Bucket of JUGS Bulldog Polyball Baseballs or Softballs
The Bucket of JUGS Bulldog Polyball Baseballs or Softballs is a carry bucket of lightweight polyball practice balls for baseball or softball hitting and fielding drills. Choose a bucket of 18 Optic Yellow baseballs or 12 Game-Ball Yellow softballs. Bulldog polyballs are much lighter and safer than regulation balls, with uniform holes across the surface that help them fly accurately, and they are made with a formula that holds up in cold temperatures. They are safe for indoor or outdoor play and are made for offensive, defensive and close-range batting practice.
Lightweight Practice Balls You Can Use Anywhere
A polyball is the practice ball for places a regulation ball cannot go. Bulldog balls are much lighter than a regulation baseball or softball, so a mishit off a garage wall, a gym floor or a backyard fence does not cause damage, and a ball that hits a player does not hurt the way a hard ball does. That makes them a good fit for indoor hitting in the off-season, backyard sessions with younger players and any drill where a coach is standing close to the hitter.
The softball version is the same size as a regulation softball, so the target a hitter sees is full size even though the ball is light.
Uniform Holes for Accuracy
The holes across a Bulldog ball are evenly spaced over the entire surface. That uniform pattern helps the ball fly consistently and maintain accuracy, including when it is fed through a pitching machine, so drills that rely on location stay productive. A ball with uneven holes or a lopsided shape wanders; a uniform ball goes where it is thrown or fed.
A Formula Built for Durability
Plastic practice balls tend to crack, especially in cold weather. Bulldog polyballs use an advanced formula designed to hold up in even the coldest temperatures, so a set stays in play through fall and early spring sessions outdoors as well as through a winter of indoor work.
Optic Yellow Baseballs or Game-Ball Yellow Softballs
Both versions are bright yellow for easy tracking off the bat and in the air. The baseball bucket holds 18 Optic Yellow baseballs, and the softball bucket holds 12 Game-Ball Yellow softballs. Pick the version that matches your sport; families and coaches with players in both can keep a bucket of each.
The Carry Bucket
The balls come in a bucket for easy carrying, so moving a full set from the garage to the backyard, the gym or the field is one trip. The bucket also keeps the light balls from blowing around when they are not in use.
Bulldog Polyballs or Lite-Flite Balls?
Both are lightweight practice balls that are safe for indoor hitting, but they are built differently. Bulldog balls are holed polyballs with uniform holes across the surface and a formula designed to hold up in cold temperatures, sold in a carry bucket. JUGS Lite-Flite balls are sponge-like balls designed specifically for the JUGS Lite-Flite Pitching Machine that mimic the flight of a leather ball. If you own a Lite-Flite Machine, Lite-Flite balls are the ones made for it; for general close-range and backyard work, Bulldog polyballs are a simple, durable option.
