Molten beach-volley: sand balls
Molten, known for its competition indoor balls, applies a different recipe for the sand: softer balls, with a smooth touch, and a construction tailored to the use, from tournaments to the beach.
Its beach brand page brings together its V5B range, its school ball and its packs.
Molten V5B: competition or leisure, two constructions
The brand's beach range is split between two families. On one side, regular play balls like the V5B5000, FIVB certified, marketed as a women's beach ball, and the V5B1500. On the other side, the V5B1300, stitched in PVC, which prioritizes durability for leisure.
Breizh, a Breton nod
The V5B1300 comes in a Breizh edition, in the colours of Brittany. Its butyl bladder maintains pressure from one match to another, and its stitched cover withstands games on the beach, at camping sites or in the garden.
School Master and V58R: class and free play
The red, white, and blue School Master is meant for school. The white and black V58R is added for free play on the sand.
Molten in lots for a beach section
The V5B5000, V5B1500, and V5B1300 are available in lots, so a beach section or holiday club can equip its area with identical balls.
Wilson, Mikasa, Sand Socks: Molten's neighbours on the sand
The page Wilson beach offers the OPTX AVP from the American circuit, the page Mikasa beach showcases its balls and sand clothing, and Sand Socks features its beach socks. All can be found in the beach brands. For a cheaper Molten, check out the Black Friday beach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Molten also make indoor volley balls?
Yes, that is actually its specialty, with the FIVB-approved V5M5000. This page only showcases its beach balls. For indoor, choose a ball from the V5M range.
Why is a beach ball stitched?
The stitched design is more resistant to sand, water, and outdoor impacts. It is mainly used for leisure balls, like the V5B1300. Competition balls focus more on touch precision.
Which Molten ball should I give to a teen discovering beach volleyball?
The V5B1300 Breizh is a good first ball, sturdy and easy to handle. If they join a club, the V5B5000 will then accompany them in tournaments. Add a needle pump to the gift.
Can you play in the rain with a Molten beach ball?
Yes, beach balls are made for outdoor use. Wipe it down after the game and let it dry at room temperature. Avoid leaving it soaked in a bag that’s closed.
