4.0 out of 5 stars Best Indoor Volleyball Made, December 6, 2007

I've been playing volleyball for 30 years and coaching for 20 years. The moment I was introduced to the Tach SV5W there was no turning back. It is the best volleyball made for serious volleyball players. Until two years ago it would have been a 5-star ball but the SV-5WC (color) balls have been hit and miss. Of 12 new balls I had to return 2 due to defects. Tachikara has a great return policy but one ball, after 3 returns, never was quite right.
But it's not stopping me from ordering 12 more this season!

I received the ball and immediately took it to our open gym volleyball sessions. It is the ball we always use now since everyone really likes it. It is soft to the touch and yet still allows for thunderous hits! In addition, the multi color ball makes it much easier to see and follow, especially when it is up in the lights.

Overall, this is a terrific ball!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best ball, but lifespan issues, December 28, 2007

I've played with a lot of voleyballs, and the SV-5W gold is the best one. Better than any of the Molten balls. I've played long enough to know that I like a ball that goes "ka-chung!" when I hit it, but that won't feel like a raquetball when I hold it and won't leave strawberries on my arms from passing even gentle free balls (hello, Molten pro touch). The SV-5W gold is a great, great ball that fits the bill; everyone can agree on it, even ultra-brand-conscious twenty-year-old club players.

There is one problem: I have had to buy a new one of these each of the last three years, because near the end of the indoor season, or in the beginning of the next season, panels start to come off the ball and/or bulges develop when the bladder comes out like a hernia. I don't mind because $45 a year isn't a bad cost for a great playing volleyball (I'm a one-volleyball-at-a-time guy), but keep in mind that you won't build up a supply of old SV-5W golds for club practice.
