Looking for softballs for tee work/soft toss

What's on your mind?

by Bludvl22 » Wed Sep 03, 2014 12:17 pm

I"m looking for a quality ball for soft toss and tee work to hit into a net. What are some of you all using? Trying not to break the bank. This is for 7-15 year old girls.
Thanks.

...I think they're just looking for a recommendation for balls...not necessarily just t-work...as in buy 'mass quantities of'...


I use whatever we have...

Sterling softballs are quality practice and game balls. They're tough and hold up to the frequent abuse. The cover and core haven't broken down to constant use. They don't seem to be bothered by wet conditions either. The best attribute is their lower cost compared to the other popular balls. We use them for 18u and they last. We have several other balls in the buckets and by far they've been the best performers over the past couple years. Our number one go to ball. Try them, you might like them. Good luck.

So apparently someone coming on and asking about practice balls, then wild4cats signing up and praising Sterling softballs, and finally Omsoftball coming on with his Sterling softball infomercial is just some strange coincidence.
Nice work guys. And I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids...
Remind me not to hire you guys if I want to sell something.

You smell a rat? Yes, it's the the old "ask the question, have the middle man toss out your product name, then roll in with the sales pitch under the guise of friendly advice". A tried and true HB staple, and well played by the Sterling softball shills. Now that has played out, maybe they should buy an Ad from Uno.

Yea I'd noticed that discrepancy, but I got so excited to pile on and use the word 'guise' in a sentence, that I threw common sense and caution to the wind. My bad.
