What can I say..... Mikasa has had long enough time to perfect the SKV5 and the SYV5..... and they haven't done anything (so much so that they haven't even brought into Australia the SYV5) except for the weights. Now enter the Molten V5C 2200. From looking at just the picture alone it is very close to a "normal" volleyball, which is what students want. Rather than a volleyball that is akin to a babies toy like the SKV5 looks like.
