The Best Practice Baseballs Should Stand Up To Abuse & Keep Their Shape!

Our practice baseballs are all made in a far-off factory; the same factory that makes name-brand baseballs, too.

The reality is that there are many fewer baseball manufacturers than there are baseball brands! And all the major brands of baseballs make game balls at various price points and quality levels. Additionally, many odd-sounding brands are actually owned by the major brands you have come to know. (Many major brands don’t want to put their “real name” on an inexpensive ball to avoid tarnishing their brand.)

An MLB Baseball Averages 6 Pitches – You Want Your Practice Baseballs To Last!

Another reality is that practice balls are likely to be hit more times than high-end game balls. And, many practice baseballs get put through wheel-type pitching machines where they are slowly destroyed by high-velocity spinning wheels and, many times, hit into a rock-hard floor or outdoor surface. Consider that the average lifespan of an official MLB ball gets pitched an average of 6 Pitches?
(Did you know? An MLB game averages 5-6 dozen baseballs; 90 are required to be ready for each game!

Here’s The Scoop About Our Practice Baseballs

Our practice baseballs are made in one of those factories where many name brands are made. Not having a name brand stamped on the leather cover saves all of us tons of money… as long as I can guarantee you’re getting more than your money’s worth! And that I can!

We Are The Sweet Spot In Practice Baseballs

These Leather Practice Baseballs feature a pro-style raised seam and are wrapped in a heavy-duty leather cover. The core is the real deal, featuring a 2-part cork & rubber for long-lasting durability and real wool windings! Our covers are made of real leather and hand-stitched around the windings to provide you with a high-quality, official-size cover that doesn’t vary from ball to ball. Its a lot of ball for the money!
I have offered this one brand & model of practice baseball for many seasons now and have yet to have any returned for any reason.

A Note About Junk Practice Baseballs… When Good & Cheap Don’t Mix!

The reality is that $100 or $140 dozen baseballs are built better and have the best of everything inside and out.
BUT… will your players ever be better hitters because of the high cost of the baseballs they hit during BP?

By that same reasoning, the cheapest ball should be ok then, right?
Not so fast! When I look at what’s offered in buckets & bags at big-box stores we all frequent, I usually see the bottom of the barrel.
Name brands, but fake leather covers and compressed sawdust guts. This bottom of the barrel-stuff just doesn’t last or hold their shape…mostly trash and sometimes, not even all that inexpensive, just cheap!
If a baseball does not say “real leather cover”, do not even be tempted… It’s trash!

One more thing… never put an imitation/synthetic leather baseball through a wheel-type pitching machine! Either the wheels load up with whatever they make those cheap covers out of causing a layer of… who knows what that molds to the wheel surface, or the sub-par stitching breaks when in contact with these high spinning rubber tires or wheels; Either way, I suggest that you never buy anything that does not say “leather cover”… though what’s inside is still a guess.

The Bottom Line On Buying Practice Baseballs

The more you play, the more you will practice. The more you practice, the better you will get.
This means that you will go through many dozens of practice baseballs. A good 2-part center (aka the pill), real wool windings, and a real leather cover are the basics you are looking for.

We offer excellent practice baseballs at this great price point, so I recommend you buy the same brand and model.
Find a good, consistent source, and a ball you can count on… that’s how coaches do it, and who buys more than them?!

I hope this has helped you & that my thoughts have passed on some knowledge that you can use!
