Real-Weight Softball Plyoball – Matches 11" Game Ball Weight | Indoor/Outdoor | Raised Seems & Textured Feel | Safer Than Game Balls | 11" Inflatable to 12"

Designed for youth players and beginners, this softball maintains authentic weight and feel of an 11" game ball while offering enhanced safety. The textured finish and raised seams offer realistic ball feel for players learning to throw with fingers on the seams. Unlike foam training balls, this trainer delivers realistic weight for proper catching and throwing mechanics, helping players develop confidence and technique. The plyoball's compression reduces bounce and potential for damage to players or objects. Ideal for throwing to young players still working on catching skills (reduced fear of the ball), and older players working on throwing or pitching in a confined environment. For hitting practice, mis-hits are felt and seen more obviously as only line-drives will result in significant ball flight. Perfect for coaches and parents looking to build fundamental skills in indoor settings, this 11-inch softball trainer helps young athletes transition confidently toward game-ready equipment. *Necessary disclaimer*: obviously if thrown with enough force the ball will cause damage. The compression of the ball is just lower, meaning it absorbs more of the impact. Use common sense if choosing to throw a ball in an indoor environment or at a player.

• DESIGN: 11-inch plyo (soft shell pvc) softball with true game-ball weight and raised seams provides authentic feel while being safer for practice.
• SKILL DEVELOPMENT: Real weight and tactile feedback help players develop proper catching, throwing, pitching, and hitting mechanics.
• AUTHENTIC FEEL: Textured finish and raised seams replicate game ball grip feel while maintaining safer practice characteristics.
• SAFETY FEATURES: Lower compression reduces bounce and impact force, making it preferable for ball-shy players when compared to game balls, meaning they're more willing to use good technique and 'keep their eyes behind the ball' compared to harder game balls.
• DISCLAIMER: If thrown with enough force any ball will cause damage. The compression of this plyoball is just lower, meaning it absorbs more of the impact. Use good judgement when choosing to throw a ball in an indoor environment or at a young player.
