Brand new to the Molten range is the the Molten FLISTATEC ® V5M5000 Volleyball, newly released in the UK in January 2010. The ball has been developed using Molten FLISTATEC® technology, which stands for Flight Stability Technology, this new ball is approved by FIVB and is set to revolutionise volleyball design.

The new FLISTATEC ® Volleyball boasts increased ball control and improved visibility. By improving the air-current around the ball while in flight Molten has succeeded in increasing ball control during play. Ground-breaking research by Molten revealed that by placing raised hexagonal shaped designs on the surface of the ball the manufacturer has been able to enhance the flight stability of the ball. Further improvements include the adding of a softer, thicker microfibre layer to the ball which, when combined with the secure nylon wound layer and the uniquely designed hexagon surface layer, increases the grip and allows for firmer, more accurate overhand passing. In addition, Molten has improved the visibility of this new ball by placing three streamlined panels on each side of the volleyball, complementing Molten’s existing panels of white, red and green, and thereby creating a smoother rotation motion and greatly enhancing visibility.
