Anyone else feel the Diamond balls at PGF this year are duds?

Hi. My name is John, and I'm a Pitcher's Parent. It's been three days since my last panic attack, and I'm starting to lose my hair.

That is how I envision our meetings going.

I shouldn’t talk. I have been making hitting threads for my kid on here since she was six where all I do is whine..

That's okay. I lied. I started losing my hair at 30.

That's about 5 years later than me...

The absolute worst balls are the Bownet USSSA balls. They're bricks with no seams.

They are great for hitting outfield practice.

My 8 YO son wanted me to hit him fly balls (on a fastpitch field with a baseball) where he could practice robbing HR..that's harder than it looks (as in I hit him 15 and 14 went over the fence by 30 ft..)

They are junk. Even game 1, straight out of the wrapper they were not flying well.

We have been playing with Diamond balls at PGF Nations during week one and they seem like real duds. When hit they don't sound like the typical balls we regularly play with, even when barreled up. I am sure there have been some home runs, but I have yet to see one after watching quite a few games, which is pretty unusual at 16U level. Anyone else have the same experience?

Agreed...those Diamond balls were total garbage.
