Product Overview
The JUGS 12-inch Low Impact, Multi-Use Practice Softball is designed specifically for advanced pitching machine batting practice. At 4.75 oz, it is lighter than a regulation softball, which allows it to add up to 5 mph of velocity for more challenging, game-speed training without compromising flight or feel.
Its sting-free composite formula keeps hitters confident and pain-free even against high-velocity pitches, and it is safe for use with both metal and composite bats without risk of damage or voided warranties. The seamed surface allows realistic spin, making it suitable for both machine-fed and live arm drills.
Finished in bright orange for high visibility in indoor and outdoor settings, this ball is used across skill levels from backyard players to college and hitting facility programs, and is backed by a 1-Year Guarantee.
