Product Reviews

Read this before you buy, then DO NOT BUY

I am not the typical person to complain about a product. I researched this product and read many complaints about these being cheap balls and falling apart. I thought to myself, “Yeah Right, they are baseballs they are not just going to fall apart.” I have used these balls for the past for weeks, with my three children: my son is 12 and plays little league baseball and middle school baseball, my daughter is 11 and plays park and rec softball and middle school softball, and my other daughter is 9 and plays little league baseball. We only practice on the weekend, one day, for about 2 hours (cause they are always at practice and games any other time). Already, after 4 uses, half of the balls in the bucket are damaged. By damage I mean, the outer synthetic plastic covering is torn, missing a piece, bunched up, bubbled, or the threading is tear away. This balls are at a cheap price, because they are really actually cheaply made. I will never by a synthetic ball again, I’ll invest the extra money next time on some real leather balls or actual baseballs. These balls were so bad, I told myself that I have to take the time to write a review so other people know how bad they actually are. My children and I would highly recommend buying another ball, you will be disappointed with these. Thank you for your time!

2 Dozen Baseballs

Update:These baseballs have made it through a couple of seasons now with multiple practices a week. I have since ordered better balls, and do find myself skipping over these and grabbing one of the better balls, especially when I’m working with pitchers. As stated before, the seams on these just don’t stick up as much. I’ve since moved onto these: Rawlings RCALI Cal Ripken Baseballs. The Cal Ripken balls are much much better, but…they should be since one dozen of those costs as much as two dozen of these. If you’re looking for high quality balls, these are not it. If you’re looking for decent practice balls, these are a good buy!Original Review:Arrived on time. Needed more baseballs for practice. These fit the budget. They are not the highest quality, nor the lowest. The seams don’t stick out as far like they do on more expensive baseballs, but for the price and the fact that I am using them solely for practice, they work perfectly. Will buy more when I need more.

Good throw away baseballs

After a single use they are showing some wear already. However, these were bought with the full intention of being throw away baseballs. I was hoping to get a little lucky that they would last longer. At this rate I dont think the majority of these baseballs will make it to the end of our baseball season.

Just what we wanted.

These balls were purchased to be send in Shoe Boxes as a part of Operation Christmas Child by Samaritans Purse. I know that the boys who got one were really excited!! The price was very reasonable and with “Prime” very easy to order 3 buckets.

Excellent Balls for the Price.

Great Balls. The kids use them for practice and while not regulation balls in terms of quality they are good enough to get a summer or 2 out of them. Happy with the purchase…

Really Nice

These balls work great with the Blue Flame pitching machine we bought at the same time. My kids are 9 (boy) and 7 (girl). They clobber these balls all over the fields. The balls get dirty and wet and hold together just fine. The bucket closes TOO well, if anything. Hard to open. Otherwise, a really quality set at a good price.

These are perfect for what I ordered them for

I don’t want to go over the top (hence four stars instead of five), but these baseballs arrived, and, given the negative reviews I’d seen,I was nervous. I opened the container and breathed a sigh of relief. These are perfect for what I ordered them for, which is to give a young pitcher some practice balls to throw throw the hole of an old tire. They look sturdy and absolutely fine. I have not experimented with hitting them and so can’t speak to their longevity at being whacked by a bat over and over, but wouldn’t you buy a more expensive ball for actual game play? I dunno, but all I can tell you is, don’t worry, these baseballs are just fine. If they fail in actual trials, I’ll return and amend this, but my initial impression was that they match their price point (and then some) in construction and quality.

These balls were used for a baby shower. Great price for the quantity that it comes with! Thank you

Great Deal!

Good Value. This is a great bucket of practice baseballs for the price. I would recommend for anyone to use at the ball field for hitting or fielding practice.
