Mikasa 10 ball set Beach Pro BV550C ÖVV

With decades of expertise from extensive research and development, MIKASA has utilized feedback from the world's best players and coaches to develop a new beach volleyball that is based on state-of-the-art and environmentally friendly technology.

The new ball, officially named Beach Pro BV550C, features a construction of 10 perfectly balanced panel pieces and a double-layer textile carcass on a double-layer "NoLeak" butyl rubber bladder.

The color contrast of the Tricolor combination ensures excellent and improved visibility. In addition to these visual innovations, MIKASA also introduces the proven Dimple technology, known from indoor volleyball, for the first time in beach volleyball with the BV550C.

The many small indentations (dimples) on the surface material not only enhance grip but also provide maximum and sensitive ball control. The patented and unique TwinSTLock seam technology has been improved so that the BV550C is now nearly waterproof. This aims to eliminate any weight gain of the ball in the rain.

To further enhance the durability and airtightness of the ball, a new valve shape has been developed. This is designed to prevent the ingress of micro-sand into the air needle socket and to avoid damage to the valve core. MIKASA has also placed great emphasis on sustainability in the choice of materials. The surface material is a high-quality synthetic leather made from recycled nylon. Additionally, no solvent-based paints are used.

The Beach Pro BV550C carries the designation "FIVB Official Game Ball," making it the official game ball of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) and Volleyball World (VW).
