Ordered from Longstreth Women’s Sports and they cancelled it, saying it is NOT for a dozen (despite the 20.00 dozen list price and the 1.6 pound weight for shipping a dozen). After placed order through Amazon, the company called and cancelled. Amazon needs work on their customer support, as they care little about what/how 3rd party sellers advertise or follow through with online sales.

No recomiendo este producto, compre estas pelotas pensando que podía entrenar a mis niños con ellas son muy livianas, no era lo que esperaba, pense que eran las que usaban en las practicas, quizas no lei bien las especificaciones son de goma y muy livianas.

These jugs lite-flite baseballs were the preferred balls by our Coaches. They liked them (2 dozen) so well, we ordered an add’l 6 dozen for practices with the Jugs Lite-Flite Pitching machine !

It’s probably a perfect product for a pitching machine. It might be a perfect product for other parents. For me, it is a high quality product, but I stopped short of giving it 5 stars because it didn’t fit my needs.
I bought it to play catch with my six year old, who is just learning to catch with a baseball glove. The ball is lighter and bouncier than a regular baseball, so it tends to pop out of his glove. He’d rather play with the easier-to-catch hardball (and say “ouch!” whenever it hits him), than play with this one.
As for batting practice, it travels way too far. We use a wiffle ball instead. Again, this might be the perfect product for someone else hitting in a batting cage.

These balls are weighty enough for me to throw them 75 yards but soft enough so that if they come down on my 5 y/o son’s face, he doesn’t cry. They’re an excellent way to train a child who’s afraid a ball how to catch it.
