Takraw, developed in Southeast Asia, is one of the oldest known foot sports. Played much like footbag, the lively Sepak Takraw ball provides fast-paced, non-stop kicking action. As an alternative to your favorite footbag, the Sepak Takraw ball, with an approximate diameter of 5 1/2" lends itself excellently to acrobatic freestyle moves, and lightning-quick circle play. The Sepak Takraw ball is hand-woven of a high quality synthetic (plastic) material and is colored bright purple with a neon stripe for high visibility. This ball is softer and easier to control for beginning and intermediate level players.
