Molten Volley Ball

I play indoor volleyball 3-4 times a week, and I've played with different kinds of volleyballs. This one is, by far, the best volleyball I have ever played with. I know that sounds like a gross exaggeration, but no other ball in the world can compare to this! It only took 2-3 games to break it in, which is much shorter than previous new balls I've used. The grip on this ball is amazing, and it's perfect for setting. I find that some volleyballs are slippery and difficult to grip properly (Mikasa brand balls are like that). This would be a great ball for someone who's learning how to set. Even the people on my team who aren't good setters say that their sets are better when they use this. The grip also makes it easy to overhand serve the ball. It's gotten to the point that I can't serve well with other balls because I'm so used to the amazing grip on this one. This ball is harder than most of the ones I've used, which means that spikes and hits come down on the other side of the court extremely fast. If you want a soft ball, then this is definitely not for you. You may want to try something like Molten's Super Touch. I personally don't mind the hardness. One minor issue I have with this ball is that it's very bouncy. When I first started passing with this, it went higher than most volleyballs I've used. Because of this, you definitely have to be mindful of how you pass the ball and make sure that your ball control is on point. Although I recommend this for beginning setters, I don't recommend this for beginning passers because of the bounciness. An experienced player can adjust to the ball's bounciness, but beginners probably won't be able to. Mikasa's MVA200 is a good ball for beginning passers. However, the bounciness still doesn't take away from the other amazing qualities this ball has. I can't comment on the longevity since I've only owned it for a few weeks, but my friends who own this ball say that they've had it for years and haven't had any major issues with it. I'll update my review in a few months and comment on the condition of the ball. Mine came deflated, which wasn't too much of a problem because I own a pump. However, in the future, Amazon, please don't deflate balls before shipping them! Edit on October 19, 2015 - I've owned this for almost a year, and it's still holding up strong! It's much dirtier than it was when I first bought it, but that's not surprising since I use it multiple times a week. I like that I don't have to pump air into it frequently - I've only inflated it 3 times since buying it. Definitely worth purchasing if you play intermediate or advanced level volleyball.

Great quality my Goddaughter was very pleased with this purchase.

This is the new ball for NCAA and USAV Adult volleyball. I like it a lot. I'll compare it to the pro touch since that is what this ball is replacing. It has a more... plush outer layer that does a couple things different. It is more tacky, making setting a lot easier than the sometimes slippery pro touch. It is less bouncy. When passing, you'll need to give it a little extra push. It tends to 'die' on the arms a little bit. Not a bad thing, just an adjustment. That bouncy thing again. It doesn't hit as hard. It won't fly off of your hand like the pro touch will. Because of the outer surface and the way it bounces, you tend to gain a little more control when hitting . With the tacky surface and the reluctance to rebound off of your hand when you swing, your contact time with the ball seems longer. This makes swinging shots (like roll shots, cut shots) a little easier to do. You can put more spin on the ball. When I pepper with this ball, it tends to hurt a little more. I think that because it doesn't rebound off a surface as well, it is transfering more energy into your body (arms). I also find that I need a 'stronger' passing platform (vs. beach) because the ball wants to push part of your platform down. Keep your arms more rigid. The red and blue ball is the same as the green one that this review is on.

Buen producto

This is a good ball for indoor play. The fit isn't exact so there are gaps between adhesive shell layers but still one of the better balls out there.

Feels amazing i love it

Amazing volleyball!

Très bon produit, qualité Molten au rdv.

Best quality my kids loved it

Der Ball hat Grip und lässt sich super spielen. Nachdem er mit Luft gefüllt wurde, war er rund, wie ein Kugel! Kein Ei! Wortspielen jetzt zum vierten Mal im Training mit dem. All. Alles perfekt. Lieferzeit war okay. Könnte einen Ticken schneller sein, aber noch im Rahmen.

Toucher au top , très apprécié par nos membres merci

Ho acquistato questo pallone per allenarmi sul palleggio e l’ho trovato perfetto come quelli che usavo durante allenamento. È un pallone stupendo a differenza di quello della mikasa non scivola è più semplice da controllare quando fai il palleggio. A mio parere il pallone della Molten è più preferito dai palleggi per il tocco soffice e morbido, anche quello della Mikasa non è male ma se devo scegliere scelgo Molten. L’aquisto di questo pallone secondo me è stata una scelta intelligente che non me ne pentirò
