Brands and style of leather softballs you use?

[Northball]

Hosted an annual tourney this past summer and this year I went with the SB-12 USA stamp. They did not hold up as well as the SB-12 NFHS stamp I had used the previous years. I guess there was a reason for the USA's to be $10-$12 cheaper per dozen.

They are cork, but I've never had them go wonky until they're beat on. Thunder Heats are Polycore.

Yes, I have had the few cork get more mishapen long run than the polycore. Not a ton, but they are more prone in my opinion.

Yes, cork balls do get wierd. SB12s absolutely. They probably hold up a tad better than for mens softball that I use to use
them for but I dont see them holding up that great there either. Those things lasted a few innings before they were garbage.
I would never buy SB12s for good BP.

The Sterling ball is a very good ball. Don’t see the Trump ball very often to really have an opinion on it. But to me, the Sterling is one of the better ones.

A lot of balls also have an economy ball and good, high end ones. Trump makes a cheaper ball, then their leathers. Trump also
makes the Evil ball as well...bought the brand from Bobby Buggs.
