Product Overview
The Bownet Official Fastpitch 12-inch softball is built with a premium optic leather cover approved for college- and pro-level games, paired with raised seams for pitcher grip on curves and drop balls. Inside, a PU core delivers a .47 COR rating and 375-pound compression, matching the specifications set by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and USSSA Softball for official game balls.
Sold by the dozen, this softball is priced and packaged for teams needing enough balls for both games and practice. The case measures 15 in. x 11.25 in. x 3.75 in. and weighs 5.40 lbs., while the full shipping box measures 24 in. x 13 in. x 16 in. and weighs 6.40 lbs.
Stamped 'Official Fastpitch', these softballs can be used in most amateur or semi-pro games. Bownet also offers versions of this same 12-inch softball with NFHS or USSSA branding for leagues requiring that specific artwork.
