Indoor Softballs

[packhand]

What "safety" softballs do you guys like the best for indoor workouts?

We are going to have some school gym space this winter but they want us to use a softer ball.

I have used the easton incrediball before.

Is there something better out there? Something closer to the actual weight of a real softball?

 

[WinThemAll]

The easton gets "slick" and spongie. Jugs Softie is ok, but I have grown to like the Wilson A9117 Soft Compression Softball.

 

[PEPPERS]

We always used indoor 12 inch dimple pitching machine balls, tennis balls or Styrofoam golf balls.

Here is coach John Tschida directing a indoor practice, don't agree with everything he says, but IMO over all he does a good job and a good productive practice for indoors. Hope this helps.

He reference the hum drill, anyone know about what he is referring to?

Easton incredaballs..... perfect for gym floor training. They'll come in 2 options, one will be slick and the other will have a fabric like texture
