It will not dent bats, it does not care about wet grass or turf, and it costs meaningfully less than leather while still swinging like a baseball. Sold by the dozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComposite Where It Counts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine balls live a hard life: wheel friction on the way in, barrel contact on the way out, and whatever the weather is doing in between.
