Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between hand-stitched and machine-sewn volleyballs?
Hand-stitched volleyballs like the KOTB PRO-VL offer superior durability and performance compared to machine-sewn balls. The hand-stitching process creates stronger, more consistent seams that withstand the rigors of tournament professional beach volleyball play. Each stitch is carefully placed to ensure optimal panel alignment, resulting in better ball flight, more predictable bounce patterns, and longer-lasting construction. Inferior Machine-sewn volleyballs often have weaker seams that can separate under intense play conditions, becoming lopsided and useless.
How do I care for and maintain my synthetic leather beach volleyball?
To maximize the lifespan of your hand-stitched synthetic leather beach volleyball: (1) Keep it properly inflated to the recommended PSI to maintain shape and prevent panel stress, (2) Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, (3) Wipe off sand and moisture after each use with a soft cloth, (4) Avoid leaving it in hot cars or extreme temperatures, (5) Use a synthetic leather conditioner occasionally to keep the synthetic leather supple. With proper care, your KOTB PRO-VL can last for years of competitive play.
Is this volleyball suitable for indoor court use or only outdoor sand play?
The KOTB PRO-VL is specifically designed and optimized for outdoor beach volleyball and sand court play, but can be used anywhere. Sand, Grass, Snow and Concrete, this ball handles it all with grace. While it's technically possible to use it indoors, we recommend using indoor-specific volleyballs for gym floors. Beach volleyballs have different construction, weight distribution, and surface textures designed for outdoor conditions, wind resistance, moisture and sand court performance. For the best playing experience, use this ball on sand courts where it truly excels.
What makes the KOTB PRO-VL tournament-grade quality?
This volleyball meets official tournament specifications including regulation weight (280-290g), size (5), and construction standards used in most professional beach volleyball competitions. The hand-stitched synthetic leather panels, premium materials, and precise manufacturing process ensure consistent performance that meets the demands of competitive play. It's the same quality ball used and trusted by professional players, coaches and event organisers for over four decades in events like the King & Queen of the Beach®, Sportworx global Queen & King of the Court® events sanctioned by the FIVB, the US Open of Beach Volleyball, the Manhattan Beach Six Man (MBSixMan), the Corona Wide Open Tour, the AAU Queen & King of the Court® and boys and girls high School Championships, the Interscholastic Schools Federation (ISF) and the California Interscholastic Schools Federation (CIF) among others.
How long does a hand-stitched synthetic leather volleyball typically last?
With proper care and maintenance, a hand-stitched synthetic leather volleyball like the KOTB PRO-VL can last 2-5 years of regular recreational play, or 1-2 seasons of intensive tournament use. The longevity depends on frequency of use, playing conditions, storage practices, and maintenance. The hand-stitched construction significantly outlasts machine-sewn alternatives, making it a worthwhile investment for serious players.
Does this volleyball come inflated or require inflation?
The volleyball ships inflated for safe transport and to prevent damage during shipping. Once received, we suggest to inflate the ball to the recommended pressure (typically 2.5-3.5 PSI for beach volleyballs) using a standard ball pump with a needle adapter. We recommend using a pressure gauge to ensure optimal inflation for best performance and to protect the ball's construction.
What are the official weight and size specifications?
The KOTB PRO-VL weighs 280-290 grams (approximately 10.2 oz), which meets official beach volleyball regulations. The circumference is regulation size 5 for professional beach volleyball play. These specifications ensure the ball performs consistently in tournament conditions and provides the authentic feel that competitive players expect.
Is this the same volleyball used in professional King & Queen of the Beach® tournaments?
Yes! The KOTB PRO-VL is official tournament-grade quality and represents the same caliber of volleyball required for use in all sanctioned professional King & Queen of the Beach®, Queen & King of the Court® global competitions and Amateur Athletic Union Junior and High School Championship events. When you play with this ball, you're experiencing the same premium quality that professional beach volleyball players rely on for championship-level performance.
