We are a small volleyball Freizeitsportverein and got ourselves in a few weeks ago 2 of the Mikasa VSV 800 training balls and have been very pleased by the quality, the design and the way of playing. Here the price / performance ratio. The surface of the VSV 800 is indeed but a bit soft so very handy. This can be in the hall playing wonderful - ... of course when you're producing the right pressure in the ball, so definitely not inflate too strong (hard and painful at play); the right dose is crucial, so always have a pump on board during the game and test the optimal ball pressure. Particularly our women on the team are delighted with the ball, because he can play very well and with less red spots on the arms. On what to watch out that at the match venue (hall) near the playfield so no sharp edges or corners are, as rub the soft surface of the ball in contact with this thinking but faster than you. Clear a few scuff marks, the balls already received in the course of time, this is normal and when the balls a little bit makes sure not to use strange (eg as football!) Then you will last a lifetime with you.
Conclusion: Recommended as training ball for a non-professional playing recreational team very - especially for the hall - outdoor ... we have not tested it, but we have other balls. So buy recommendation with full 5 stars. By the way do you get the balls in different colors (red / yellow - blue / yellow - green / yellow), because you have to look for something on the Internet if one is not quite as happy with the color combination offered here.
