Baden White Dimpled Baseballs with Red Seams | High-Durability for Pitching Machines, Consistent Training, 12-Pack

Look good and pitch well, fake seams work

We were using standard Diamond USSSA baseballs in our ATEC Casey Pro Pitching Machine. Setup at 50' it would throw Army balls (i.e. left, left, left right, right, right left). Due to the seams of the ball, my boys would get hit or close to getting hit every round. The sting of the bat was also present. So I bought a dozen of the Baden dimpled baseballs to run through the machine. These flew near perfect and the sting in the bat was gone! At 50' I can now setup for inside, middle or outside pitches with the ATEC and 4 out of 5 will be properly placed. My boys love hitting on the ATEC now! The Baden dimpled balls are rubbery and bounce when you throw them against the ground. A Diamond USSSA DOL-1 is 5.19 ounces and the Baden Dimpled Baseball is 5.04 ounces. We have used both composite and alloy bats without any issues. I am unsure of the durability as we have just hit these a few rounds thus far. If you have an ATEC pitching machine, then I highly recommend the Baden Dimpled Baseballs.

I like the fact that it's the same size as an official game ball ⚾I added a few pics from front & side view comparing this Baden pitching machine baseball to an official Rawlings baseball, and also to an official Diamond baseballI got them yesterday and used them right away for batting practice, they fly like an official leather game baseball, and you can pitch them really well as they have an official weight like a regular baseball ⚾What I didn't like is that they came one ball short as you can see in the pics that I uploaded, I even included the plastic wrapping, as you can clearly see there are only 11 balls and not 12!!

They're pricey but extremely accurate out the bata 2 pitching machine even at lower speeds.

This item was ordered and sent back then replacement reordered and it is being sent back again. Each time I received only 1 ball not the dozen that is advertised. $54.00 is a little expensive for 1 ball.

Overall I'm pleased with these balls . The balls are different than other dimpled balls as there are not as many dimples and have some smooth areas on them . For that reason they come out of the pitching machine slightly different when you have them mixed together with other dimpled balls. They come out slightly faster at times and slightly slower at times depending which part of the ball the wheels on the machine get a hold of . I personally like that cause its good training for the batter to adjust to the pitch . To be clear , it's not too dramatic of a change where the balls are flying all over the place. They seem to be durable being that we use them 4 to 5 times a week and havnt had an issue except for the one that the mower got a hold of ! We also use them as an alternative to baseballs doing T work outside when the field is wet . We live in NC and it rains a lot and these balls do great In wet conditions .

Very Nice Product

Balls work well so far in a Spinball Pitching Machine
