Test Grade 5 Layer White Ball

The Test Grade 5 Layer White Ball is the premium white leather ball in the Crystal Sports range — a five-layer wound construction that delivers the hardest, most symmetrical and most durable ball available in the lineup. It is the right choice for higher-grade league cricket, representative fixtures and any match where a ball that performs consistently for a full innings is required.

Five-layer winding builds a progressively denser and more symmetrical core than 2 layer or League Special construction. The result is a ball that stays harder for longer, swings more predictably as it ages, and holds its seam in a consistent raised position throughout. Bowlers working with a properly constructed 5 layer ball will find the seam position and swing behaviour remain reliable well past the first ten overs — something that matters significantly in 40-over and first-class formats.

The white leather exterior is finished to match the standard of day-night and limited-overs cricket at the highest club and representative level. At £14.99 it is the top of the Crystal Sports white ball range. If you need a ball for regular club T20 at a lower cost, the Test Grade 2 Layer or League Special are also available.
