Champro Chicago Softball (White, 16-Inch)

It’s a nice big ball for the kids. The more you hit it the better it gets. Also what a good price.

If you are looking for a mushball for family picnics this might work. The ball is definitely soft enough for athletic people to catch barehanded; has a slight sponge feeling to it. Beware however that you should give the ball a good break-in a couple days before using as it will help soften it quiet a bit once clobbered around. Also good hitters will send it a long way, so you might want to use a big enough field. So far it still bounces pretty high on hard landings to the ground, don't know if that will hold though. Ball's momentum also dies in a hurry once it hits the ground so that's a plus for safety. Only real negative I have seen is that the ball might be difficult for some small children to throw because of its large size. Oh and the seams are just a little smaller than expected but its not an issue at all.

Good for batting. Not soft or heavy weight

Took me back to my high scool years, no one even knew this size softball exsisted where we live in south TX.

This ball is perfectly made! Easy to grip and catch. It's firm and not squishy like other makes. I moved to Arkansas a few years ago and no one knows 16" and quite naturally nowhere sells it either. Thanks to Amazon, I'm able to have a good game with folks who never played the game.

Gift for a West coast friend that had no idea what I was saying when I mentioned 16'. They love it and love the logo!

Doesnt take long to soften up and stitching is really good quality
