{"product_id":"pronine-nfhsa-baseball-dozen","title":"ProNine NFHSA High School Game Baseballs - Dozen","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ProNine NFHSA is the durable workhorse of ProNine's high school baseball family: a full grain leather game ball with a cushioned cork center and premium wool blend windings, approved by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and stamped to the NOCSAE standard. Sold by the dozen, it is built for programs that go through a lot of baseballs and want every one of them game-legal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDurability That Stretches a Baseball Budget\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NFHSA uses the same cushioned cork center and premium wool blend windings as ProNine's most popular game ball, under a tough full grain leather cover. That combination keeps the ball round, lively, and playable through the doubleheaders, tournaments, and scrimmages that wear out lesser baseballs. Programs that order game balls by the case pick this model because it takes abuse without giving up game-ball feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRaised Seam, Real Game Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA precision raised seam gives pitchers the same grip reference they get from any high school game ball, so there is no adjustment between this ball and the more expensive models in the line. Catchers and infielders get a true, consistent ball off the bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCertified for the High School Rulebook\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach NFHSA carries the NFHS authenticating mark, meets the NOCSAE performance standard, and bears the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) certification mark. It is fully legal for high school baseball games, not just practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Baseball Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh school and travel programs that want one ball to cover games and heavy scrimmage use, athletic directors stocking a season's supply, and coaches who would rather buy two dozen durable game balls than one dozen delicate ones. It is a smart pick for junior varsity baseball as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Fits in the ProNine NFHS Lineup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NFHSA sits between the economy \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pronine-nfhs1-baseball-dozen\"\u003eNFHS1\u003c\/a\u003e and the premium-cover \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pronine-nfhs-baseball-dozen\"\u003eNFHS\u003c\/a\u003e in ProNine's four-ball NFHS family.

The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pronine-nfhs-baseball-dozen\"\u003eNFHS\u003c\/a\u003e uses a premium full grain leather cover; the NFHSA uses standard full grain leather. Inside, both share the cushioned cork center and premium wool blend windings, and both are NFHS approved with the NOCSAE stamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this a game ball or a practice ball?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is certified as a game ball and many programs use it exactly that way. Its durability also makes it a favorite for live scrimmages, so plenty of teams use one ball for both jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy does a wool wound center matter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool windings recover their shape after every impact, which keeps the baseball round and its compression consistent. Cheaper synthetic windings flatten out faster, and the ball goes dead sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ProNine Sports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51447484055867,"sku":"P15-NFHSA","price":76.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/4658\/8987\/files\/pronine-nfhsa-baseball-dozen-1.jpg?v=1783772966","url":"https:\/\/www.hittingstore.com\/products\/pronine-nfhsa-baseball-dozen","provider":"HittingStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
