Description
Overview
The Mikasa W6000W Mens Water Polo Ball (S5) is the full-size men's match ball in the Mikasa range. Mikasa introduced the Wave design in 2009 and the supplier copy notes it carries the FINA stamp of approval, adding that Mikasa has been the water polo ball of choice since 1980.
Choose it when your men's grade plays with a size 5 ball rather than a size 4. It is a match ball first; if you only need a ball for shooting drills, a match ball is more than the job requires.
Key benefits
- Controlled grip when the ball is wet, from the hand buffed rubber cover.
- Reliable shape and flight from the precision nylon wound carcass.
- Full men's size 5, listed as the official size for senior men's play.
- Wave tri-colour design used in competition since 2009.
Who it's for
Senior men's club and school teams, and squads training for men's competition who want to practise with the same ball they play with. Gear managers replacing a set of match balls can add several to a quote for club pricing.
Sizing guide
Size 5 is the men's ball. Women's and junior grades generally use a smaller ball, so check your competition's requirement and see the size 4 option on this site if that is what your grade uses.
Care, safety and set-up
Keep the ball inflated for games, rinse and dry it after pool use, and store it out of direct sun.
