MoltenFlistatec Classic IV5F-3 Volleyball

I bought this as a gift. The recipient said it is a great volleyball.

Ordered these for practice balls and very happy with them.

I absolutely love this ball. It has a great bounce and feel to it especially when you’re a setter. One of my balls has a tiny leak but it could be that I didn’t wet the pump needle enough but I will never go back to the other Moltens even though I love them too.

I'm a longtime Pro/Super Touch fan (along with the Tachi golds). I learned how to play on real leather balls, and like how they pass. They're also great in that you can adjust inflation levels easily to make passing easier or harder. I haven't really been enjoying the newer vballs like the Mikasa MVA200 (hard to pass, can get wet making setting hard), Tachi Six (also bounces very different from old school volleyballs), and standard Flistatec (feels bigger, heavier, and dense). They also don't adjust to underinflation as nicely as real leather vballs. The Baden V-Cor and Tachi 5W-Prime are decent and don't need break in, but still feel a bit dense and heavy, and not quite as grippy. So I kept searching for a new generation volleyball that I would like. I love this ball. This volleyball has also gotten very positive feedback from a variety of level of players that I play with, from beginners to current collegiate males. It feels relatively light and soft (and less dense) compared to some of the newer balls, feels like it's traditional size, and has great grip for setting. It passes very similar to older generation leather balls. Most importantly, it requires NO BREAK IN period.Waiting for some good sales (got mine for <$40) to tell friends to get this since I'm planning on playing on grass with them and it'd be nice to have a bag full of balls so we don't have to go chasing the one good ball all over the park.I would recommend this for all level of players, and also those who like the old school balls but want to transition to the new era.

This ball is very soft and light. I was very happy with it. But after having for it for around ten months. It started leaking air in Sep. ( purchased at the end of Nov. 2021. Now each time before I use this volleyball I have to pump the air in. I was so excited to have the ball at the beginning, but now I'm very disappointed!

This is a decent ball but lacks the pop and bounce of the flistatec v5m5000 or what I like to call the swirly ball. Couldn’t find the 5000 anywhere, all on back order, so opted for this one since the surface grip is the same. It’s a decent ball, can get a mean floater serve but otherwise feels like a lesser quality ball. Will work for warm ups but wouldn’t play a match with this ball.

I love playing with Molten's Flistatec volleyballs. The texture promotes good aerodynamics for curving serves and top-spin attacks. The grippy, rubber-like skin reduces slip and improves marginal sets, and provides more control and power on attacks.It's a great ball.

very good price however the shipping was delay and missed the expected delivery date.
