The ball itself has a good feel to it. In fact it does not feel cheap at all. I am sure this ball will last for many years, which is good as I have two more daughters who will most likely play the sport.
I do have one complaint and it is not the manufacturer's fault but Amazon's shipping. The ball was sent to us slightly deflated and stuffed in a box. Because of this two sides of the vball have circular lines permanently in the ball. We actually requested Amazon to ship us a new one and we sent the old one back. Again, we received a ball stuffed in a box with circular lines in the leather. Inflating and time does not remove them either. I am giving the ball five stars because it is a great vball. I would give Amazon and how they shipped the volleyball 0 stars if I could. I have included photos so you can see for yourself the lines which are permanently indented into the ball.
I would recommend this ball for any setter, or even a vball player in general, as it is a great tool to increase the strength of the player. I am not sure though if Amazon is the seller to purchase it from as they should ship it fully inflated.
Again, this is a great volleyball for anyone who wishes to improve in setting.

PS—Can we address something on almost every volleyball review? Basically, NFHS, USAV, and NCAA require balls to be between 4.3 psi and 4.6. While that number drops for beach volleyballs, it doesn’t really matter. As a referee, I have never measured the PSI of any ball that met the required specifications before a match. Most balls lose pressure. Some balls gain pressure if exposed to extreme heat. The most common complaint I read in reviews is that a ball didn’t come inflated. The idea that a ball will should come inflated is ridiculous, especially when it comes to meeting the required specifications of inflation. Buy a cheap pump and meter. You’ll need it—even if your ball comes inflated to the correct pressure. While I have received maybe one ball out of hundreds that was warped once inflated, that was an anomaly. Expecting a volleyball you ordered through the mail be inflated to its specifications is like ordering an above-ground-pool kit you expect to come filled with water.
