The Rhino Spiral X Rugby Ball is a specialist kicking developer ball created in partnership with Rugby World Cup-winning kicking coach Dave Alred, whose players include Jonny Wilkinson, Johnny Sexton and Beauden Barrett. Two red coaching bands run across the ball to show exactly where the hands hold it and where the boot should make contact, turning a vague coaching cue into something a player can see and repeat.
Key Features
- Red Coaching Bands: visual guides for hand placement and strike point on the spiral kick.
- Developed with Dave Alred: built around the methodology of a World Cup-winning kicking coach.
- Match-Standard Construction: high-level build so technique transfers straight to matchday.
- Full Senior Size 5: the same size and weight profile as a senior match ball.
- Visible Flight Feedback: the banding makes rotation easy to read in the air.
Performance Overview
Spiral kicking is largely a problem of consistency: hold the ball at the same angle, strike the same spot, follow through the same way. The Spiral X gives kickers a reference they can check on every attempt. Held between the bands and angled towards one o'clock for a right-footed kicker, the ball shows immediately whether the strike was clean, because a true spiral makes the banding blur into a smooth rotation and a mishit does not.
Benefits
- Turns spiral kicking coaching into something visible rather than verbal.
- Instant feedback on rotation and contact quality without a coach watching.
- Match-standard weight and size means practice transfers directly to games.
- Useful for individual sessions as well as squad kicking practice.
