I bought the yellow and pink balls. I have twin toddlers, so I wanted something "soft" yet cute for them to play with when we go to the sand. The colors look great, the ball looks like its made of good construction, but I'm disappointed in the feel. I know its synthetic leather, but still, the NAME of the ball is "soft play". The ball came inflated and in a box (like you would buy from a retailer.) I may deflate it to see if that helps some.

I also own Wilson AVP Official International Game Ball Volleyball. Its pricier, but if you can save up, the ball feels so nice to the touch. I'm an adult and play with this ball - it would be great for teenagers at least. I also just purchased Mikasa Starter One 5.5 Ounce Volleyball and I really like that for toddlers and little ones. It is a softer feel, light weight and has a nice rebound. I feel that touch is important when kids are learning to play. If their arms hurt, then they will likely not want to play as often.

I wished I would have bought the Mikasa ball first. I'm disappointed in this ball and do not recommend it unless you are not that serious about volleyball, like the colors, or you need to stick to this price point.

My background: indoor/outdoor player and usav club coach

this is the type of ball u use in games so it is perfect and does not hurt ur wrists

This ball hurts, but I knew that when I ordered this ball. If you're practicing on concrete wall, the ball will hold. In fact, I just came back from an hour of Setting, Spiking, and bumping the ball against an school's concrete wall. I punctured the ball down a bit in the ball, but it still works like new. It's not a huge puncture, only a millimeter or so diameter. Overall, I like it.

i hav the light blue one they say soft play but they r hard with in 5min your arms hurt from hitting it

I got this volley ball for my 7 and 9 year old gilrs to play and learn with. When we got the ball it seemed ok, a little hard but I thought that would improve over time. After we had played with it for a few weeks, it was not improving. I would not recomend this volleyball. It is a great price, but not the best to play with.

They aren't supposed to be soft. The indoor version is much softer. I have played with a Wilson SoftPlay indoor ball, but I don't see one on Amazon. The Molten MS-500-N Ultra Soft NCAA Recreational Volleyball may also be a good choice for people looking for a good soft vball

Actually its down right HARD. Sheesh, I only kept it because its cool color. I even tried letting out some air, but no dice. Buy a regular ball instead.

This volleyball is a nice ball and looks to be up to Wilson's standard of quality, plus esportsonline or amazon got this product to us really quick. Good Job and Thanks.

The order arrived before the due date and was in excellent condition.
My kids were more than happy to have this ball before the expected delivery date.

Thanks for such great service.
