Mikasa Squish No-Sting Pillow Cover Volleyball

I read some reviews on here saying things like if you hit the ball hard it will go flying across the beach and it's a junky supermarket quality rubber ball with a padded cover. These are very unfair comments, it does just what it says in the description. If you're looking for a hard official regulation volleyball, look elsewhere this isn't your product. I bought it strictly for pool volleyball. It is great, it doesn't get any better than this. It clearly says waterproof and great for the pool right on it. I don't think many of the low rating people actually read the product description. I didn't buy this expecting to get a regulation volleyball because you do not want to play pool volleyball with a regulation ball, do you know how uncomfortable that would be? In fact, if I'm playing 1on1 or 2on2 I will not even use this ball I go for a lighter one, I use this one for larger groups. This is a waterproof, no sting volleyball. Yes, it is a little lighter than a regulation ball and made of different materials. It is not light like the balls you buy in the supermarket like someone suggested. It is much heavier and higher quality than them. For those of you that may not know, this is a brand that the professionals use. I play pool volleyball almost every day and this is my go to ball. I couldn't picture anything better. If I was going to play volleyball in the grass, beach/sand, or gym I would obviously not use a pool volleyball just like I wouldn't use a football to play basketball. Bottom line is, if you are looking for a regulation ball to play actual volleyball with, this isn't the ball for you. If you're looking for either a pool volleyball or something lighter to just casually hit around with no sting, this is the perfect ball for you. The only thing that I was upset about is after ordering it on Amazon for $20.00 I found it on Mikasa's direct website for $15.00.

We got this ball as a starter ball for our 7 year old daughter. I like the pillow cover, however I can see over time it may not last - you can see the pillow sections covering the ball. Overall I would recommend it ... good product and price!

We've now had this ball for a few weeks and have been very happy to how it has held up to our six kids, multiple pool trips, and roughousing. I can't comment on how this compares to professional-level balls but for casual use it is an excellent choice.

Its very easy on the hands and wrists. Definately not a regulation volley ball. Its perfect for the casual use we bought it for. A day at the park with friends bouncing the ball back and forth. I dont think that its cheaply made. Its just as advertised. We are happy with it.

I saw reviews that this was a cheap rubber ball, it definitely is not. We've played some water volleyball with it and the weight and soft feel is just right imo.

This ball is great. It reduces the sting but does not eliminate it. Please note that the "red" ball is more of a pink color.

Doesn't hold water, so not "squish" in that sense. Love playing pool volleyball with this ball. Arrived already inflated and ready for use.

love this soft soft high performing ball. great . highly recommended especially for young players who dont want to sting!
