Baden Ballistic Leather Pitching Machine Softball 12" (One Dozen)

These are great for pitching machines

If you are looking for a leather ball for the three wheel hack pitching machine, this is your ball. Our hitters love the feel of a real ball as opposed to the jugs balls. They last pretty long but will wear out eventually, usually a couple of seasons, but they are under heavy use in our program, 4-5 times a week.

These have been great for use with our 3 wheel spinball pitching machine. Last and last, balls still retain there pop and shape. Of course accuracy is not as great as a dimpled ball, but its a real ball. Just like any real ball especially new ones they will leave residue on wheels that is easily cleaned off with appropriate solvent.We use them mostly in a outdoor cage, but the times on the field we use it we do put a bow net back to catch the balls instead of letting them hit the metal backstop on the field.

After one use the balls are peeling and scuffed up. They were very inconsistent coming out of the machine. Very frustrating when trying to have player practice.

Comes out of the machine smooth!
