✓ Authorized JUGS Dealer — ships brand-new from Tualatin, Oregon with the full JUGS guarantee

The JUGS 12-inch Low Impact, Multi-Use Practice Softball is built for advanced pitching machine batting practice. At 4.75 oz., it's lighter than a standard leather ball, so it won't sting hitters' hands even at higher machine speeds, while remaining the same size so it won't damage bats or void bat warranties.

The orange-seamed design reflects the feel of a real leather ball, making it suitable for live arm, short-toss, and soft-toss practice, as well as high-velocity catcher's receiving and blocking drills. It also applies up to 5 mph of added velocity over standard practice softballs, challenging advanced hitters during machine-fed BP.

Each bucket includes two dozen (24) softballs and comes in a free Michele Smith bucket that holds up to 30 standard-sized softballs, doubling as an easy-carry container and coaching seat. Suitable for backyard players up through college and hitting facility use, the balls are backed by a 1-Year Guarantee against normal wear and factory defects.
