Product Overview
The Bownet Snap Back Training Balls are 9-inch poly-flex baseballs built with a trademarked construction that collapses on impact and then snaps back into shape, allowing repeated use and instant feedback on where contact is being made on the bat. The impact-absorbing material is designed to withstand thousands of swings from powerful hitters, making it suitable for both tee work and soft toss drills.
Because the balls have a limited-flight design, they don't travel far after being struck, reducing the need to chase balls down and making them safer to use in confined spaces. They pair well with the Big Mouth X training net but can also be used without a net thanks to their controlled flight.
Snap Back Training Balls are available in a standard 12-pack, a 24-pack (2 dozen) bucket, and a Mini version sized like a golf ball for youth players or hitters looking to sharpen contact accuracy further. All versions are covered by Bownet's 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
