Guide Review 
It's Durable
We were pleasantly surprised with the performance and feel of the Wilson 6000LE.  This ball with a great soft outer shell and wonderful controll is set apart from the rest by its durability.  After several weeks of play, the Wilson volleyball looks almost as new as the first day.  However the Wilson is not without its faults.  The Wilson has always had a bad rap when it comes to needle valves. Out of all of our balls, the Wilson was the only ball that showed a deformation of the needle valve.  While, after just six weeks, the ball does not leak air at all, the valve had begun to bulge on one side and was easily felt when holding the ball.
