It arrives deflated for safe shipping, measures 8.2 inches in diameter, and weighs approximately 17–17.5 ounces (about 1.1 lbs), roughly twice the mass of a typical volleyball. The reinforced construction balances durability with a soft feel to reduce arm strain during high-repetition drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the extra weight improve my setting and control?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe added mass increases resistance during each repetition, forcing the muscles used in setting — wrists, fingers, forearms, shoulders, and upper back — to work harder. Over time, that resistance can translate into steadier hands and firmer contact on regulation balls, as your control adapts to faster deceleration and release mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighted design develops wrist and finger strength for cleaner contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlower ball trajectory highlights technique flaws for correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-repetition training increases muscle endurance for long matches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this volleyball comfortable for repeated indoor practice sessions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — RUN2PEAK used PU leather to give the ball a tactile, consistent surface that feels softer against the forearms than harder materials.
