Kuo skiriasi paplūdimio ir salės tinklinio kamuoliai?

Pagrindinis skirtumas tarp paplūdimio ir salės tinklinio kamuolių yra dydis, slėgis ir paviršiaus odos tipas. Pagal FIVB (Tarptautinės tinklinio federacijos) standartą, paplūdimio kamuolių slėgis turėtų būti 0.175 – 0.225 kgf/cm2, o salės – 0.3 – 0.325 kgf/cm2. Paplūdimio tinklinio kamuolių apimtis turėtų siekti nuo 66 iki 68 cm, salės – nuo 65 iki 67 cm. Svoris vienodas: nuo 260 iki 280 g.
Remiantis šiais duomenimis, paplūdimio tinklinio kamuoliai yra šiek tiek didesni ir minkštesni negu salės tinklinio kamuoliai. Minkštesnis kamuolys sudaro įspudį, kad jis yra lengvesnis nei salės. Be to, kontaktas su paplūdimio tinklinio kamuoliu yra truputį švelnesnis. Paplūdimio kamuolių paviršius sukonstruotas iš panelių, kurios tarpusavyje yra susiūtos. Odos bei kitų kompozicinių medžiagų junginys sukuria didesnį atsparumą vandeniui. Salės kamuolių paneles tarpusavyje yra suklijuotos ir pagamintos vien iš odos, todėl nėra pritaikytos lauko sąlygoms lyjant.
