Baseball/Softball Foam Training Ball (12 Pack)

I love these balls. Even though we have a batting cage in the backyard we find ourselves using these in the garage all the time. They provide great feedback, they don't damage anything and so far they've been very durable. If you get under one with a swing they'll spin and take an oval shape. But if you really square them up you can tell and they fly. You can pitch these to your kid from 10 feet away and you don't even have to flinch because if it hits you square in the face it won't hurt.I almost gave them 4 stars just because they're a tad spendy but what are you gonna do? When compared to the cost of other baseball equipment I guess it's not so bad. If you want to work on hitting with your kid and space is limited or you live in an area with tough winters etc. you should really consider picking up a few dozen of these balls. I can't think of a better way to spend $90 on baseball equipment. You can hit BP in the living room of your apartment off the tee, soft toss...etc. and get a lot of reps in without getting out of your pajamas.They're good for pre-game BP too. The wind will move them a little bit but nowhere near as bad whiffle balls. In high winds they'll just get a little curve. But you can throw them straighter and harder than whiffle balls. Kids love to hit them too.

Very awesome. Kids love them.Can use them inside and out...and we've used them mostly out so as to not destroy any property of ours...or the neighbors.Even with use outside, the balls are still in great condition - no tears or rips.Bought these in April 2015. Used all spring and summer and now in the fall.Will buy more, just to not have to chase as often when hitting in the open field.Feedback is instant and awesome when you hit one and it spins out oblong - oops you missed it....and then when you crush one solid and the ball stays round and knuckles out in a sweet looking line drive...like the ball is smiling back at you saying, "NICE HIT!"Update: Jan 2016 -Over a dozen practices OUTSIDE...on the field (dirt and fences) and in the yard (trees, branches, etc) and NO DAMAGE to the balls. Not a single tear or rip. I'm in awe of these.I bought when they were $20ish and thought it was a lot, but WELL worth it. Now that they are over $31 - I'm hesitant', but will still buy to have a full 2 dozen for more efficient practices - especially during early season rain outs when we get forced inside.

Perfect for what I bought them for, indoor Tee work and soft toss. They are slightly smaller than a regular baseball and weigh less. Unlike some of the soft baseballs, ie packgout and Softhits, these do not rebound off a wall nearly as much. Although those won't send you to the ER, they don't feel good if you take one to the groin, you can ask my son. These will likely not hold up well for outdoor use, at least if left out, and I am unsure of how many hits they will withstand but likely they will deteriorate faster than some of the other balls available. I guess that is a trade off for safety and not breaking household items if you are restricted on space. I have only had them a short period and will update if I feel they don't last at least an acceptable period.I would say these do not fly as far as the Softhits, but can still go a ways. The TCB YH74 holed balls or Atec are probably better for limited flight outdoors.I appears some people use these for pitching, but that may be softballs, I have a hard time controlling these very well for pitching personally, but that goes for any of the softer baseballs including the Softhits in my hands.

Good. Seem a little to soft and costly. Very useful though and would recommend.

My 11 year old son can do BP in the back yard and not destroy anything! He can hit as hard as he can and balls do not travel very far.

I absolutely love these balls! I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to write one for this item. These are awesome for batting practice when you're somewhat limited with space. They are very soft and give you awesome feedback because if you do not hit them solid they just spin and go hardly anywhere. If you catch it solid this thing will fly! If you catch one in the groin it will still hurt, I promise. They will not break a window, I know because I've hit my window many times with a drilled shot and there's no chance of it happening. My boy and I have had so much fun playing homerun derby with these balls and it serves as an awesome hitting session too. I can't recommend these balls enough.

Tomorrow it should be somewhere around -20 windchill, so naturally working on baseball swing mechanics with my son outdoors is out of the question. I was looking for something we could use in the garage with a net. I did a few hours of research online & came across The Anywhere Ball on Amazon.This evening after dinner we actually did soft toss in the front room into the sofa. Most balls hit the sofa, however a few did hit the wall (sheet rock). There was zero damage. Impressive to say the least. I won't know about the durability until we get them outside, but if you need a training aid for the cold winter months, check out this product! This will also be a great aid during spring practice when I'm not in the mood to chase baseballs all over the field. I'll most likely use The Anywhere Ball from a tee and for soft toss.I'd also recommend this product as a teaching aid for catching the baseball. It'll be a great tool this spring to work on the "Thumbs Up", "Pinkies Down" drill with the little guys.#HighlyRecommend
