It's nice to have a ton of balls like this because my son is constantly hitting them over the fence and losing them. At least I know I won't have to worry about replacing any for quite a long time.

I used a number of different manufacturers without satisfactory results. Balls from Target, Sport Authority (Easton) and Dicks usually split after a couple of uses. The juggs were heavily used with both my sons all-star teams over the summer without one split (at least 60 days with 12 kids per team). I accidently ran one over with my car and it still didn't split. I strongly recommend these balls with anyone.

After buying a dozen whiffle balls of a different brand that were splitting at an extraordinary high rate, I decided to try these Jugs whiffle balls. The difference has been night and day. After several uses, I have not had one of the Jugs balls break yet. I use them with my 11 year old son, and he uses his composite bat to hit them. Besides just holding up, I find the Jugs balls to have a better weight to them, which helps me throw them more consistently to him. And having 100 of them is really nice; more hitting and less time picking up balls.
