Description
Overview
The Gilbert Gripsure is a size 5 netball from the Gilbert range that puts grip ahead of everything else. Gilbert rates it 5 for grip, 4 for performance and 3 for durability, so it suits players who value ball control more than a long life on rough asphalt.
It sits between a basic trainer and a top match ball. For everyday PE classes on hard courts, a PVC ball such as the Avaro PVC Netball Trainer will take more punishment; choose the Gripsure when handling quality matters most.
Key benefits
- Cleaner catching under pressure thanks to the natural rubber grip surface.
- Lively rebound from the performance super bladder.
- Keeps its round shape over a season with 3 ply construction.
- Gilbert grip rating of 5 makes it a strong choice for skills sessions.
Who it's for
Secondary school teams, club players and coaches running passing drills where secure hands matter. The netball size guide places size 5 at ages 11 and up, so it covers intermediate, secondary and senior play.
Players aged 8 to 10 need a smaller ball; the Gilbert Spectra Size 4 is the better pick for them.

Care, safety and set-up
