Big Bucket of JUGS Lite-Flite Softballs, 2 Dozen

The Big Bucket of JUGS Lite-Flite Softballs packs 2 dozen (24) Lite-Flite softballs into a Michele Smith ball bucket with a lid. Lite-Flite softballs are soft, lightweight practice balls that give a softball hitter a true, game-like pitch to track without the sting when a ball gets away. They are made specifically for the JUGS Lite-Flite Pitching Machine, come in Game-Ball Yellow, and are available in 11 inch or 12 inch so the ball matches the size your players see in games.

For a fastpitch player who is still getting comfortable in the box, or a team that wants high-rep hitting inside a gym through the winter, a full bucket keeps enough balls in rotation for a real session without stopping every few swings to collect.

Game-Like Softball Pitches Without the Sting

The point of a Lite-Flite softball is to let a hitter see a realistic pitch without worrying about getting hurt by it. The ball follows a true, game-like flight, so a hitter can work on timing, pitch recognition and swing path against something that looks like a real pitch. If a ball rides in on the hands or bounces off an arm, it does not sting. That removes the reason young hitters pull their heads or step out, and lets them focus on the swing.

The same sting-free design makes these softballs useful for defensive work too. Newer fielders can take ground balls and fly balls without flinching, and coaches can run close-range drills without the worry that comes with hard balls.

Firmer Formula That Holds Its Shape

A soft ball is only useful in a machine if it comes out the same way every time. Lite-Flite softballs use a firmer formula that keeps its shape even at high speeds, so the pitch the machine delivers on the fortieth ball of a round looks like the pitch it delivered on the first. That consistency is what lets a hitter trust what she is seeing and lets a coach work on one problem at a time.

Built for the JUGS Lite-Flite Machine

These softballs are specifically designed for use in the JUGS Lite-Flite Pitching Machine, which throws fastballs, curves and sliders for both baseball and softball. Pairing the machine with a full bucket of Lite-Flite softballs gives a fastpitch hitter a safe way to see breaking pitches and learn to stay in against them. If you only need a dozen to top up an existing set, JUGS Lite-Flite Softballs are also sold by the dozen in both sizes.

Game-Ball Yellow for Easy Tracking

Every ball in the bucket is Game-Ball Yellow, a bright color that stands out against gym walls, netting, grass and sky. Hitters pick the ball up out of the machine sooner, and fielders track it more easily off the bat, which matters most in indoor spaces with mixed lighting.

11 Inch or 12 Inch Lite-Flite Softballs

The bucket comes in two sizes, and every ball in a bucket is the same size. Pick the size that matches the softball your players use in games. Younger divisions often play an 11 inch ball and older divisions a 12 inch ball, but league rules vary, so check yours before ordering. Programs with players in more than one age group can keep a bucket of each size.

The Michele Smith Bucket With Lid

The 24 softballs ship in a Michele Smith ball bucket with a lid. The lid keeps the balls together in a trunk or back seat on the way to practice, and between sessions the bucket keeps the whole set in one place instead of scattered across a garage floor.

Choosing a JUGS Softball Bucket

JUGS makes several 2-dozen softball buckets, and the right one depends on how your team practices:

A simple way to decide is to think about who is hitting and who is feeding. Younger hitters building confidence suit Lite-Flite, daily machine rounds suit the dimpled or LeatherLast balls, and coaches who throw live batting practice get the most from the seamed balls.

Who the Big Bucket of JUGS Lite-Flite Softballs Is For

  • Youth softball leagues building confidence in younger hitters
  • High school and college softball programs that hit indoors in the off-season
  • Hitting facilities running a JUGS Lite-Flite Machine in a cage or open space
  • Families with a Lite-Flite Machine who want enough balls for a full round

Drills to Run With Lite-Flite Softballs

  • Machine batting practice with the Lite-Flite Machine, mixing fastballs with curves and sliders to train pitch recognition
  • Inside-pitch work for hitters who bail out, since a ball that runs in will not sting
  • Indoor hitting sessions in a gym or garage during the winter or on rainy days
  • Ground ball and fly ball drills for newer fielders who are still learning to stay in front of the ball
  • Close-range drills where a coach wants to keep players safe while working on hand position and contact
