Official Size 5 PU Leather Volleyball — 1-Pack Indoor/Outdoor Soft-Touch
Product description
What’s included: One regulation size 5 volleyball, a compact hand pump, a metal inflation pin and a mesh carrying bag for convenient storage and transport.
Size and use: The ball meets standard size 5 dimensions, roughly 8.2 inches (about 21 cm) in diameter, making it suitable for training sessions, school classes, recreational matches and beach play. It’s intended for both indoor and outdoor use and works well for beginners, kids and casual adult players.
Materials and construction: The outer cover is made of PU composite leather with an 18-panel sewn construction to deliver a soft, cushioned feel on contact. The interior features a butyl rubber bladder designed to hold air longer than cheaper bladders, helping preserve pressure between uses. Note: the ball is shipped deflated so you’ll need to inflate it before first use.
Feel and protection: The soft-touch surface cushions serves, passes and spikes, reducing sting on the forearms and hands—an advantage for players new to the sport and for school PE environments.
Recommended settings: Versatile for beaches, gymnasiums, poolsides, backyard games and training drills. The included pump and mesh bag make it easy to carry and keep the ball ready for practice or casual play.

Reliable starter ball for my college player
Bought this for my college-age son who recently joined a casual group. He said it’s true regulation size, pumped up easily with his electric inflator and kept pressure through several games. Bright colors help it stand out from older team balls.

Okay quality but awkward to inflate
Material feels acceptable, but getting the bladder and valve aligned was hard and made pumping difficult. It isn’t particularly soft or light.

Handy for home rehab
Works perfectly for my needs — using it for home physical therapy exercises for a back strain.

Good value and easy to inflate
Solid quality and more affordable than similar options I saw elsewhere. Pump inflates it without trouble; happy to recommend for casual players.

Plays well but needs frequent inflation
Good performance at first, but it tends to lose air faster than I expected. Not sure if it was user error or the valve, yet I appreciate that sand doesn’t cling in the seams.

Dog toy that didn’t last long
We purchased one as a play item for our dog. It was simple to inflate and looked round, but our 85 lb Rottweiler punctured it quickly and it lost most of its air. She still pushes it around, so it served as a short-term toy but isn’t rugged for strong chewers.

Keeps deflating after a few weeks
Initially felt good, but after a couple of weeks I had to reinflate it more and more. No visible tears, yet it becomes unusable within a day if left out. Wish the return option was still available.
