JUGS Sting-Free Dimpled Softballs: Game-Ball Yellow

Turning up the speed on a softball pitching machine should challenge the hitter, not punish her hands. JUGS Sting-Free Dimpled Softballs are made for exactly that: high-rep machine work where a jammed swing does not sting, the bat comes away undented, and the ball flies true pitch after pitch. They come in Game-Ball Yellow in both 11 inch and 12 inch sizes, sold by the dozen, and they work indoors or outside.

Dimples Built for Machine Accuracy

A dimpled surface gives a softball pitching machine a uniform ball to grip, with no raised seam lining up differently on each feed. The result is a more predictable pitch location, which is what a softball hitter needs when she is working on one zone or one timing problem for a full round. When the ball goes where the machine sends it, the coach can coach the swing instead of the pitch.

Sting-Free Contact at Higher Speeds

The sting-free ball formula is designed to keep hands comfortable even as machine speeds climb. That matters for younger softball players learning to stay in against faster pitching, and for experienced hitters taking a hundred swings in a session. Despite the softer feel at contact, each ball matches a leather softball in size and weight and feels like leather off the bat, so the feedback a hitter gets is still honest.

11 Inch or 12 Inch: Picking the Right Size

Choose the size that matches the ball your players use in games. The 11 inch softball is the common choice for younger age groups, while the 12 inch is used in older youth, high school, college and adult softball. Check your league rules if you are unsure. Both sizes share the same Game-Ball Yellow color, dimpled surface and sting-free construction, so a program that runs players of different ages can stock each size without changing how practice feels.

Who These Sting-Free Dimpled Softballs Are For

Backyard players with a home machine, youth softball leagues, high school and college teams all use dimpled machine softballs for daily batting practice. Coaches who share bats across a roster also appreciate a ball that will not dent aluminum bats.

Machines These Softballs Work In

They are compatible with JUGS softball pitching machines, including the JUGS BP1 Softball Pitching Machine and the JUGS Changeup Super Softball machine. They also feed through the JUGS Soft Toss Machine for close-range work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these softballs come in white?

No. Both the 11 inch and 12 inch versions come in Game-Ball Yellow.

Can a coach throw these for live batting practice?

They are designed for pitching machines. A coach can toss them, but the dimpled surface is meant for machine wheels rather than a pitcher's grip.

Will they hold up at high machine speeds?

Yes. The sting-free formula is intended to keep contact comfortable even at higher machine speeds.

Which size should I order?

Match the ball size your league plays with. Many younger divisions use 11 inch softballs and older divisions use 12 inch.
