So I am our town's commissioner for in house softball. I've been looking for ideas to help the learning process with our youngest levels and one idea that was brought up was changing the softball used at 8U to ease the transition to 10U.
We currently use the Incrediballs which honestly bounce way too much and turn routine plays into a mess. This also hurts the girls moving up who are taught the right groundball fundamentals as they expect every to bounce up at some point. A local town uses the RIF 10's and my team played out there a few years ago for fall ball. They are harder yes, but not as hard as the Dream Seams we use at 10U but also would help the girls learn on the right ball.
Anyone have an opinion on this?
