At the end of the test, the ball absorbed no more than 15% of its initial weight.The SEAM CLOSING process prevents water from seeping in and hides the joint seams between the panelling for even greater durability. #### Durable inflation We chose to use a bladder made from 80% butyl for a more durable inflation.The counterbalanced bladder guarantees a better trajectory thanks to its uniform distribution of weight. #### THE RIGHT PRESSURE Did you know that a beach volleyball should be less inflated than an indoor volleyball?! We really can't stress this enough: a well-inflated ball is the key to (or at least a key part of) a great game!0.18 to 0.22 bars for a beach volleyball / (0.3 bars for a volleyball)If you don't have a pump with a pressure gauge, just touch it - it should be very soft and flexible to the touch.
