Man, let me tell you about this volleyball I got, the OPTX AVP. I’ve been getting back into beach volleyball lately, you know, just casual games with friends down at the shore. I figured it was time to upgrade from that old, beat-up ball we’d been using.
So, I started looking around, and I stumbled upon this OPTX AVP. First thing that caught my eye was the colors. It’s not your typical white volleyball, let me tell you. They say it’s got this “Visual Spin Technology”. Sounds fancy, right? Well, it’s got these bright, contrasting colors that are supposed to make it easier to track the spin of the ball.
Getting the Ball
I decided to get one for myself. Ordered it, and it showed up pretty quick. I was excited to try this thing out, so I grabbed a buddy, and we headed down to the beach.
First Impressions
- The colors are really something. It’s definitely noticeable. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it does stand out against the sand and sky.
- It feels good. It’s got that nice, grippy texture that you want in a beach volleyball. It’s not too hard, not too soft.
Playing with the OPTX
We started rallying, just passing it back and forth. Honestly, I could see a difference with the colors. You could almost see the spin on the ball much better, even from a distance. We started setting each other, and even that seemed easier. You can really anticipate where the ball’s gonna go based on how it’s rotating.
Then, we started hitting. Now, I’m no pro, but I swear this ball made my hits feel better, more accurate. I could almost feel the ball better while i was hitting it. Maybe it’s just in my head, but I felt like I had more control over the ball.
Final Thoughts
We played for a couple of hours, and I gotta say, I’m impressed with this OPTX AVP. It’s a solid ball. It feels durable, like it’ll last a while. And that whole “Visual Spin Technology” thing? It actually seems to work. I was tracking the ball better, my buddy was tracking it better, and our overall game just felt… smoother. It could be all in my head, but it was fun.
If you’re looking for a new beach volleyball, I’d say give the OPTX AVP a shot. It might just improve your game, or at the very least, it’ll make you look a little more stylish out there on the sand. Plus, it’s just a fun ball to play with. The bright colors really add to the experience, in my opinion.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with the OPTX AVP volleyball. Definitely gonna keep using it. Maybe I’ll even start a winning streak. Who knows? All I know is, I had fun playing with it, and isn’t that what it’s all about?
