What will new the new official beach volleyball?
With the AVP no longer the governing body and standard for beach volleyball in the U.S., what ball do you expect to be using in competitive play?
USAV competition will continue to use the international Mikasa ball (with the swirl patern) but I'm certainly not skilled enough for international play.
I live on the east coast and our major clubs (EEVB in particular) are drifting toward the Spalding King of the Beach ball.
What do the west coast and other organizations plan on using? Have you drifted toward the Spalding ball as well?
I believe Wilson is producing the AVP ball with SAND printed where AVP was but that may have just been a limited trial batch.

As you already noted, the Spalding KOB AW is the up and coming favorite of regional tours, possibly due to the lower price and the All Weather composite. The California Beach Volleyball Association (CBVA) and the Dig the Beach Tour (Florida) both use the Spalding.
The National Volleyball League (NVL) will be using the Wilson (probably the one you saw).
Mikasa is too expensive for most people and Molten is hard to find and is also expensive, so I'd say we'll mostly see the Spalding and the Wilson AVP replacement.
