Flistatec: this is the name of the microfiber coating with a honeycomb structure that dresses the V5M5000, an FIVB-approved competition ball, leading the way in the Black Friday balls Molten.
V5M4500, V5M4000, training balls, lighter models for young players, and beach-volley balls complete the selection, available individually or in sets for clubs.
The V5M5000 combines Flistatec cover, a nylon carcass, a butyl bladder, and 18 bonded panels. It is FIVB approved and is used indoors, on wooden floors or synthetic flooring.
The V5M4500 features a microfibre PU cover, nylon carcass, butyl bladder, and 18 bonded panels, suitable for club matches. The V5M4000 is the entry-level match ball from Molten, with a very soft PU cover. Both can be used on wooden floors or indoor surfaces. The V5M4500 is sold uninflated: make sure to get a pump.
The V5M3500 is a training ball made of PU, designed for both gym and outdoor play. For younger players, Molten offers junior balls: the V5M2000-L, lightweight and ideal for beginners, and the V5M2501-L, with an extra soft touch for the forearms. The V5C1400-L completes this part of the range.
On sand, the V5B5000, FIVB certified, is made for regular use and withstands sand and moisture. The V5B1500 and V58R round out the offering. The V5B1300, machine-stitched PVC with a butyl bladder that retains pressure, is more leisure-oriented: perfect for camping, in the garden, or at the beach.
The V5M5000, V5M4500, V5M4000, V5M3500, lightweight balls, and several beach balls are available in sets. Keep competition balls for matches, use lightweight balls suitable for young players, and your stock of balls will last several seasons.
The balls Mikasa are the official balls of the FIVB international competitions, and the balls Wilson supply professional beach-volley in the United States. Find all the brands on the Black Friday balls page, and sand equipment on the Black Friday beach page. The special ball offers remain open once the event is over.
The V5M5000 is available individually and in sets on this page. A club looking to replace all its match balls at once should consider the sets. Filter by category to separate indoor balls and beach balls.
In both volley and beach-volley, men and women use the same official ball; only the height of the net differs. The mention of women on a product sheet doesn’t change any regulations: check the sheet if you are looking for a specific weight or size.
Reserve it for matches and key training sessions, use it only indoors, and wipe it after use. A match ball used outside or against a wall quickly loses its cover quality.
Every ball loses some air over time, even with a butyl bladder, which holds pressure better than a latex bladder. Check the pressure before each session. If it deflates within a few hours, the valve is likely damaged.
Choose a lightweight ball, softer on the children’s forearms, and keep the same model for the whole group. Training ball sets are designed for this type of use.
