Baden Lexum Composite Game Volleyball

I had played using recreational high school and college Wilson volleyballs, but after using this Baden, I will always bring my own to the gym. The ball, as other reviewers have suggested, is extremely soft on the outside. It doesn't need to be broken in whatsoever.I managed to get one on amazon for less than $25 and at that price, it's a steal. I would easily pay 35-40 dollars for another one with no regrets. That being said, I don't think I'll need another one soon. Mine has been exclusively used for summer outside volleyball, in grass and sand, and has hit pine trees at full speed. It's a little dirty but there are no signs of wear after 10 or so very abusive 3 hour++ days of play. Definitely recommend, even at the current prices.

I am not a Pro. I have been playing volleyball for 4 months. So take this as it comes.I bought this ball to have my own, so my team would not be held up by using the league balls to practice. This ball is a size smaller than the Wilson (AVP aprroved) balls the league uses. It looks nice, but its pretty hard. It will take a lot of work to get it soft. Its made for the Dominican Republic standards. I bought it because it was different and easy to pick out among all of the Wilson balls. But due to it being a size too small and its so hard no one wants to use it... I broke down and bought a Wilson. Its more expensive, but I know it will be correct.
