Mikasa BV550C is the official volleyball of all FIVB games including the Olympic Games. Iconic 10-panel technology has larger panels and fewer seams. The lower rebound effect extends the player's contact with the ball, enhancing precision in play. The Dimple surface structure allows for better grip and provides much better control. TwinSTLock sewing technology is a combination of machine and bound seams. As a result, there is an almost zero chance of a seam coming loose. It also allows the use of a thinner thread, where the player does not perceive or feel the panel transitions. With the environment at the forefront of MIKASA's mind, a new synthetic leather with recycled nylon and water-based dyeing was developed to reduce environmental impact. The unique colour design, enhanced by the inclusion of red, ensures optimal visibility for both players and spectators.
