Big league organizations run small-ball machine drills to sharpen a hitter's eye, and this is the ball built for exactly that job. Sold by the dozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a 7.5 Inch Machine Ball\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA smaller ball forces a hitter to track and square up a smaller target, and ProNine builds the LPM7.5 with the same liveliness and hardness as a 9 inch ball so the feedback off the bat stays honest. It is not a regulation size baseball and it is not a toy: it is a vision and barrel-accuracy tool used at the highest levels of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsed by Major League Clubs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProNine's small-ball machine baseballs are in the drill work of Major League organizations including the Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals, LA Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, and Tampa Bay Rays. When big league hitters sharpen their eye on a 7.5 inch ball, this is the one in the feeder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeads Up: It Needs 3\/4 Inch Netting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 7.5 inch ball can find the gaps in standard cage mesh. ProNine requires 3\/4 inch netting for this ball, so check your cage before you order a case. Everything else about it drops straight into your routine with the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pitching-machines\"\u003epitching machines\u003c\/a\u003e you already run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Survive the Wheels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wheels chew up raised seams. The LPM7.5's flat seam sits low against the leather and its armored stitching resists the constant friction of wheel-fed reps, which is why leather machine balls outlast game balls in this job by a wide margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProNine LPM7.5 Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 7.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold by the dozen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeam: Flat seam for machine use with special armored stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover: Full Grain Leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter: Cushioned Composite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindings: Premium Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame liveliness and hardness as a 9 inch ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires 3\/4 inch netting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it work in my pitching machine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built for machine use.
