Core, I quoted you mostly to make sure you saw this. Question:
What about 300/52 COR slowpitch balls strictly for cage/front toss? They always seem pretty hard but are softer than fp balls according to cor right? So “safer” for bats or no?
Added some Sterling balls to my cage assortment 6 months ago. They are top quality. Baden has not been mentioned, I like those too, along with the others mentioned.
Quickly put...yes. If you are looking for a VERY durable BP ball and not hard on bats...look at the Trump Evil BP52 balls. They are made for bp
COR is the reflectivity (think I just made that up...not sure
) of a ball, compression is hardness.So the 300/52 is soft, but lively because of the high bounceback of the COR
I agree with this, we've also had great luck with Sterling and Trump leather balls.

Ah, yes the Evil BP’s! “These Suckers Fly!”, lol! I have some of those somewhere, I don’t use them in the cage. Confession: I try to pull one of those out of the bucket when we are doing BP on a field and someone drives by so dd can show off.
I have had really good luck with used slowpitch balls just as someone else mentioned.
No...not the "these suckers fly" balls...they are death to bats. They are something like a 600 compression ball. They are only made to boost egos
They make a legit BP52 ball that hits just like any 52 core ball but withstands the abuse of BP more than regular balls.
