The Gilbert A-XV is designed with cost and durability in mind. The A-XV features a Hydratec barrier, a technical fabric that utilizes a water resistant lamination to protect the ball from the elements by repelling dirt and water. The WRS A-XV comes in size 3 (Recommended for ages 7-10), size 4 (ages 11-13), and size 5 (ages 14-Senior). The A-XV grip is standard rubber dimples evenly distributed at a uniform height throughout the ball to ensure maximum comfort.
