Mikasa FX5 Match Quality Netball (Size 5)

The Mikasa FX5 is a premium, match-quality netball engineered specifically to handle both high-level league matches and aggressive team training sessions. Designed with long-term structural integrity in mind, this ball is recognized for its ability to withstand demanding, high-impact play on rough outdoor tarmac surfaces as well as polished indoor multi-sport courts.

The defining feature of the FX5 is its combination of Mikasa’s premium Japanese wound core technology and a high-traction casing. Constructed with 32 precision-paneled segments made of the highest-grade synthetic leather, it offers an exceptional, slip-resistant grip for sharp chest passes, quick receptions, and clean shooting releases. The dense internal thread-wound carcass prevents the ball from warping or expanding over time, ensuring a perfectly spherical shape and a reliable bounce throughout the season.
