Pro White Dimple Balls w/Seams

Coach JP Says:

Let me say this first, I really like using machine pitch dimple balls, but the inherent problems and the misconceptions about them actually have merit. So I do understand when coaches or players tell me that dimple balls are bad.

Benefits of Using A High Quality Pro Dimple Ball

• Cheap dimple baseballs can actually dent, expensive aluminum bats
• They can be hard on wheel-type pitching machines, shortening the life of the machine
• They exaggerate the sting when a ball is incorrectly hit off the handle or the end of the bat
• Some others are so soft that they have no "pop" or "carry" and feel like you're hitting a tomato.

Let's Solve The Problem

Once again, good and cheap don't go together and I can't speak for any other brand or manufacturer of these balls, just our own. We know that what we carry is of high quality and since there's no standardization in these balls and they are so mass-produced overseas, even some brands you may recognize might not be as good as I would hope or frankly as good as I would offer my customers. My recommendation is that when you find a good ball, buy and re-buy by that same ball.

And none of our dimple balls will damage or dent your high-end metal or wood bat!

We handle thousands of these same balls every season. I do not recall any customer who has had a complaint issue in any recent season...and our re-orders increase each season without issue

Final Note

Machine pitch balls, dimple balls or dimples are just different words that generally refer to the same thing. These injection-molded, usually yellow, rubber practice balls that you see used most frequently in commercial batting cages.

Machine pitch balls also refer to a certain new leather-covered ball with flat or very low profile seams which are usually made from Kevlar, a bullet proof material, rather than cotton. This ball was developed for those who preferred hitting a leather ball that most resembled any regulation baseball or softball without the premature wear that regulation balls take from pitching machines and in batting cages.
