Pros & Cons
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.
Sheesh, it's just a ball you * around. Best ball. Always preferred in leagues and rec play.
Soft touch and very playable. Starts a little on the hard side, but softens with use. Great feel, weight, softness.

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
Shipping
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
