These are great for pitching as they have the seams. You can throw all your pitches as you would with a normal ball.

As a pitching coach with 10+ years of experience, this is a necessity for every pitchers’ bag. Progressive overload makes throwing a softball seem effortless to even the younger girls as it develops their fingers/wrist snap.**Do not throw full motion with these balls as it causes wear and tear on the shoulder/rotator cuff area**These are JUST used for wrist flicks/snaps and possibly Ts/Xs/Ks/Ws, no further in motion.

As a high school softball coach and individual pitching coach with years of experience, I can confidently say that these weighted softballs are an absolute game-changer for young players aged 10 and up. I have tried numerous training aids over the years, but these softballs have quickly become my go-to tool for developing strong, skilled pitchers.

We bought these weighted balls on the recommendation of daughter’s trainer about 2 years ago. She uses the yellow ball at least once a week still after 2 years just to build strength in her wrist.

These work great. As an adult who doesn't usually have time to get a full proper warm up before a softball game, tossing with these before throwing with a regular ball is a great way to warm up the muscles without straining yourself to hurry with a lighter weight ball. Now I don't have to throw a football beforehand - those are much harder to fit into a backpack softball bag. I almost don't even need the lower weights for throwing, could almost use two weights higher.

These are apparently what they say they are. The seams could be better, since these are aimed at pitchers mostly, and pitchers like raised seams. These are pretty flat. The covers are leather as far as I can tell and haven't come apart yet despite a decent number of balls into the ground or to the fence. The weight difference for at least the 9 oz one is slight enough that you don't exactly get a workout throwing it, but enough that old men throwing to the daughters might feel it in the shoulder or elbow later. I don't know about the included instructions (don't throw over 60%), that seems a little pointless. My daughter used the 9 oz green ball and said, okay, let's try the 12 oz ball. No arm injuries so far, and she may have picked up some speed but right now I'm relying on my eyes and I may be overly optimistic. I'll have to get a functional radar if I want to know the answer to that.
