A durable rubber shell wraps a special sand material filling, built for throwing programs that develop arm strength: used for front and side toss, long lasting, safe in normal training use, and it will not dent bats. Each ball comes individually packed. Sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Sand Instead of Solid Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSand filling gives the ball a dead, thud-like response instead of a bounce, which is exactly what weighted training wants: the energy goes into the athlete, not into chasing the ball. Develops strength and extension at the top of the progression. Because it will not dent bats, hitters can run weighted contact drills with the bats they actually swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePart of a Progression\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProNine builds the sand line in six weights from 5.25 oz to 5 lbs, so athletes move up in honest steps instead of jumps.
