About the Kenko 10 Inch Cork Center Softball - White - Dozen
The Kenko 10 Inch Cork Center Softball is a white, rubber covered softball in the small 10 inch size, weighing 5 oz. It is yarn wound around a cork center like a traditional softball, then finished with a molded rubber cover in place of stitched leather. The result is a full flight ball with a .47 coefficient of restitution (COR) that stands up to wet grass, dirt and hard playground surfaces. It is sold by the dozen for softball teams, schools and rec programs.
How the Kenko 10 Inch Softball Is Built
Most softballs this size have a stitched leather or synthetic cover. Kenko molds the cover from rubber, with raised seams formed into the surface, so there is no thread to fray and no leather to soak up water. Wipe the ball off after a muddy practice and it is ready for the next one. Inside, the yarn winding and cork center give the softball real weight and carry, so it travels like a game ball off the bat and out of the hand and is not a limited-flight trainer.
Who This Softball Is For
The 10 inch, 5 oz size fits smaller hands, which is why many youth softball programs start their youngest divisions on a 10 inch ball. Check your league's ball size and cover rules before buying for game use. For older players, Kenko also makes rubber softballs in larger sizes, including the Kenko 11 inch yellow natural rubber softball and the Kenko 12 inch light green softball. You can see every size and cover type we carry in our softballs collection.
