Bucket of JUGS Sting-Free Dimpled Softballs, 2 Dozen

The Bucket of JUGS Sting-Free Dimpled Softballs packs 2 dozen (24) dimpled practice softballs into a Michele Smith ball bucket with a lid. They match the size and weight of a leather softball and are designed to feel like leather when hit, but the Sting-Free formula keeps hitters' hands comfortable and the balls are safe for bats. Made for JUGS softball pitching machines and live arm drills, they come in Game-Ball Yellow in 11 inch or 12 inch, and they are waterproof for practice indoors or out.

For a fastpitch hitter taking round after round off a machine, or a coach throwing batting practice to a full roster, a bucket of 24 keeps the work moving without a trip to the fence every few swings.

Feels Like Leather Off the Bat

A practice ball is only useful if what a hitter feels in practice carries into games. These softballs match the size and weight of leather softballs and are designed to mimic the feel of a real leather softball at contact. A hitter who squares one up gets honest feedback, and a hitter who gets jammed feels it in the swing rather than in a stinging pair of hands.

Sting-Free Contact Pitch After Pitch

The Sting-Free formula is the reason to choose these over a hard ball for daily batting practice. Hitters can take a long round without their hands wearing down, younger players can stay in against faster pitching, and a jammed swing does not end a session. The balls are also safe for bats, which matters when a team shares bats across the roster.

Dimpled for Pitching Machine Work

A dimpled surface gives a softball pitching machine the same ball to grip on every feed, with no raised seam lining up differently from one pitch to the next. These softballs are made specifically for use with JUGS softball pitching machines such as the JUGS BP1 Softball Pitching Machine, and they work for live arm drills as well. If you are running a JUGS Carousel Feeder on a softball machine, dimpled-style softballs are among the balls it is made to feed.

Waterproof and Built for Any Practice Setting

The balls are waterproof and durable, so a wet field, damp grass or a dewy morning session does not ruin them. They work indoors in a cage or gym and outdoors on the field, which lets one set of practice softballs cover the whole season.

11 Inch or 12 Inch Sting-Free Dimpled Softballs

Each bucket holds 24 balls of one size. Choose the size that matches the softball your players use in games. Younger age groups commonly play an 11 inch ball, while older youth, high school, college and adult softball typically use a 12 inch ball. Check your league rules if you are unsure, and keep a bucket of each size if you coach more than one age group.

The Michele Smith Bucket With Lid

The softballs come in a Michele Smith ball bucket with a lid. The lid keeps the set together in the car and in the equipment shed, and the bucket gives a coach somewhere to keep balls within reach while feeding the machine.

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.
