Favorite Game/Practice Balls

[Axe]

I'm surprised I couldn't find more discussion of balls on the forum. What's everyone's favorite game balls/and or practice balls?

We have bought from Sterling in the past but they seem to be out of stock of all of their balls. I have also heard some discussion recently of different balls/cores being different weights but haven't found anything concrete to back that up. Thoughts?

Sterling and Trump Evil balls are my favorite, and I like Dudley also, all leather of course.

DD’s a big fan of Dudley Thunder Heat. Good raised seams for pitching.

With the emphasis on big, didn't need my readers for that post Jay!

Interestingly (or not), the Rawlings Dream Seam not really a dream seam for pitching.

My favorites practice balls are the ones I find at fields that people have just left there..

True. I always wonder who AS #8 is when we hit our practice balls.

I must have at least 20 to 25 (good) balls that I have picked up over the years.

Thunder Heat leather have been the most durable practice ball I've used......

I had one pitcher that wanted nothing but dream seams......another hated them lol.......

For hitting as long as it not those worthless ADIDAS balls that get egg shaped after a few hits.....
Pitching DD prefers the CHMAPRO or those same Dudley balls
