Pros

Extremely light and controllable compared to the tachikara synthetic balls. Used many times a week in competitive recreation play. Just beginning to show wear with loosening flaps.

Price


The price was good made me happy


Fast shipping great price my favorite volleyball


A little pricey but good balls arent cheap


I was going to complain about the price but apparently its pretty standard for a volleyball

Amazon has a lenient return policy so you can always return it within 30 days if it still wont hold air

Competitiveness


Tachikara sv5w golds are my all time preferred balls for practice and games


Tachikara makes a lot of cheap balls but the 5w golds are the best ones


I was concerned i would receive an inferior ball like one of those cheaper composite leather tachikara balls but it is the real deal
