Sklz Impact Softballs

[sbmom19]

Does anyone have any experience with these? They are kind of spendy at $20 for 8 but if they last I would be way ahead compared to wiffles with their high break rate or the cost of foams. Thanks!

Haven't tried those, but I do have a dozen of the TCB hole balls and I love them. At $40+ for dozen, they're even pricier than the SKLZ though.

I would like to tell you they are a great buy but the ones I purchased in November have yet to be delivered.

Keep us in the loop.... I read you can't throw them straight in the reviews??? Let me know !!!

Could that perhaps be a good thing? In other words, the toss would have more movement to it, like a real movement pitch? Or is the 'can't throw them straight' meaning you can't get them anywhere near where you're aiming?

I suspect the aerodynamics are unbalanced because of the shape of the holes, which may cause it to cut/dive in a way that is very unlike a real ball. Just a hunch, though.

Yea I guess you can take it both ways... I would want to be able to throw them straight, then add my own spins. In the review, they were complaining about it ???

Like you, I'm interested in the $price.

The TCBs are worth every penny. Forget the SKLZ balls.

TCB balls? Translation please?
