Wilson OPTX AVP Official Beach Volleyball

To begin with, this ball was incredibly overinflated when it was shipped. You should inflate the ball between 2 and 3 inches high according to the instructions on the ball. The numbers 3 and 5 are combined. Its pressure is not more than 2 pounds per square inch. As soon as I received mine, it was hard as a rock, so I tested it with 2 different gauges. There was a difference of over 5 psi between them. Though it wasn't a problem, I just let half of the air out until it started to follow the specs. AVP has been one of my favorite balls for the past 3 years and I must confess that I am a little disappointed with this version. My favorite ball has always been the Official AVP ball, but I think its quality has diminished. I used my new ball for the first time in a game of sand volleyball a couple of weeks ago. During the course of two matches, there were 12 areas on the ball where the black print had worn through to show two photos. ObjectX (the two images in the picture with the previous version show what my Optx ball looks like after a season when compared to my previous ball after four By the end of the season, not only is the ink worn entirely through the ball, but there are 11 spots on the ball (5th picture closer up. The ball I have been using for four years only has two To me, it almost seems as if they deliberately lowered the quality to make money at the expense of their customers However, there is one thing I will mention. Although the ball does not seem to have the same "feel" as the previous ones, it still appears to be of high quality. The older AVP balls have a similar feel to this newer one, so you will probably like it It is very consistent how they recreated that feel.

Then and now In July 2020, the item was purchased. The ball held air well for the short period that it was held. Approximately three months after receiving it, it began losing air and now is unable to hold it. This video shows how to do so. A leak appears to be occurring in the seams. The only way to use this is with sand.

Update A digital coupon from the manufacturer, Wilson, for the amount of my Amazon purchase was sent to me. It was easy to get my ball exchanged, although my exact item was sold out. Therefore, I got a similar ball, the indoor.

The Wilson OPTX AVP volleyballs that I bought in August 2020 are Wilson OPTX OPTX AVP volleyballs. It is a great volleyball in terms of durability and long-term performance. It's hard to say for sure for how long they hold air, but I can tell you that one of the balls has already deflated. It has been two months since I began using the balls, and none of them have been used outside of how they were intended. Assuming the balls come from an unauthorized manufacturer, I'm beginning to believe the seller gets them from an unlicensed supplier. My reason for saying this is because I also purchased several Spalding King of the Beach volleyballs from these same suppliers, and they don't There needs to be a new supplier for the seller.

My favorite ball is a flat red one rippled on one end. I bought it after playing too many seasons of bar league volleyball with ripped balls. It is the best ball I've ever had. A few of us began buying and bringing our own balls, and the bar finally took notice and purchased the same ones to replace all their existing ones. It will take a bit of time for this ball to break This ball was too hard to play with during the first few months, according to a number of people. It takes a few rounds in the dryer and a few rounds in the rinse cycle for the ball to soften.

In this summer, I only play twice a week and it barely lasted. There is a constant wear and tear on the graphics. In addition, it is tough to see the yellow ball at night when we play- In most cases, we switch between a blue/white ball known as the Molten and a King of the Beach ball. This isn't worth $65 to me, especially in this kind of condition.

The person receiving the gift I purchased this ball for was disappointed to find out it was warped when it was unboxed. There have been a number of volleyball players I see buying these new Wilson Watch out for these balls and inspect them.

Can a ball be a successful AVP? In addition to the official V-card, I also paid for Where's the ball? It was not up to the competition games standard in terms of value for my money! A ball that kept getting low and bouncing, but did not hold up on durability Over the course of the game, the opposition became softer. Has the official AVP been sent to me? The AVP was not a representative of the organization! *Peaked too early during the competition and lost its firmness.

Only mentioning that the product was an AVP OPTX ball was in the product description. The ball I received was definitely a replica and not the real thing. The hard to find ball you see here is pleasantly surprising since I know it is quite hard to buy a real ball at the moment. In truth, that is not an encouraging sign, especially with how quickly that package arrived. In normal circumstances, this is a good thing, however, in this particular case, it was an indication that it was.
