Tachikara balls feature the company’s signature Single Unit Construction® with a quad-carbon isomer bladder that’s internally suspended within the ball. This innovative design significantly improves air retention, reducing the need for frequent inflation while maintaining consistent performance during extended play. The outer supportive dual bladder adds superior control and shape retention, ensuring the ball responds predictably during serves, passes, and attacks.
The institutional composite leather cover is specially engineered to withstand the rigors of repeated serves, bumps, sets, and spikes without compromising on feel. What makes this volleyball stand out is its woven cotton reinforcement panels that deliver a softer touch and more reliable contact, reducing sting on players’ arms while allowing for precise ball control. This balance of durability and comfort makes it particularly suitable for physical education classes, practices, and recreational matches.
The SV-18S is regulation size and weight, making it appropriate for official play while being economical enough for everyday use. While not typically used in high-level professional competitions (which often use premium leather volleyballs), this ball is a popular choice for school programs, recreational leagues, and training sessions due to its affordability and durability. The ball’s reliable performance characteristics make it an excellent practice ball that helps players develop proper techniques that transfer to competitive settings.
