Volleyball

The net poles are made out of PVC plastic at the tops which is where the clear part is. Then the black part of the pole is made of either really heavy metal (aluminum) or carbon fiber poles which are a lot lighter.
A volleyball is made out of polyisobutylene on the inside. Then rubber glue is used in between the rubber and the leather. The leather is man made.
Volleyball shoes often have ethylene vinyl acetate or polyurethane midsoles sometimes companies use other things like air, plastics or gel. The components help relieve the shock from your feet when jumping all the time.
