Tachikara SV-5WSC

No, this ball is specifically designed for indoor use. The Sensi-Tec micro-fiber composite leather is optimized for indoor court surfaces and will degrade quickly if used on asphalt or concrete.

The loose bladder construction allows the bladder to move independently from the cover, which helps the ball maintain a more stable and predictable flight path. It also contributes to the softer feel upon contact, reducing the sting often associated with harder volleyballs.

Yes, the SV-5WSC is NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations) approved, meaning it meets the strict standards required for official high school competitive play.

The resin-fused fiber cover provides a consistent, uniform touch that feels softer and more forgiving than traditional leather. It is designed to offer a reliable grip and a 'true' feel, which helps with ball control during sets and serves.

While it feels soft right out of the box due to the Sensi-Tec material, the ball will soften slightly and become more responsive after a few practice sessions. It does not require an extensive break-in period like some traditional leather balls.
