NetJuggler's opinion on this balloon:

This ball is really great for head bouncing as well as for spinning, there's more than the GRS in life! On the other hand, juggling friends: the GRS is a source of inspiration for a lot of manipulations and ball throwing, these are two worlds apart that deserve to meet a little more! GRS enthusiasts, come and do open scenes in a juggling convention and/or exchange tricks with the jugglers. In addition, juggling conventions are festive and jugglers are also able to spend hours manipulating balls, we have more things in common than we think.

If you look closely in the reflection on the left of the ball, you can see Helen from management/accounting who has come to lend her hand for the photos! By buying this balloon you will see your own reflection, not Helen's.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, this competition GRS ball is the ideal accessory to accompany you in your training and competitions.

What pressure for your GRS balloon?

To inflate a rhythmic gymnastics ball, here are some steps to follow:

• Wet the needle (not included) and balloon port before insertion.
• Insert the needle perpendicular to the surface of the ball to avoid structural damage and meet specifications.
• Make sure the ball is not over-inflated or under-inflated. The ideal pressure is between 180 and 200 mm/0 or 4 to 5 psi.
• Insert and remove the needle gently, avoiding sudden movements.

Ideas for exercises to do with a GRS ball:

• As a dance prop for artistic performances.
• As a toy for children who like to play throwing and catching balls.
• In juggling, it can also be used for spinning.
• Balance on the head while juggling. It's especially really good for bouncing the ball on the head. We're making another smaller and lighter model that hurts your neck a little less otherwise.
• In physical preparation, to work on strength and mobility. The size is interesting, a tennis ball will be too small and a pilates ball (push ball) will be too big.
• Stretching with the ball: Sit on the ball and roll slowly back and forth to stretch the muscles of the back and legs.
• Coordination: Training with a GRS ball can help improve coordination and balance, by working on the synchronization of movements of the body and hands.
• The ball can be used to improve flexibility, working on stretches and artistic tricks that require flexibility.
• Synchronization drills: practice working as a team by performing synchronized movements, throwing and catching the ball at the same time.

IGF standard in GRS competition:

For a ball, the IGF standard for GRS competitions requires a ball whose diameter is between 18cm and 20cm and whose mass is at least 400g.

In the interest of the gymnasts, it is recommended to apply the FIG standards as soon as possible.
