I've been an indoor player for years who's just starting to play beach. All the people I play with have this ball so decided to get my own. It's really slick out of the box and doesn't feel quite right (unlike all the Tachi's I've grown accustomed to playing with). But take it out on the beach, pound on it, and it plays great and is quite durable. Beware though there are a lot of cheap skates out there who will switch the AVP Replica Ball with the AVP Official Game Ball in stores so read the ball carefully before purchasing. If you're doing it here, no worries, mine came in a lot shorter anticipated time than expected. 5 stars

i am asking for my third of this ball for christmas. this is the ball the avp pro's use. its a little bigger than indoor and the older balls but easier to play with and softer. makes for fun games. the balls are pretty durable but like any ball, after using a lot in the sand and getting wet with water and sweat, it starts to act a little "dead" after a while (a good long while). i play most weekends and usually a weekday during summer months and i find a ball to be in "great" condition for about 2 years. 5 stars

The Wilson AVP ball was brand new and what i expected. It was nice not to have to pay shipping and the ball was at my house within a few days. I would definitely purchase another ball through amazon. 5 stars
