Christmas Molten balls: match and beach

V5M5000 LNV: the ball for big matches as a gift

The V5M5000 is Molten's top-of-the-line for indoors. Its Flistatec surface, designed for stable flight, gives it a consistent trajectory. It is approved by the FIVB, and the version on this page has LNV in its name, which stands for the National Volleyball League. For a club player, it's the most significant gift in the selection.

V5M4500 and V5M4000: club-level competition

For club matches, these two models take over in Molten's competition range. Check the details of each to see the competitions where they are used. The V5M4500 comes deflated: include a pump with the package.

V5M3500 and junior balls: training and initiation

The V5M3500 is a training ball, suitable for both gym and outdoor use. For children, Molten offers lighter balls: the V5M2000-L for initiation, the V5M2501-L with a very soft touch for forearms, and the V5C1400-L. They remain size 5, but with a lighter weight, making it easier for beginners to perform high passes.

V5B5000, V5B1500, V5B1300 Breizh: Molten on the sand

For beach volleyball, the V5B5000 is certified by the FIVB and made for regular use, resistant to sand and moisture. The V5B1500 and V5B8R complete the offering. The V5B1300, made of sewn PVC with a butyl bladder that holds pressure, is aimed at leisure use: camping, gardens or beaches. Its Breizh version will bring a smile to a Breton player or a lover of Brittany under the Christmas tree.

Molten lots: a gift for the whole section

Most models on this page are also sold in lots, from the V5M5000 to junior balls, and up to the V5B1300 Breizh for the beach. For a club, a volleyball school, or a beach association, it's a way to have identical balls for the whole group and maintain the same feel from one session to the next. Competition balls are then reserved for matches, while the others are for drills.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find a cheap Molten ball for Christmas?

Training and leisure balls generally cost less than an approved match ball. For a discounted competition ball, check the Christmas special offers, and then the sales after the holidays.

Which Molten ball should I give to a club player?

If their club plays with Molten, gift them the model used in their matches: the product sheet indicates which competitions each ball is certified for. Ask a teammate discreetly to avoid spoiling the surprise.

What does the LNV label mean on a Molten ball?

LNV stands for the National Volleyball League, which organizes the professional championship in France. The V5M5000 on this page features this label in its name, and it remains FIVB approved.

Can an indoor Molten ball be played outside?

The V5M3500 is designed for both gym and outdoor use. Competition balls, however, are reserved for the indoor court: a rough surface quickly wears down their coating. For the beach, choose a beach ball like the V5B1300.

Which Molten ball is suitable for a beginner child?

A lighter ball like the V5M2000-L, designed for initiation, or the V5M2501-L, with a very soft touch. They maintain the size of an adult ball but require less force, making the first passes easier. The junior age filter on the page isolates them.
