The Duragrip finish is the headline: it keeps handling predictable in the damp, and because the grip is moulded into a blended rubber surface rather than a soft laminate, it lasts through repeated use on tarmac and outdoor macadam courts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ball that keeps its grip is a ball that keeps sessions sharp. Players spend less time chasing dropped passes, coaches spend less budget replacing stock mid-season, and a single ball can move between Tuesday training and Saturday fixtures without feeling like a compromise in either setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGilbert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhoenix Match\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetball\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLevel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatch ball for schools and clubs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlended rubber with Duragrip texture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBladder\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarcass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNylon wound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmbossed traditional seam lines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize 4 and size 5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\/Teal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Central Sports?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ 100% Genuine \u0026amp; Authorised Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🏐 Trusted UK Netball Equipment Specialists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📦 Secure Packaging \u0026amp; Fast Processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🤝 Reliable Customer Support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🆕 Access to Latest Releases \u0026amp; Collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFinal Verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor outdoor courts and mixed match-and-training duty, the Gilbert Phoenix is the sensible buy.
