I just have to give a shout-out to the Rawlings Official T-Balls! As a head coach, I rely on quality equipment to help our young players develop their skills, and these T-Balls have been a game-changer for our team. First off, the durability is fantastic. These balls can withstand some serious swings and still maintain their shape. I don't have to worry about constantly replacing them, which is a huge plus for our budget. The grip and feel of these T-Balls are excellent, which is crucial for our players as they learn to hit. They're just the right size and weight for our young athletes, making it easier for them to connect with the ball and build confidence in their swings. What's even better is that they're official Rawlings balls, so our players get a taste of the big leagues right from the start. It's a confidence booster for them and a nod to the quality of these T-Balls. Overall, I can't recommend the Rawlings Official T-Balls enough. They've been a fantastic addition to our practice sessions and have helped our young players develop their hitting skills. These balls are a true winner in my book! ⚾👍🏆 Read more
Great box of balls. Read more
These are great for tball or early baseball players. They are heavy but not hard enough to create injuries. They’re small enough for small hands to grip well too (our 18 month old can hold them and throw them well!). Read more
Same standard weight and diameter as a real baseball, but slightly squishier, so it won’t hurt your hand when playing catch. Harder than an all-foam nerf type ball, but definitely softer than a real baseball. Pleasant to play backyard toss and batting practice with, even for adults. I only wish you could buy these in the Rawlings bucket for the cheaper 12U price. They should offer that option. Read more
Work great for my 5 year old Read more
My son learned to catch and hit with these, and both activities are *much* safer and less painful than when using real (hard) baseballs. These held up nicely for 2 seasons in a row, but the 3rd year suddenly the the covers started to crack and flake off. The transformation was pretty quick - in our first real batting practice session we basically destroyed the whole box. That being said, normal balls wear out too, and the value for these is really tough to be beat even if I'm replacing them twice as often. And honestly as a total non-pro who just wants to support his kid, it's just so much more enjoyable for me to practice with these balls that don't sting like crazy if you hit or catch outside the sweet spot. So despite the lower durability I just bought a second box. Read more
I'm just finishing my first season of coaching a rookie (coach pitch) team. We went through all the balls the league gave us pretty quickly so I bought these as well. I do notice that when I reach in the mixed bucket to pick a ball I like these the best. They are soft which is a plus when you are throwing at a 5 year old. I try and throw a little harder than the rest of the coaches to keep the ball flat so a soft ball nice. It's especially nice when the bigger kids hit it screaming back at you and you are only 12 feet away. A good tip, keep the 5 gallon bucket of balls in front of you at least there is a chance it will it the bucket instead of you! I also like this ball better than the others when you have to invariably accept failure as a pitcher and drag out the tee for one of the kids. The MLB logo is a perfect thing to have the kids focus on when they are swinging at the ball on the tee. On accepting failure, as a coach pitcher it is your job to hit the bat of the swinging kid, not the kid's job to hit your pitch. So if they don't hit it, it's your fault for missing their bat! Of the three different types of balls we used this season this one is my favorite. Read more
Good introductory ball used for T-ball. Quality feel/build and a good value for the money. Read more
