These work much better in pitching machines versus real balls. They are much more consistent in the strike zone and the have much less sting for the batter.

very nice product! these balls pitch very consistent out of my juggs machine.

Great product. Just the right amount of softness for practice.

Best pitching machine balls in my opinion.

I'm very happy with these balls; we had a few old balls and they are hard as a rock and my daughter complains that they sting, the new balls sound better out of the machine and appear to be sting free as advertised. I would buy again.

Good balls. They are like other pitching machine balls but feel "softer/rubbery'er" which makes me feel like they do not hurt all of the $300 bats on my team. You could look around and save maybe 8 bucks a dozen on other brands but I feel comfortable that these things are not deadening my teams bats. We practice with them about 20 times and no sign of wear or tear.

These are much easier on the hands during hitting and catching. Works great for my daughter. Also the bright color makes them easy to find around the yard.

The balls have been used for 2 seasons now. There are no stingers when learning to bunt, so it's a great way to build up confidence in players before mixing in some real softballs. The dimpled balls travel farther when hit, so this is another confidence builder, although it could be misleading when taking full swings with actual softballs. Lastly, these are more consistent in their flight patterns when used with a pitching machine, allowing more hits during BP than softballs with big seams.

Excellent practice balls for BP and fly true from pitching machines for a strike every time. For fielding when using a pitching machine they do bounce a lot more than a normal softball, but for the purpose of BP they work great.
