We have practice bats we use for all drills. It speeds up the practice and reduces the wear and tear on your bats. If you are only doing soft toss you can hit about anything with your bats without hurting the bat. Most damage is done on off center hits and with soft toss your speed is extremely slow and the sweet spot of the bat should be hit consistently.

I know this is an old thread but it came up first when I googled Dented TCB Balls. They do seem to be able to be filled with air even though the valve doesn't look like the normal basketball valve. I had several getting flat after a couple years and filled up with a needle and pump and they are like new with no sand coming back out. It seems they are designed to be filled which makes sense as they will lose some air over time.

I tried using the two dented?, slightly underfilled? balls and I noticed that they never flew well for my daughter. Now it's hard to say for sure, but she seemed to be hitting fairly well and the other four mostly flew ok, but those two always just flopped dead off the bat. I concentrated and watched one all the way to her bat. The ball sort of folded around it. It looked like she hit it right in the middle, right on the sweet spot of the bat--should have been a nice hit, but it just stuck there and didn't want to come off. Do your flattened ones come off the bat well, SBFAmily?

Someone suggested filling them with air, but they don't have a fill-able valve.
