These balls are excellent batting practice balls to use with soft toss, tees and pitching from 25ft (max) away. They have never split on me, and we use them at least once a week. My kids and I hit them with metal and composite bats. These will not fly off a little league bat unless they are hit properly, so there is skill and practice needed - which is exactly what coaches and parents want at practice time. Obviously, they are affected by wind and grass more than a heavier baseball and they don't provide the same impact at contact. You will be able to throw them fast to a little leaguer with accuracy if you stand closer than the pitching mound.

Hard. Plastic. And ball shaped. Just what you want when you are playing ball with the kids.
Hit them into the woods? No worries, you can spot these balls from Mars.

These are solid practice balls that are holding up well. We’re using them in a pitching machine that throws at 30mph and my son is using his metal bat to hit, and the balls are taking the beating without a dent in them.
