Solution
The following are the characteristics of the ball used in a volleyball game.
- Material: It is made of synthetic or genuine leather, which provides both hardness and a soft feel for improved control.
- Weight: The ball weighs between 260 and 280 grammes (9.2 to 9.9 ounces), making it light but strong enough for powerful strikes.
- Air Pressure: To provide the best bounce and flight qualities, maintain an interior air pressure of 0.30 to 0.325 kg/cm² (4.26 to 4.61 psi).
- Shape and construction: The ball normally comprises 18 panels stitched or fixed together to form a spherical shape.
- Colour: To improve visibility during play, the ball is commonly multicoloured, with bright combinations like white, yellow, and blue.
