GKK12 Pack Practice Training Baseballs for Kids/Youth 9 Inch Baseballs for Pitching Throwing Unmarked Autographs Baseball(One Dozen)…

These GKK Baseball 6/12Ball Pack Practice Training Baseballs are exactly what we needed! My son is 9, but due to Covid he didn’t play baseball for the last few years. So I needed some balls that were not going to hurt him while we practice every day outside in the yard.And these work perfectly for that! They are not foam, which we have tried before and wouldn’t recommend them, they are more like hard rubber. They can squeeze slightly but still have a durable design so when my dog gets a hold of one he can’t tear it apart easily. They do bounce a bit more than a regular baseball does, but if your worried about safety this is a great ball to use!

I love that they are a little softer than the original baseballs. Great for practicing at home in the backyard. This is excellent transitional training if you have a beginner transitioning from softer balls to harder balls. They are a little less than Timet 18th and a hard baseball. I wouldn’t call them squishy, but they have a slight cushion and are a bit bouncy. The price point is a little high, considering you can get a bucket of official league baseballs for equivalent pricing. If your player does not need a transitional ball. I would not recommend these and just go for a bucket of original official baseballs.

My nephew is moving from nerf balls in the backyard to tee league and so I wanted something to act as a bridge between the soft squishy balls he’s been around to some good old hard balls. These are the perfect stepping stone to help him build confidence as I send some 107 mph chin music his way. Ok, don’t call CPS, I don’t really do that. But playing catch can be a little more serious now without him always wincing when he sees those seams heading towards him. These are great fun for fielding practice. And if he goes rogue and throws it in the house, his mom doesn’t yell at me quite as loud.The balls seem well constructed and I didn’t see any issues with the stitching out of the box. My nephew isn’t exactly Aaron Judge so I didn’t expect him to hit the leather off these things. For fun, we decided to sacrifice one to do some torture testing for your benefit. We mashed it and stomped it and abused it in ways I’m not proud of for about 10 minutes. Then we took a picture to show the result. Looked pretty much the same as it did out of the box. Not much of a sacrifice. The stiches held up and it didn’t deform. I can’t speak to how these hold up after playing in rain and mud and being exposed to more extreme weather.We’re happy with these and will use them up until we’re ready for the real thing.

The media could not be loaded.  Trying to start my son on baseball. He’s never played before so I didn’t want to get baseballs that were too hard.This came in a nice box with12 individually sealed baseballs. Very nice and a hint of squish to it. It bounces off the bat pretty well (aluminum bat we used) and goes far. We’ve been practicing with them a few times and no issues with them unraveling so far. I do believe these balls will last for awhile just by looking at it.Overall, great practice baseballs for beginners and perfect for kids. I would recommend.

These are much more firm than foam balls, and have a good weight compared to plastic practice balls. But b/c they deform you can use them in places where you don't have as much space as you would at the ball field. Seem durable as well.

The media could not be loaded.  Great Practice Balls. Love that they come individually wrapped. Durable and have nice squish to them for practicing purposes and for the littles!! We are a baseball family and these will be put to use! First up though, we are using them for birthday party decor!!! Baby’s Rookie Year Birthday Party!!

These are balls we use for T-Ball. They are soft and a great ball to start any younger kid off with to get then use to catching before the hard ball gets introduced. Seems to be put together ok. I don't think they will last more than a year or two but we shall see.

I got these because I read a review that they were squishy and that is not the case. These are basically regular baseballs that are a tiny bit softer than real baseballs but not squishy at all. Unfortunately, I will not be able to use them as I need soft and squishy baseballs for my preschool sports program. But they are decently made.
