TB18 The Setter

Best setting ball out there. Excellent quality, very durable, and perfect for strengthening setting hands. The added weight really helps build proper technique and control. As a former setter and now a coach, this is the setting ball I give all of my setters. Highly recommend for serious volleyball players looking to improve their setting skills.

Daughter uses it to practice setting everyday. It’s very well made and heavy

This is the perfect ball for setting practice. It’s just heavy enough to help setter perfect higher sets. PS—Can we address something on almost every volleyball review? Basically, NFHS, USAV, and NCAA require balls to be between 4.3 psi and 4.6. While that number drops for beach volleyballs, it doesn’t really matter. As a referee, I have never measured the PSI of any ball that met the required specifications before a match. Most balls lose pressure. Some balls gain pressure if exposed to extreme heat. The most common complaint I read in reviews is that a ball didn’t come inflated. The idea that a ball will should come inflated is ridiculous, especially when it comes to meeting the required specifications of inflation. Buy a cheap pump and meter. You’ll need it—even if your ball comes inflated to the correct pressure. While I have received maybe one ball out of hundreds that was warped once inflated, that was an anomaly. Expecting a volleyball you ordered through the mail be inflated to its specifications is like ordering an above-ground-pool kit you expect to come filled with water.

I have two daughters who play volleyball. Recently they were told to purchase a setters vball to help improve their settings skills. I looked around and decided to purchase the Tachikara Weighted vball. There is quite a noticeable difference between the weight of this vball versus a regulation one. The girls have been using it almost daily and love the results. Within a month of use their fingers and arms have become quite a bit stronger. The ball itself has a good feel to it. In fact it does not feel cheap at all. I am sure this ball will last for many years, which is good as I have two more daughters who will most likely play the sport. I do have one complaint and it is not the manufacturer's fault but Amazon's shipping. The ball was sent to us slightly deflated and stuffed in a box. Because of this two sides of the vball have circular lines permanently in the ball. We actually requested Amazon to ship us a new one and we sent the old one back. Again, we received a ball stuffed in a box with circular lines in the leather. Inflating and time does not remove them either. I am giving the ball five stars because it is a great vball. I would give Amazon and how they shipped the volleyball 0 stars if I could. I have included photos so you can see for yourself the lines which are permanently indented into the ball. I would recommend this ball for any setter, or even a vball player in general, as it is a great tool to increase the strength of the player. I am not sure though if Amazon is the seller to purchase it from as they should ship it fully inflated. Again, this is a great volleyball for anyone who wishes to improve in setting.

I am a coach and this ball is great for building setter strength in fingers, hands and wrists. Recommend for all setters!!

nice to have this volleyball practice at home, only one thing , this volleyball need pump up by yourself

If you have a volleyball player they need one of these. Great product

Great quality, my BF loved it when I gave it to him as a gift. I like to steal it sometimes too :)

As a volleyball player, my kid couldn’t be happier with the Tachikara TB-18 Setter’s Ball! It has the perfect weight and feel for developing quick, accurate sets without straining her hands. The quality is excellent, and it holds up really well to daily practice. This ball has definitely boosted her confidence on the court—highly recommend for any setter who wants to improve their game! Especially a game-changer if you practice before the tournaments.

Cuando lo abrí vi que el balón estaba sin aire y pensé que es normal y lo examino y veo cómo sale en el video, fuga y lo inflé para ver si es normal y se inflo perfectamente y pasaron dos días y apenas lo iba a usar el balón ya que no lo he usado y está desinflado

Excellent training volleyball, heavier than the normal one, good for practicing and strengthening.
