Nice soft material and yet durable. Looking forward to playing more games with this. We use any bat laying around and no gloves, makes for fun for kids to adults alike.I was hesistant because it felt so soft. But after hitting this and hardwr 16inch balls with friends it’s great. I’d say it doesn’t hit as far as regular 16inch balls. However it feels great hitting and does go pretty far.Took this ball to my son's baseball team BBQ and had a game of kids vs parents. Perfect because there's no need for gloves and no worrying about someone getting hurt if they get hit by the ball. We had kids as young as 8 playing and adults as old as 70 and everyone had a great time.Ball worked out perfect for our extended family to play a game of softball with the kids. Great for impromptu games when family is over and not everyone has a glove to use.The Family and friends love it, this is great for playing at bbqs or just to goof around with soft material so it’s good for any age of playerNot your typical softball, maybe to practice, feels weird all around. Prefect for family event to avoid getting hurt. Not for competitive leagues.Perfect oversized ball...4 stars because it can be a little slippery to hold and throw.Softer than other 16 in. cabbage balls. Young children prefer throwing and catching over other 16 in. balls which tend to be very hard until broken in.A little harder than expected but still usable.
