Product Overview
These 12" pitching machine balls are made from solid polyurethane with a dimpled, seamed construction that closely mimics a genuine softball's appearance and flight characteristics. The high-visibility coloring helps hitters track the ball out of the machine's wheel, which supports better pitch recognition and timing during repetitive batting practice sessions.
COR (coefficient of restitution) and compression are controlled during manufacturing, which keeps the liveliness of each ball consistent from one to the next. This uniformity matters for machine-fed practice because hitters and coaches rely on predictable ball behavior to build reliable timing and swing mechanics over many repetitions.
Because the balls carry a genuine softball look, they train the hitter's eye to read the pitch the same way a real game ball would present itself, rather than adapting to a synthetic or undersized substitute. This makes them a practical choice for programs that want machine practice to translate directly to live pitching.
Sold by the dozen, this pack is intended for ongoing use with softball pitching machines and feeders in the Sports Attack lineup, including softball-specific feeders and combo units. It ships via UPS Ground and is a straightforward consumable to keep on hand for teams running frequent batting practice.
