valve, a unique valve shape and placement that redistributes weight along the seams of the ball to improve rotational stability, resulting in greater accuracy on passes and more control in the kicking game. The standard Dunlop grip with round pimples evenly distributed at a uniform height make the Dunlop Elite a comfortable and predictable ball. 3 ply poly-cotton and cotton laminate panel means that the ball will weigh slightly more. The ball will perform better on longer kicks and passes, and generally hold its shape better than a ball of 2 ply construction.
