Product Overview
The Hollow Flex Training Balls let players take swings without the risk of injury or broken windows. Made of a durable, thick, flexible material, each ball gives instant feedback about the point of contact while its hollow core limits flight distance and impact force, making it suitable for use at the gym, in a basement, or anywhere else space is limited.
The lineup covers three sizes: a 6 in. mini ball about the size of a golf ball (BN-HOLLOW MINI), a 9 in. hollow training baseball (BN-HOLLOW BB), and a 12 in. hollow flex softball (BN-HOLLOW FP). All are finished in a bright orange color for better visibility against grass or bright sun.
Each set ships as a 12-pack (one dozen) and is backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, giving players a repeatable, low-risk way to log reps whether hitting off a tee or from live pitching.
