Our take on the Instant Griprite 1000

The Instant Griprite 1000 is a junior-size football built for small hands and backyard play. Its PVC shell and rubber bladder are the standard construction for recreational balls, so it holds air and takes knocks without the soft feel of a leather match ball. It suits kids learning to throw and catch rather than competitive kickers, and it sits alongside other junior PVC balls rather than above them. Buyers rate it highly, with most comments about grip and durability in casual use.

Questions and answers

Is this ball good for young beginners?
Yes. The junior size and textured PVC surface suit kids learning to throw, catch and kick. It is a recreational ball, not a match ball.
How does it compare with a leather football?
A leather ball feels softer and tackier, which helps touch and control. The PVC shell here is firmer and more scuff-resistant, which suits rough outdoor play.
Does it stay inflated?
The rubber bladder holds air well in normal use. Check the valve and top up with a pump if the ball starts to feel soft.
Can it be used on pavement?
The PVC shell handles pavement better than leather, though any ball scuffs on abrasive ground. Grass is the kinder surface.
What size is it?
It is a junior-size football, sized for younger players rather than adults.
